Nestled in the heart of the California Gold Country, between the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the lush vineyards of the Lodi Wine Region, the town of Wallace beckons one to embrace a more tranquil environment in which to call home. Located in Calaveras County, which is abundant in natural and historic diversity, the region offers picturesque Gold Rush towns, award winning foothill vineyards and verdant golf courses dotted among canyons, pines and oak trees.

Giant Sequoias and Redwoods dot the Calaveras landscape located 133 miles east of San Francisco; the landscape that Mark Twain discovered and heralded in his first published short story, “The celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County”, and embraced by author Brett Hart.
