About this home
Set in the desirable Auburn Valley community, this spacious foothill home offers over 4,400 square feet of flexible living space, beautiful rolling hill views, owned solar, and an incredible connection to the outdoors. The main level is designed for comfortable everyday living, with large windows and skylights filling the home with natural light, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, and multiple rooms opening directly to the expansive wraparound deck. At the heart of the home is a generously sized kitchen with a large center island, six-burner gas range, double ovens, walk-in pantry, abundant storage, and plenty of room to gather. Multiple living and dining spaces provide flexibility for entertaining and everyday life, while two additional office spaces make working from home easy. The primary suite features its own sitting area and direct outdoor access. Downstairs, approximately 1,100 square feet of additional living space includes a bedroom, living area, and kitchen area, creating an exciting opportunity for multigenerational living, extended guest space, or the potential for a future ADU, subject to buyer investigation and approval. Outside, the approximately .63-acre property offers room to garden, relax, and enjoy the foothill setting, while the extensive decking provides multiple places to take in the views and evening sunsets. A three-car garage provides additional storage and functionality, while the owned solar adds another valuable feature to the property. Located in Auburn Valley with a peaceful setting and an impressive amount of usable space, 8980 Upper Valley Road offers a combination of space, flexibility, and foothill living that can be hard to find.

Auburn Valley, located between the North Fork American River canyon and the I-80 corridor, is a residential and outdoor-oriented North Auburn neighborhood with river-trail access and a low-slung foothill streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Auburn Ravine Road and Lincoln Way junction, where service shops, local eateries, and everyday errands cluster in a distinctly roadside Sierra foothills rhythm. Nearby, the Auburn State Recreation Area frames the pace with trailheads, overlooks, and weekend parking lots. Housing reads as practical California ranches and newer infill on curving streets, with oaks and granite outcrops setting the palette. The Placer County Fairgrounds and Gold Country Fairgrounds anchor the local calendar with seasonal events. Old Town Auburn and the Auburn Placer County Library add a civic, walkable counterpoint a short drive away.
