About this home
Some properties are houses. This one is a destination. Tucked at the end of a winding private driveway on 5 serene acres in the Sierra Nevada foothills, this extraordinary 6-bedroom, 5-bath estate offers over 5,000 square feet of living space designed for gathering, restoring, and living well. From the moment you arrive, the pace changes. Soaring ceilings, rich wood banisters, custom moldings, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create a warm and refined atmosphere. Multiple sitting rooms, a private spa room, and expansive gathering spaces provide room for both quiet retreat and memorable celebrations with family and friends. A substantial private guest suite occupies its own wing of the home and includes a separate entrance, living room with fireplace, two bedrooms, laudry room, and a full bathroom, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, extended guests, caregivers, or private work-from-home space. Outside, the grounds feel like a private sanctuary. Fountains, a zen garden, mature trees, and peaceful natural surroundings create a setting that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. The landscape evolves beautifully through the seasons, offering year-round beauty and tranquility. Located in a sought-after equestrian community with miles of riding, hiking, and biking trails, the property offers a vacation-like lifestyle while remaining close to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Enjoy access to Lake of the Pines amenities through an existing membership arrangement (details available upon request), proximity to DarkHorse Golf Club, the Bear River, historic Gold Country towns, and endless outdoor recreation. Situated below the snow line, yet within easy reach of Sacramento International Airport, the Bay Area, and Lake Tahoe. Major improvements include a newer roof, HVAC systems, and water heater, allowing the next owner to settle in and simply exhale. This is more than a home. It's a place to gather, recharge, and create lasting memories.

Lake of the Pines Ranchos, located between Lake of the Pines and Auburn, is a residential and rural Lake of the Pines neighborhood with wooded acreage and winding country lanes. The scene concentrates around the Lake of the Pines Clubhouse and main gate area, where a low-key rhythm of lake traffic, mailboxes, and community meetups sets the tone. Homes lean toward ranch-style and custom builds set back from the road, with tall pines shaping the streetscape. Daily life orbits the private lake, marinas, and shoreline paths. Lake of the Pines Golf Club and the Lake of the Pines Clubhouse function as social anchors for dining and events.
