Discover this peaceful Placerville mountain retreat offering privacy, self-sufficient living, and spectacular long-range views from nearly every angle. Situated on 1.5 acres, the property includes usable, gently sloped and flat areas, plus a separate pad below the home that may offer potential for an ADU or additional structure. This 1, 152 sq ft single-story home is positioned to take full advantage of the scenery, with over 400 feet of decking for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. Inside you'll find 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a comfortable layout, and large dual-pane windows that frame the surrounding mountain views. A walk-out basement provides additional storage or workspace. Designed for semi off-grid living, the home operates almost entirely independent of public utilities with septic and a spring-fed water collection system that the seller relied on exclusively for 21 years and shares with a neighbor. A kerosene heater keeps the home cozy in winter and a swamp cooler provides summer comfort. While the decks could use some TLC, they offer incredible outdoor living space and unforgettable views. Located just mile to Chili Bar and the South Fork of the American River for world-class rafting and recreation, yet only 6 minutes to downtown Placerville, you truly get the best of both worlds. A detached two-car garage sits above the home, and PG&E is currently burying the power lines for improved reliability and aesthetics. Bring your vision and a few tools to transform this charming cottage into your ideal mountain escape.
