Sheldon Hills Brings New Release After New Release


“This place can only be described as special,” explains Garrett Melahn, Community Sales Manager for The Ranch at Sheldon Hills. “It’s the only way to explain why we continue to gain quality neighbors at an unprecedented rate. We have always had such a unique design when it comes to our neighborhoods and architecture, but with this location and sub $500,000 pricing, it is just too great of an opportunity for people to pass up. These homes allow families to grow, shrink, and grow again, when an unexpected, or expected, change happens. The design of our homes creates an environment that will give everyone the space and privacy they so desire. We have been building this way for years, with family in mind….with life in mind.”

With a new “showroom” home being released, now is the time to come and see “the last home you’ll ever buy”.

The Scottsdale offers an open, split floor plan, an inviting entry that flows into an oversized family room that is geared towards entertainment, with a wall of picture windows overlooking the skyline of Sacramento. The release of lot 15 gives buyers the already included “Platinum Package” upgrades. The Platinum Option package includes $49,000 of the industry’s top of the line upgrades; Granite slab countertops with backsplash, stainless steel appliances, upgraded tile flooring in all bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, and entry are just some of the amenities included. Situated on 2.1 acres and boasting views of foothills there is no other value that compares the Scottsdale. The Scottsdale is available starting at $499,900 when using JTS’s preferred lender.

“We are only 10 to 15 minutes from Folsom, but we offer “country” living that creates an unmatched experience. The exclusivity, the beautiful surroundings, and the acreage are unparalleled in the area. There is no better value for your dollar than here at Sheldon Hills,” explains Melahn.

“It is the number one reason why home buyers love this community,” explains Garrett Melahn, Community Sales Manager for The Ranch at Sheldon Hills. “So many of today’s buyers refuse to feel bound by tiny lot sizes that have become the ‘norm’.

Since the release of the very first home site, The Ranch at Sheldon Hills has an aura of grandeur and elegance that today’s new home market is lacking. Beginning with a picturesque covered bridge entry, continuing through with meandering roads that lead to each homestead, and being surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty that serves as the perfect backdrop, Sheldon Hills offers a well-designed neighborhood boasting spectacular 2-3 acre properties, many of which can still be “personalized” with upgrades that you choose.

Come “Sample” The Ione Lifestyle, This Weekend Only

Today’s new home buyer must be willing to invest in the long term of their new home, and even more importantly, the long term of their community. To purchase a new home today, include the usual list of size, room count, features, and price, but even more importantly, you must consider what the surrounding neighborhood and community have to offer your family. Is this a place where we can raise our children? Is this a place where recreation comes in abundance? Is this a safe neighborhood? Can I see us growing old together here? And, can I see myself become an integral part of making a difference here? The city of Ione answers these questions with a resounding……Absolutely. And, this weekend only, come “sample” this incredible lifestyle with a free wine tasting and lunch, courtesy of JTS.

Amador County has been voted one of the best places to live in rural America by the prestigious Progressive Farmer magazine. Located within seconds of the award winning Castle Oaks Golf Course and stunning foothill views, Ione provides the perfect setting for anyone looking to upgrade in the recreation department. The championship golf course offers five sets of tees and challenges the low handicapper to the weekend warrior. World class trout and bass fishing spots are abundant with 32 lakes and numerous rivers cutting through the county. White water rafting and skiing offer the outdoor types something to do all year long. With wine being the single largest agriculture commodity in the surrounding area, Ione offers some of the most picturesque wineries in the state. Most are family owned, and those families are the ones who personally greet you in their tasting rooms. The history of wine making is exceptional in the area, offering some vines that are 65 years or older.

The drive into the historic foothills of Ione brings to the imagination the gold rush days. The thought of independent, focused miners bent on making their fortune is how the area became what it is today. Ione was a place of commerce, a supply center, and offered railroad service to the men and women working in the area. The same cornerstones that helped found Ione are still prevalent today. Many of the shopkeepers live within blocks of the 150 year old buildings where they work. Services to the community and access to the foothills make Ione a fantastic place to live and play.

Community pride is something many of us aren’t used to. We don’t know out neighbors, so we don’t care to know about the community. The pride of ownership is evident by the well manicured and maintained homes in the area. From established neighborhoods to new up and coming areas, taking care of your home is just as natural as breathing. In Ione, you become part of the community the second you arrive. With numerous patriotic and hometown celebrations that involve the youngest generation to the “Greatest Generation”, Ione holds its residents close to its heart.
