Nestled behind a private gated entrance, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on five park-like acres dotted with majestic oak trees and striking natural rock outcroppings. The land is beautifully cleared and meticulously maintained, offering a peaceful, private setting that feels worlds away, yet remains just 20 minutes from downtown Placerville. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the spacious deck, where expansive views stretch toward the Middle Fork of the American River and a serene three-season creek meanders below. The home is the perfect canvas for your personal touches and updates, offering solid bones and thoughtful features throughout. Recent upgrades include newer plumbing, while multiple water sources add exceptional value with a domestic well, a separate irrigation well, and a third well that is drilled and capped. Outdoors, the property shines with two versatile outbuildings ideal for storage, hobbies, or workshop space, and room for a vegetable garden and chicken coop. Additional highlights include a two-car garage plus carport, a peaceful and friendly neighborhood, and the rare benefit of backing directly to BLM land on the river sideensuring privacy and access to endless natural beauty. This is a true foothills retreat: quiet, scenic, and full of potential, ready to become your family's dream home.
