New Custom Home with Panoramic Mountain & Valley Views Near Folsom Lake
Welcome to your private retreat in El Dorado Hills—a newly built custom home completed in 2024, featuring panoramic mountain and valley views, a beautiful modern interior, and a peaceful setting near Folsom Lake.
This 2,044-square-foot split-level home was designed to take full advantage of its hillside location and incredible views. The main living spaces are located on the upper level, where oversized windows and a large sliding glass door fill the home with natural light and showcase sweeping views across the surrounding valley and mountains.
The open upper level includes the living room, dining area, and luxury kitchen, with a double-sided see-through gas fireplace separating the living and dining spaces. It's a wonderful place to gather in the evening, enjoy a meal together, or simply relax by the fire while taking in the scenery.
Step through the sliding glass door onto the private upper-level balcony, where several guests can comfortably step outside, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the expansive mountain and valley views.
At the heart of the home is a spacious custom kitchen featuring a six-burner Bosch gas range, oversized quartz island with bar seating, drawer microwave, and plenty of room for cooking and gathering. Whether you're preparing breakfast before heading to the lake or enjoying dinner at home, the open kitchen keeps everyone connected to the living and dining areas.
The home's split-level design provides separation between the gathering and sleeping spaces. The entry level includes a dedicated office and convenient half bath. Downstairs you'll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, offering a quieter space to relax at the end of the day. Sleeping accommodations include two queen beds and a comfortable queen bunk bed, making the home well suited for families and groups.
Both full bathrooms feature beautifully tiled showers with rainfall showerheads and handheld wands. A tankless water heater provides continuous hot water, and the primary bathroom also includes a separate soaking tub for relaxing after a day of exploring.
For nights at home, the upstairs living room features a 65-inch Samsung QLED TV with complimentary Netflix, and the primary bedroom has an additional wall-mounted TV. Built-in ceiling speakers in the living and dining areas connect via Bluetooth, allowing you to enjoy your own music throughout the main living space.
Despite its peaceful hillside setting, the home is conveniently located near everyday essentials and some of Northern California's best outdoor destinations. Folsom Lake is within walking distance, while a Safeway shopping center is approximately five minutes away. South Lake Tahoe and its nearby ski resorts can be reached in less than approximately 1.5 hours, making day trips to the mountains easy.
Spend the morning enjoying coffee and the views from the upper level, explore Folsom Lake during the day, head into the Sierra foothills or Tahoe for an adventure, and return home to relax by the fireplace as the sun sets over the valley.
The property is fully permitted for short-term rental use by El Dorado County (Permit #082189).
Please note: The property does not currently include backyard access. Guests have access to the upper-level balcony, which offers beautiful mountain and valley views.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Cagle
Hi! My name is Chris and my wife's name is Angie - here's the short story of the house.
I purchased the lot back in 2020 because my Dad had built several houses over his lifetime and I always wanted to build one myself. After the purchase, my Dad and I went back and forth brainstorming ideas and he finally drew me some rough plans. I then had them locally altered a bit and engineered, and started applying for permits back in 2021 / 2022 (it can be an extended process :) ). We began construction in 2022 and finished in 2024. I used local contractors for things like the foundation and framing that had already worked on large custom homes in the area. We did a lot of the work on the inside ourselves, including hanging and putting together all the kitchen cabinets and other things. Overall it was a long complex project, but we hope you liked you it turned out. We lived in the house temporarily, however due to work we ended up moving to San Jose and are now renting out the house short term.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood caught my eye because it was peaceful and had a rural feel but was only about a 15 minute drive from most major shopping (like Folsom Costco, the Palladio in Folsom, etc.). Also, the house is basically right next to the lake - you can walk to the lake in maybe 10 minutes, and bike there is about 4-5 minutes. The slope of the lot and the views I knew we'd get also got me interested.
What makes this property unique
I think there are several things that make this property both unique and probably stand out against other rentals - first, this is not a tract or builder grade house - it's a one of a kind custom designed home. Second, and since we are on a steep slope, you really get incredible views out of the back of the house in my opinion - the sunrises are great, and standing out on the balcony on starry nights is awesome. Further, we chose a more contemporary / modern design and felt like we kept that theme throughout the house. The home square footage is not huge compared to other custom houses (at just over 2K vs. some 3K or 4K) but we tried to make the space feel large with high ceilings everywhere we could, 3 bedrooms plus an office, and keeping the entire upper room pretty open so you can talk in the kitchen or converse with people in the living or dining rooms.
