Imagine coming home to your own private retreat, tucked behind gated privacy yet just a leisurely stroll from charming local dining and boutique shopping. This Arts & Crafts estate in the heart of the Mother Lode is an invitation to slow down and savor life's finest details. Wander through more than 3,900 square feet of thoughtfully crafted living space, where every corner tells a story: a sweeping staircase, custom stained and leaded glass, exposed wood trusses, and cabinetry handcrafted by a local artisan. Rich wood doors and windows open to peaceful woodland views and a rock-lined creek winding through the grounds, bringing nature's calm to your doorstep. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen invites culinary creativity, anchored by a striking island crowned with custom chandeliers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a four-burner gas cooktop with center griddle for effortless entertaining. Custom wood cabinetry lines the space with warmth and craftsmanship, while a nearby pantry with built-in wine fridge keeps everything organized and ready for your next gathering. Retreat to a primary suite made for unwinding, with a custom king bedroom set, a generous walk-in closet with built-in safe, and a two-sided fireplace that sets the mood for quiet evenings. Downstairs, the game room becomes your own entertainment escape, an antique bar, moody disco lighting, and a library wall with rolling ladder set the stage for unforgettable gatherings. Step outside to the raised patio and gather around the wood-burning fireplace under the stars. Beyond the main house, a beautifully renovated 480 sqft guest house welcomes visitors in their own private haven, while a spacious workshop with finished attic offers room for hobbies and creative pursuits. For the wine lover, the celebrated vineyards of Shenandoah Valley are just minutes away. Craving city energy? Sacramento is about an hour out, with the airport roughly 75-90 minutes away for easy travel. When adventure calls, Lake Tahoe's skiing, boating, and alpine trails are only a few hours from your front door, with nearby lakes perfect for hiking and horseback riding. Owned 13.78 kWh solar with battery backup and a dumbwaiter from garage to pantry round out the modern comforts, so you can focus on what matters: living well, in a home crafted with intention and character.
