Significant price reduction - motivated to sell! Set atop a hill on a private drive, this over 8-acre gated retreat offers rare privacy and sweeping views from the foothills to downtown Sacramento. While the approach is along a rough gravel road, the reward is total peace, space, and stunning scenery, feeling miles away, yet close to Hwy 50 and shopping. Whether you're enjoying nearby riding trails, tending your fruit orchard, or viewing sunsets from the expansive deck, this property embodies the best of foothill living. Equestrian amenities include two corrals, a barn, tack room, and cross-fenced pastures, ideal for horses or a hobby farm. A wraparound driveway, two-car garage, and carport with workshop offer functionality and storage. Inside, cathedral ceilings, 2 cozy fireplaces, and abundant natural light create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The spacious primary suite and private guest area with view deck and Jack & Jill bath offer comfort for everyone. Though it feels a world away, it's just minutes from local conveniences and just a short drive to Tahoe and ski resorts. Plus, it's ready for a future guest house/ADU with its own gated entrance and fenced yard. Now offered at a compelling new price, this home delivers exceptional value for those seeking space, serenity, and a true connection to the land.
