Amador County – An Alabama-based luxury property seller will auction 511 acres of land near Sutter Creek in May, including a 380-acre parcel that has a frontage along Sutter Creek.

The company, Albert Burney Auction Company, based in Huntsville, Alabama said the property is located between Ione and Sutter Creek, at 7000 Sutter-Ione Road in unincorporated Amador County. Albert Burney Office Manager Caroline Kennedy said earlier this month that the property is owned by Michael Grasso, who had plans to develop the large property, and now is planning to sell it at auction and give someone else the chance to develop it.

The property is available to view and tour starting May 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The 511 acres is “selling as an entirety or in tracts,” and is billed as a rarity with more than “three-quarters of a mile of frontage on Sutter Creek in addition to a pond and seasonal creeks located throughout the property.” Both parcels are comprised of pastures, wooded areas, and rolling hills.

Albert Burney President Warren Ward said the land has “360-degree views, scenic meadows, and ancient oaks.” He called it “a private retreat in one of the nation’s most desirable areas, with access to shopping, casinos, and fine dining.”

Both parcels are entirely fenced-in, with gated entrances. One parcel is 132 acres and has 2,600 feet of frontage on Sutter-Ione Road. The second parcel is 380 acres with more than three-quarters of a mile of frontage on Sutter Creek, and views of Mount Diablo.

The auction is 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 14 at 7000 Sutter-Ione Road, with registration starting at 10 a.m.
