This is a stunningly beautiful 40 acre nature retreat. This secluded getaway is an ideal place for relaxing, hiking, swimming and chilling out. The property has private nature trails, a private beach on a calm river, and a historic goldmine. Along the river is a hundred year old trail, build by Chinese miners leading to a meditation/yoga platform with commanding views of the river, a wonderful place to relax and reflect. It's a 10 minute walk downhill to the river, beach and chinese trails.
The house has stunning views over the river and the tree covered hills giving you a feel of the wine country. Next to the house is a large wooden deck under a majestic oak tree - cool in the summer, great for entertaining or relaxing with a glass of wine. The house has views all around that can be enjoyed from 3 decks, a hot tub and a small vegetable garden.
This property is a unique place for nature lovers that want to be close to unspoiled forest and the beauty of the last un-dammed river in northern California. The house is modern, with contemporary furniture, comfortable and kid friendly. Property has steep trails and is not suitable for young children.
A 15 minute drive to historic Placerville or to Fair Play / Somerset wine country. Nearby rafting on the American River. In winter, 50 min drive to skiing, Sierra Tahoe and South Tahoe area.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Placerville
We fell in love with the quiet and gentleness of the land. The river and the valley are a nature lovers paradise. The property borders on 300 acres of protected land and it gives us a sense of being far away. We like the combination of valley, rolling hills, oak trees and river. We chose to buy this place for us and our kids and to get away from the busy city life and reconnect with undisturbed nature and meet wildlife such as deer, fox, eagle, turkeys and rabbits.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Hiking on the trails, playing and swimming in the river, relaxing at the house. We never want to leave when we are there, despite the amazing nature all around the gold country area and fun towns such as Placerville and Fairplay.
