Shaston Ranch 290 Acres of Gold Country, Copperopolis, CA Some land you buy. This land you inherit a story from. Shaston Ranch unfolds across 290 A1-zoned acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Calaveras County ground once worked during the Gold Rush, still holding two sealed mine shafts and veins of milky quartz beneath oak and manzanita groves. It's the same storied Mother Lode country that inspired Mark Twain's The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Today, that history shares the land with real opportunity: open pasture and rolling hills for cattle or vineyards, an agricultural well, and a seasonal stream feeding a pond a former owner named Turtle Pond its waters bound for Salt Spring Valley Reservoir less than a mile off. Views run wide across pasture, valley, foothill, and mountain in every direction. Reached by a private shared easement off Hunt Rd near Hwy 4, this is a rare stretch of California ready for its next chapter whether that's a working ranch, a vineyard, or simply room to breathe.
