Ione is a small western Amador County town in the rolling oak country below the Gold Rush foothills, watched over by the landmark Preston Castle. We help Ione buyers and homeowners with FHA, VA, USDA, conventional and golf-community financing. A home loan in Ione should fit the property, the budget and the timeline, not the other way around. Our loan officers start by understanding what you are trying to accomplish, then build a financing plan that gets your offer accepted and keeps the monthly payment where you want it.

Ione is one of the most affordable places to buy in Amador County, which brings in first-time buyers, state and public-safety employees and retirees who want quiet streets within an hour of Sacramento and Stockton. The Castle Oaks golf community adds newer homes with HOA dues to account for, while ranch properties toward Jackson Valley and Lake Camanche call for rural appraisal experience. Conventional loans in Ione start at 3 percent down for qualified buyers, FHA allows 3.5 percent down with more flexible credit, VA offers zero down for eligible veterans and service members, and jumbo loans cover purchases above the conforming loan limit for Amador County. We walk you through each option with real payment figures.
Get Pre-approved
Housing includes older homes around the historic Main Street, 1990s-to-new homes in and around the Castle Oaks golf community, and ranches and acreage along Highway 104, Jackson Valley Road and the roads toward Camanche. Because we are based in Gold River, Ione buyers can lean on us for local knowledge along with financing: which escrow companies close on time, how county loan limits affect the structure, and what sellers and listing agents in this market expect to see in a pre-approval.
First-time buyers in Ione may also qualify for down payment assistance through CalHFA and local programs, which can be layered with FHA or conventional financing to reduce cash to close. We check eligibility for every first-time buyer we work with.
Pacific National Lending serves Castle Oaks, Downtown Ione, Preston Castle area, Highway 104 corridor and the rest of Ione for home loans. Ione is about forty-five minutes from our Gold River office via Jackson Highway and Highway 104.
