Morales Ranch

The ranch is ideally located just 20 minutes south of the historically rich town of Placerville, CA. Secluded and private, the ranch offers easy access to modern conveniences. Currently used for cattle grazing with an existing cattle lease, the ranch’s rolling topography, perimeter fencing, and existing livestock equipment provide a solid foundation for continued agricultural pursuits.

There is also a manufactured caretaker’s home located near the entrance of the property.
