The main living area centers around a wood stove and large windows that bring the outdoors inside. The kitchen offers generous counter space, ample cabinetry, and a functional design for everyday living. Large windows throughout the home provide views of the surrounding landscape and help create a strong connection to the property's natural setting. The loft-style primary suite is the upper level and includes a en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and flex space for a home office or reading area. A second bedroom and full bath on the main level provide comfortable accommodations for guests or family members. Outside, the property offers room to explore, garden, keep animals, or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings. Mature pines and oaks create a natural buffer from neighboring properties, while open areas around the home provide usable outdoor space. The detached garage and additional storage structures offer flexibility for hobbies, equipment, recreational vehicles, or workshop use. Located on Sand Ridge area of El Dorado, this property offers a country setting while remaining within reasonable driving distance of Placerville, dining, and Highway 50 OR the Shenandoah wine region. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for acreage, a second-home purchaser seeking a private, vacation getaway, or an investor interested in a distinctive property that stands out in the short-term rental market, this home presents an opportunity to own a home with character, privacy, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The combination of a gated entrance, nearly 16 acres, detached garage, and uncommon dome architecture creates a property that offers both seclusion and versatility in a scenic foothill setting.
