Set on more than 45 acres along the historic Golden Chain Highway in the El Dorado foothills, this private home offers space, views and an impressive collection of features designed to enjoy the land. Wide, solar-powered double gates open to a paved driveway that winds through the property. The home is set along the hillside among heritage oaks, redwoods, pines and sequoias. Beautiful wood entry doors open into a warm and inviting living room with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning stove. The primary suite with large walk-in closet opens to its own balcony and swing, a relaxing place to take in the scenery and catch sight of an eagle soaring overhead. Outside is where this property really comes to life. The back patio is made for gathering, with a hot tub and outdoor solar shower, where you can gaze at the starry night sky. Steps descend down to a custom iron gate which leads into a terraced garden filled with apples, pears, pluots, cherries, table grapes and irises, along with a productive vegetable garden. For added convenience, an underground irrigation system serves both the yard and garden. A greenhouse and chicken coop speak to the property's country lifestyle, while a spring-fed koi pond offers another tranquil spot. A large carport alongside the house, pull thru garage, shed with a mini-split and center-raised barn with electricity provide abundant storage and flexible space for a home gym, sports equipment, projects and hobbies. There is plenty of parking for trailers and RVs. Trails and seasonal ponds throughout the property create opportunities for hiking and UTV recreation, while a rock-climbing structure with its own platform adds an unexpected element of adventure. A 35 GPM well, storage tank, two electric meters, central air and heat, on-demand water heater and Tesla battery backup provide valuable utility. Come home and settle in among birdsong and changing seasons, with the North Fork Cosumnes River nearby and an easy, scenic commute from Sacramento.
