Legacy lives here.
This ranch has never been offered on the open market — ownership transferred just once, on a handshake. Rolling golden hills studded with ancient oaks, framed by the North Fork of Dry Creek to the north and the South Fork of Dry Creek to the south, and steeped in the history of California's Gold Country, Amoruso Ranch is a rare, intact legacy holding just minutes from Plymouth in the heart of Amador County.
Comprising 1,023 acres across 10 contiguous parcels, the entire property is enrolled under the Williamson Act, providing significantly reduced property taxes and long-term land protection. Multiple roads traverse the ranch, which is fully fenced and cross-fenced, offering a variety of terrain and native vegetation suited for cattle, horses, or wildlife.
FIRE MANAGEMENT & LAND STEWARDSHIP
CAL FIRE has actively managed the property through annual prescribed burns and vegetation clearing, keeping the land healthy, accessible, and fire-resilient — a meaningful advantage in today's California landscape.
INFRASTRUCTURE
The ranch is naturally watered by the North Fork of Dry Creek along the Fiddletown side and the South Fork of Dry Creek along the southern boundary, both seasonal creeks that support agricultural operations for approximately eight months of the year. Five wells, two holding water tanks, and four springs ensure reliable water supply throughout the remainder of the year, providing consistent, year-round water resources across the property. Two separate power meters serve the property. Numerous access points and established roads are found throughout. Designed to support working ranch operations, the property is equipped with a full complement of livestock infrastructure including corrals, sorting pens, loading facilities, holding pens and a chute. Combined with vast grazing acreage and established ranch improvements, the property is well-suited for continued cattle operations and a variety of agricultural uses.
RESIDENCES
Two homes offer flexibility for an owner, ranch manager, or extended family. The original ranch home is nestled into a hillside off Fiddletown Road, naturally shaded by the terrain and surrounding mature trees, with an updated kitchen, bathrooms, and living room. A second residence, accessed off Quartz Mountain Road, offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
THE BARNS
An early 1900s barn, recently renovated, features massive hay storage, 13 stalls, a tack room and storage room with concrete floors, an arena, and a private apartment above — ideal for a ranch manager or guest quarters.
A second barn encompasses 8,000 square feet, with 4,000 square feet of unfinished space above, offering exceptional storage and extraordinary future potential. Whether envisioned as a barndominium, premier equestrian facility, showcase barn, event space, or custom ranch headquarters, the scale and presence of this structure create possibilities that are rarely found. A substantial building pad sits adjacent, ready for further expansion.
THE PARTY BARN
The ranch's gathering place is built for the end of a long day in the saddle. Stamped concrete floors, a bar, a fireplace, and upper-level storage make this the perfect venue for crew dinners, family gatherings, and celebrations. It's the kind of space that turns a ranch into a legacy.
