About this home
Perched above the 11th fairway within Auburn's exclusive DarkHorse Golf Community, this beautifully designed residence captures sweeping golf course and lake views from nearly every room. Offering 3,198 sq ft with 3-4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home is thoughtfully designed with main-level living and a walk-out lower level that provides flexibility for guests, entertaining, or additional workspace. Refined finishes and architectural details create a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere throughout. The expansive living area features soaring ceilings, custom wood accents, and dramatic view windows that frame the surrounding landscape. The kitchen is tailored for both everyday living and entertaining with premium appliances, abundant prep space, custom cabinetry, and an oversized walk-in pantry. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat with direct balcony access overlooking the resort-style backyard, golf course, and lake beyond. Spa-inspired amenities include dual walk-in closets, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower. Additional main-level spaces include a private ensuite bedroom, guest bath, laundry room, and oversized 3-car garage. The walk-out lower level includes a third bedroom, full bath, and a flexible space allows for a media room, office, or optional fourth bedroom. An additional 843 sq ft of unfinished area offers endless possibilities for future expansion. Outdoors, the solar-heated saltwater pool and spa create a true luxury retreat surrounded by tranquil views and beautifully integrated outdoor living spaces.
Darkhorse, located between Lake of the Pines and the Bear River, is a gated and golf-course Lake of the Pines neighborhood with pine-studded fairways and curving, low-traffic lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the DarkHorse Golf Club clubhouse and first-tee corridor, where carts, patio tables, and practice greens set the daily rhythm. Architecture leans toward contemporary California builds and updated ranch-style homes, many oriented to tree lines and course views. The setting reads outdoors-first, with lake access nearby and a quiet, resort-like cadence. DarkHorse Golf Club and the Lake of the Pines Clubhouse function as the main social anchors, with Auburn’s Placer County Wine Trail adding a regional day-trip layer.
