EQUESTRIAN RETREAT

The Home: Ensconced on a secluded 42.8 acre parcel among the tall trees, this custom-built home has a decidedly rustic ambiance, yet replete with the latest up-scale amenities.  The open floor plan contains 3604 square feet on the ground floor with an expansive finished storage area above the bedroom wing.

Main access is through the double door entry from the covered patio that is set up as an outdoor room complete with a fireplace and ample room for entertaining large groups. The GREAT room features beamed cathedral ceilings, tiled and carpeted floors and a wall of glass on the eastern exposure.  The wood-burning fireplace is surrounded by an elegant sitting area. Other sections of the great room include a wet bar, gourmet kitchen and formal dining area. The guest powder room sits just off the great room.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream. The expansive island with granite counter top provides seating for at least seven and contains a food prep sink.  All appliances are stainless steal. The gourmet 48” Thermador gas stove (six burner/griddle with double ovens) is augmented by a built in microwave/ oven combo near by. A trash compactor and dishwasher are located near the main sink. The built-in refrigerator matches the custom cabinets and the pantry is conveniently located within arms reach.

The wet bar contains a sink, wine refrigerator and seating for at least five.

A broad hallway leads from the great room to the bedroom wing.  An impressive natural wood staircase leads to the finished storage room above.  Under the stairway is a sitting area, ideal for quiet conversation. 

Three spacious bedrooms share a Jack & Jill & Jane bathroom with triple sinks, a multi-head tiled shower and separate toilet. A large laundry room is located in the bedroom wing. It includes generous storage space, tiled counter tops and sink.

Double doors lead to the master suite featuring beamed, cathedral ceilings, fireplace, his and hers walk-in closets, carpeted floors in the sleeping area and tile floors in the bathroom.  There is also direct outside access.  A tiled steam-room/shower, claw-foot tub, dual level sinks with a vanity completes the picture. The office area is located just off the master suite. 

Located near the home is an 18’ X 70’ covered parking structure, room for numerous vehicles. 

Equestrian Facilities:  The equestrian facilities are located just out of sight of the home. The six- stall barn contains a tack room and there is a paddock on each side. The impressive round pen is set in front of the barn.  Parking is available for a fleet of vehicles and numerous riding trails traverse the property.

The Parcel:  This tranquil parcel is blanketed with tall trees. A year-round stream feeds the pond near the center of the parcel, passes over the dam into a waterfall, meandering across the remainder of the parcel.  The foothill location provides a natural escape from the valley heat during the summer and the noise and pollution of the city are far away.   

Although the setting offers the ultimate in seclusion, Pollock Pines and Highway 50 are only a few minutes away.  Lake Tahoe is about an hour drive and down town Sacramento about 45 minutes. The gently rolling hills are ideal for riding and offer the potential for vineyards or orchards. Possibilities are only limited by the imagination.

JUST REDUCED– HUGE REDUCTION–SELLER MOTIVATED!

This secluded get-away is conveniently located only five minutes from Highway 50 and 1.5 miles from Jenkinson Lake, just south of Pollock Pines, an ideal combination of convenience and privacy. There is paved road access all the way to the parcel. Lake Tahoe is slightly over one hour away and San Francisco is just over 2.5 hours away.

Much of the preparation is been done for a buyer planning to build their halcyon dream home. There is PG&E power to the parcel, a highly productive well in place and a perk test report available. The roughed in building pad may be used. However, a recently refurbished logging road rambles across the parcel, providing easy access to much of the property, facilitating selection of any number of building sites.

The area consists of up-scale custom-built homes set on bucolic parcels of just over four acres. Potential exists to split this parcel into three (buyers considering that option should consult El Dorado County for more definitive information).

The present owner had obtained approval to harvest timber from this parcel but never exercised that option. A buyer may be able to obtain similar approval and collect the associated income (buyers considering that option should consult the Department of Forestry for requirements).

A buyer may be able to harvest the timber, split the parcel and build on one of the divided plots. Possibilities abound!

Buyers looking to get away from the noise, traffic, crime and heat of the city or the valley may wish to consider moving to this stunning foothill location. Become a modern day Paul Bunyan!
