Placerville Real Estate

Named after the "placer" gold deposits and the rich placer mines that grew up along them, Placerville is a town that's steeped in the history of the California Gold Rush. Indeed, the Gold Rush began with the highly publicized discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, just ten miles from Placerville. Like Shingle Springs, Placerville grew up as an important early supply center for the hoards of forty-niners who flocked to the area to make their fortunes.

Placerville is centrally located between the outstanding recreational facilities of Lake Tahoe and the city lights of Sacramento. Residents enjoy the best of both worlds.

Placerville is the county seat and the center of Government, financial, and civic activity for the county. It is the also the home of the Mountain Democrat, California's oldest newspaper.

Placerville is within easy reach of historic Coloma, Apple Hill ranches, many premier wineries, and the great national and county parks of the eastern half of the county.

Real Estate in Placerville is a mix of many beautiful older homes and commercial buildings downtown, as well as a variety of homes in quiet, rural settings. These include larger estates and fine horse properties.
