Wake up to the sound of songbirds and the golden light spilling over distant mountains. Set at the top of a gently rising hill on a private drive off the main road, this over 8-acre gated retreat offers the kind of rural privacy that's increasingly rare with views that stretch from rolling foothills to the skyline of downtown Sacramento. Whether you're riding the trails just across the street, tending your orchard of over a dozen fruit trees, or simply taking in the sunset from the oversized deck, this is a property designed for those who crave space, serenity, and a connection to the land. Equestrian amenities include two corrals, a barn, separate tack room, and cross-fenced pastures-perfect for your horses or hobby farm dreams. There's room to roam and work, thanks to a wraparound driveway, a two-car garage, and a separate carport with workshop. Inside, the home is warm and spacious with soaring cathedral ceilings in the living room and primary suite. Gather by the fireplace, cool off with the whole house fan, or welcome guests to their own retreat with a private view deck and Jack & Jill bath. And though it feels a world away, you're just minutes from neighborhood conveniences. This isn't just a home, it's a lifestyle. A place to live freely, entertain naturally and exhale!
