Tucked into the heart of the Sierra foothills, this custom-built home offers the perfect balance of seclusion, comfort, and natural beauty ideal for full-time living or as a weekend retreat. For local buyers, it’s a chance to live closer to nature without sacrificing convenience. For second-home seekers, it’s a private escape that feels worlds away, yet still within easy reach of the Bay Area or Sacramento and close to world class skiing at Kirkwood or Bear Valley. And all the furnishings and appliances are included for a turnkey, move in ready solution. Set on 22.5 forested acres, the 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is perched above the South Fork of the Mokelumne River, with nearly 900 feet of private river frontage winding through your land. From the moment you enter the property, you’ll follow the river’s path complete with private swimming holes and shaded groves before arriving at your secluded hideaway in the woods. The spacious deck is the perfect perch to take in the natural surroundings; watch deer graze at dawn, turkeys strut by midday, and hawks circle above as the sun sets behind the trees. This is foothill living at its best. There’s room to expand and customize: RV hookups, potential for an ADU or shop, and zoning that allows horses or livestock if your dream includes a hobby farm or equestrian setup. Whether you’re a Calaveras County local ready to upgrade your weekend lifestyle, or a second-home buyer dreaming of a private riverside retreat within easy reach of major metros, this property checks every box and then some! Homes with this level of river access, privacy, and acreage rarely come available. Don’t miss the opportunity to make it yours!
