Ranches for Sale in Amador County, CA

From compact 10-acre equestrian properties to working cattle ranches over 1,000 acres, Amador County offers exceptional ranch real estate at prices well below California's coastal counties.

What to know

Ranch transactions in Amador require deep local knowledge — water rights (riparian, appropriative, well), grazing leases, fencing, county zoning, and Williamson Act contracts all factor into value. Neeta partners with local ranch brokers, hydrologists, and surveyors to make sure buyers know exactly what they're acquiring.

Market notes

Equestrian properties on 5–20 acres typically range from $700,000 to $1.5M. Working cattle ranches commonly trade at $4,000–$8,000 per acre depending on water, improvements, and AUMs. Recreational hunting ranches in the eastern foothills can be more attainable still.
