Typically run as a winter grazing ranch, the Grant Ranch has run yearlings and cows and calves. Cattle are typically shipped in in the late fall and early winter, and shipped out in the late spring, depending on annual rainfall and drinking water. Cattle are watered with seasonal creeks, ponds, and streams, with Willow Creek, Laguna Creek, and Dry Creek running through the ranch. A prospective Buyer could explore the potential of planting some of the ranch to vineyard, as Amador County has become known as one of California’s premier wine destinations with several notable wineries in the region.

The thickest part of the ranch has manzanita on it, but with the Cal Fire Academy being one of the ranch’s neighbors, they have been in an ongoing several year brush removal program. Cal Fire sends out people to learn to operate equipment and remove the brush, with a plan to pile it and then burn it in the winter months. It is reported that Cal Fire wants this to continue for the foreseeable future.

The ranch has some upside potential with a reported 1 billion ton in clay deposits with a few mines on the ranch. It also has a large chunk of industrial zoned ground with rail service and a PG&E gas line. Information on the mining operations and commercial zoning available upon request.
