About this home
SCHAAD RANCH - Founded 1873 | Wilseyville, California A 191-Acre Century Ranch for the Next 150 Years
Some properties are bought. Others are inherited forward. Founded in 1873, while California was still shaping its identity after the Gold Rush, Schaad Ranch has remained under the care of a single family for more than 150 years—through fifteen U.S. Presidents, two centuries, and the complete transformation of the American West. Opportunities to acquire a true “century ranch” of this caliber are exceptionally rare. This is not merely land. It is continuity.
A Landscape of Enduring Privacy - Perched at approximately 3,000 feet in elevation, Schaad Ranch occupies a commanding, sunny hilltop setting overlooking open grazing land, timbered forest, and the Mokelumne River canyon beyond. The property borders over 200 acres of protected BLM land, creating a permanent wilderness buffer and an expansive sense of scale—where your horizon remains untouched and your privacy preserved. A dedicated ATV route leads directly to the Middle Fork of the Mokelumne River, complemented by Forest Creek and Boston Gulch. These natural water features anchor the land in permanence—assets that cannot be replicated, only stewarded.
A Fortress of Peace & Self-Reliance - Purpose-built for resilience, the ranch operates fully off-grid with solar power, private well, septic, and propane support. The custom residence is thoughtfully sited to capture sweeping views and natural light, blending comfort with independence. More than 130 acres have undergone professional forest mastication (2022/2025), establishing a park-like setting with dramatically reduced fuel loads. Ongoing forest health and management practices are already in place—ensuring the land remains safe, productive, and thriving for generations to come. An active Non-Industrial Timber Management Plan supports long-term stewardship, renewable building materials, and responsible land use—reinforcing the ranch’s role as a working, living asset rather than a passive holding.
Built for Generations, Not Just Owners - Partially fenced and historically grazed, the land supports livestock, open meadows, and regenerative agricultural potential. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, an equestrian or agricultural estate, or the foundation for an intentional multigenerational community, Schaad Ranch offers both scale and flexibility.
Connected Yet Wonderfully Removed – While offering rare seclusion, the ranch remains within reach of Northern California’s most celebrated destinations. Yosemite National Park lies roughly 60–70 miles to the south, placing world-renowned granite cliffs, waterfalls, and alpine wilderness within comfortable day-trip distance. Calaveras Big Trees State Park is approximately an hour away, offering ancient giant sequoias and scenic trails. The historic Gold Country towns of Murphys and Sonora provide dining, wine tasting, and everyday amenities nearby, while both Sacramento and Lake Tahoe are reachable in roughly two hours—balancing privacy with accessibility.
This is a place to protect family and friends. To gather. To teach stewardship. To pass down not just wealth, but values.
The Opportunity - In a world of shrinking landholdings and fleeting ownership, Schaad Ranch stands apart. It is an investment in time, privacy, and legacy—a property that has already proven its ability to endure. We invite the next generation of stewards to step into a story that began in 1873—and to define what the next 150 years will hold.
Schaad Ranch - Preserve the land - Protect the legacy.
