Located very near Lake of the Pines community in Auburn, CA, this gated property offers ultimate privacy and exclusivity—perfect for those seeking a luxurious retreat surrounded by nature.

Nestled between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, this estate is ideally positioned for exploring the region while enjoying a tranquil, resort-like experience. Wildlife enthusiasts will love spotting wild turkeys and mule deer as they roam the expansive front and back yards.

Despite its secluded feel, the estate is conveniently located just minutes from modern amenities, including a high-end grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, and a variety of dining options. Whether you’re planning a relaxing dinner at home or an evening out, everything you need is within easy reach.

YOUR LUXURY STAY AWAITS
Spanning over 2,800 square feet, this single-level home features an open, light-filled floor plan with vaulted ceilings, crown molding, and oversized windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors in. Thoughtful touches like hardwood floors and plush carpets ensure comfort in every season.

DIVE INTO YOUR PRIVATE RESORT EXPERIENCE
The crown jewel of this property is the breathtaking backyard oasis, designed for relaxation and adventure:
• Lagoon-Style Pool: Immerse yourself in the sparkling waters of a pool surrounded by rock formations, creating a serene, tropical atmosphere that feels like your own private resort.
• Rock Grotto Cave: Discover the hidden magic of the pool’s grotto—a unique retreat accessed through a custom 100+ year old redwood door. Inside, you’ll find one of two hot tubs, offering a peaceful escape in a truly unique setting.
• Waterfalls & Waterslide: Experience the fun of a custom hand-formed waterslide that twists through rock features, ending in the pool below. Swim beneath cascading waterfalls, adding an element of adventure and wonder to your stay.
• Outdoor Hot Tub: Soak under the stars in an outdoor, second hot tub, situated poolside with the option of a heated waterfall for an extra touch of luxury.

This pool area isn’t just a place to swim—it’s the heart of your experience. Lounge on the spacious patio with a cool drink, watch the kids enjoy the slide, or spend quiet moments listening to the gentle sound of the waterfalls. Whether it’s daytime fun or moonlit relaxation, this backyard turns your stay into an unforgettable getaway.

Hosts helped us by transferring our stay from July 2025 to April 2026 due to a death in the family. Once we got to the house we found out that the pool was not heated, even though their policy states it will be heated after March 15th. The host stated he would not heat the pool for our stay. The house temperature was 78 degrees and we wanted to turn the air conditioning on. You had to ask the host to do this and they said to open the windows. We had a pregnant woman and elderly people and needed the air conditioning on. We repeatedly asked the host if we were going to be able to use the air conditioner during our stay and they did NOT give us an answer. The host became frustrated because he had a hard day at work and then evicted us. We left the next morning because children were already asleep.
