SUTTER CREEK, Calif. -- Approximately 511 acres of scenic land in historic Amador County -- only minutes from Sutter Creek and Ione -- will be up for auction on Saturday, May 14, with Albert Burney Auction Company handling the sale.

"This is a rare opportunity to purchase land in California Gold Country," said Warren Ward, president of Albert Burney. "This land has extensive frontage on Sutter Creek as well as a pond and a variety of seasonal creeks and streams, 360-degree views, scenic meadows, and ancient oaks. It’s a private retreat in one of the nation's most desirable areas, with access to shopping, casinos, and fine dining," said Ward.

He added that while the land is only minutes from Sutter Creek, it’s also near the Sierra Foothills wine region and less than an hour from Sacramento.

The land will sell in two parcels that may be purchased either separately or in combination. Both parcels are entirely fenced in and feature gated entrances. The first parcel, approximately 132 acres, includes 2,600 feet of frontage on Sutter-Ione road. The second parcel is 380 acres with more than three-quarters of a mile of frontage on Sutter Creek and views of the nearby Diablo Mountain.

The auction will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 14 at 7000 Sutter-Ione Road, with registration starting at 10 a.m. Auction representatives will be available daily from May 6 to the auction date to answer questions and offer property tours.
