“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.”

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.

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.

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.

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.
