About Gold Run, CA – A Historic Foothill Gem

Gold Run (ZIP 95717) is a small, unincorporated community in Placer County, California, nestled along the I-80 corridor in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills. Once a bustling Gold Rush hydraulic mining site in the 1800s, Gold Run today is a peaceful rural area with a tight-knit population of approximately 250–300 residents who value privacy, open space, and mountain living. Surrounded by towering pines and dramatic canyons, properties here often require specialized excavation and clearing services to manage steep slopes, heavy brush, and wildfire fuel loads. The area’s proximity to Auburn (25 minutes), Colfax (15 minutes), and Tahoe National Forest makes it ideal for custom homes, ranches, and recreational land development.
