Saureel Vineyards is at 1140 Cold Springs Road, Placerville, California 95667. The property is in unincorporated El Dorado County, outside the Placerville city limits, in the Sierra Nevada foothills area historically known as Gold Hill.

There is no 1110 Cold Springs Road. El Dorado County has assigned three address points to this parcel, 1100, 1140 and 1142 Cold Springs Road, with 1100 as the assessment roll’s address of record and 1140 as the address the owner, the listing and the Postal Service use. A county property search for 1110 Cold Springs Road returns no result and no such record exists anywhere in El Dorado County. Rely on the assessor parcel number, 089-010-052-000, in the preliminary title report rather than on a street address.

Saureel Vineyards is a 116.86-acre estate ranch with four separate residences, a private nine-acre lake, planted vineyard in the El Dorado AVA, and an equestrian facility including a 21,600 square foot covered arena. MetroList classifies the listing as three or more houses on one lot; the El Dorado County assessor’s use code is rural residential land over 20 acres with at least one single-family residence.

The Saureel Vineyards offering at 1140 Cold Springs Road is 116.86 acres, confirmed by the El Dorado County assessor, the county parcel layer and the listing record. Marketing materials describing the ranch as 148 or 150 acres are describing a larger four-parcel holding under the same ownership, not this offering.

There are four separate residences. The estate residence was built in 2009 on a single level with seven baths and an attached guest apartment; the listing record puts it at 7,814 square feet with five bedrooms, while the El Dorado County assessor records 6,635 square feet and three bedrooms. Both figures are given because they have not been reconciled, and a buyer should ask for the appraisal or a measured floor plan. The others are a 3,338 square foot home originally built around 1906 and rebuilt in 1990, a 1,500 square foot lake house, and a 1,050 square foot rental residence.

The most recent listing record for 1140 Cold Springs Road shows $7,999,888. Price, terms and current availability should be confirmed directly, because the figure reflects a prior listing record rather than an executed agreement.

Current availability of Saureel Vineyards should be confirmed directly with Andrea Lembach of the Lembach Group at Keller Williams Realty, at (916) 524-3535. The multiple listing service record for this property has changed status during 2026, and status on any single-property website can lag the multiple listing service.

Saureel Vineyards has been operated with four income activities on one parcel: a wedding and event venue, wine grape sales, a short-term rental, and horse boarding. Those activities are described in the listing record and are each evidenced by the property’s public operating presence, but no income, expense or occupancy figures have been independently verified and none are published on this site. Financial records are released to qualified buyers on request and under confidentiality.

A search of publicly available El Dorado County records did not locate a use permit, Ranch Marketing registration or other entitlement authorising commercial events, commercial lodging or the equestrian boarding operation on this parcel, which is zoned PA-20 Planned Agricultural. That may reflect the limits of what the county publishes online rather than the absence of an entitlement. A buyer should confirm the entitlement status of every commercial activity with El Dorado County Planning and Building before removing contingencies, and should not assume that current activity establishes a permitted use.

El Dorado County zones this parcel PA-20, Planned Agricultural, with a general plan designation of Agricultural Lands and an Agricultural District overlay. The MLS record lists the zoning as AE, which does not match the county layer; the county governs. The parcel is not enrolled in a Williamson Act contract, so no agricultural contract restricts a sale or a change of use.

The Saureel Vineyards equestrian facility includes a 21,600 square foot covered riding arena, a 7,560 square foot show barn, a 6,750 square foot mare motel, a 6,400 square foot feed barn, an outdoor arena, and more than 20,000 linear feet of steel pipe fencing. During the 2021 Caldor Fire the property served as an official large-animal evacuation site and housed 532 animals, which demonstrates the facility’s working capacity better than any measurement.

CAL FIRE maps this parcel as a High Fire Hazard Severity Zone within a State Responsibility Area, under the maps adopted in 2024. That is ordinary for this part of El Dorado County and is an insurance question before it is a fire question, so a buyer should obtain quotes early in the transaction. One recorded wildfire perimeter touches the parcel, an unnamed fire in 1931; the Caldor and Mosquito fires did not reach this area. The parcel is in FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard.

The listing record describes well water with dual agricultural-rate water mains, a septic system, 220V and 440V electrical service, and a solar system. The property is within the El Dorado Irrigation District and the county holds septic permit ON0004102 for it. The county well-permit layer shows no permitted well on this parcel, so the water source, well production, water rights associated with the lake, septic capacity across five dwelling units and event use, and whether the solar system is owned or leased are all buyer due-diligence items.

The FY2025-26 secured tax bill for parcel 089-010-052-000 was $53,857.52, paid in full, with no delinquencies on record since 2019-20. The 2026-27 assessed value is $5,266,259, of which $221,112 is the vineyard and orchard plantings assessed as growing improvements. A sale triggers reassessment under Proposition 13, so a buyer should model property tax on the purchase price rather than on the current roll.

Saureel Vineyards is in unincorporated El Dorado County, California, north of the city of Placerville on Cold Springs Road, about three and a half miles from Coloma where gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in 1848. The property sits at roughly 1,600 feet of elevation within the El Dorado American Viticultural Area, near the Apple Hill orchard region, on the US Highway 50 corridor between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.

No. The offering is the 116.86 acres at 1140 Cold Springs Road. Additional parcels held by the same owner across the road, totalling 33.67 acres with citrus groves, vineyard, residences and outbuildings, are offered separately, and one of them, 1095 Cold Springs Road, appears to have closed as a separate sale in May 2026. Availability and terms for any remaining adjacent parcel must be confirmed directly.

Financial records for the event, rental, grape and boarding operations are released to qualified buyers on request and under confidentiality. No income, expense or occupancy figures are published on this website because none have been independently verified.

A buyer should confirm zoning, permitted uses and the entitlement status of all commercial operations with El Dorado County, obtain a preliminary title report and survey covering every parcel in the offering, inspect all structures and systems, evaluate the water source, well production and water rights including rights associated with the lake, review septic capacity against five dwelling units and event use, assess wildfire risk and confirm insurability, model property taxes on the purchase price rather than the current assessment, establish what personal property and which business names, contracts and bookings convey, and reconcile the conflicting square footage and bedroom figures against an appraisal.
