THERE ARE GATED COMMUNITIES, and then there is SERRANO. Set in El Dorado Hills, this is the community buyers point to when they want elevated living, championship golf, lake-country views, and a private secure country club in their backyard. This oversized .88-acre homesite sits on the custom, luxury, north side of Serrano, perfectly positioned on one of the community's most coveted premier streets, where only a rare handful of homesites remain. PRELIMINARY SERRANO APPROVED BUILDING PLANS are included with the sale, so you can leapfrog the lengthy planning process and build a brand-new luxury home in the guard-gated Serrano Golf and Country Club. That is what makes this a premium purchasenot raw dirt, but a head start inside El Dorado Hills' premier community. This premier lot is located in the custom and semi-custom side: meaning larger lots, higher elevations, oak-studded streets, and the homes that carry the $1.7 million to $4 million conversation. Same master Serrano plan. Same gates. A very different address. The crown jewel is Serrano Country Club. The championship course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., with rolling terrain and natural features that feel like the foothills, not a flattened fairway. Members are not loading clubs in a car and driving across town. In the custom villages, the golf cart leaves the garage and goes to the first tee. That is the lifestyle the premium is paying for. Just a short cart ride away, private membership opens championship golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, a resort-style pool and spa, and clubhouse dining with views. Serrano is more than golf. The community is stitched together with roughly 1,000 acres of open space and about 17 miles of scenic hiking and biking trails through oaks, creeks, parks and greenbelts. Serrano is for the buyer who wants the gate/security, the course, the trail system, and a home that still feels like a neighborhood with the best schools. Once you walk from your garage to the first tee, you understand why this remains El Dorado Hills' top golf communityand why Serrano epitomizes the amazing lifestyle everybody wants. If you are weighing Serrano against other El Dorado Hills or Folsom addresses, start here: a rare premier-street homesite, with Serrano approved preliminary plans in hand, on the custom side of the gates. WELCOME HOME!

3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 2,310 SqFt. ⋅ 226114036 MLS

Some properties are simply homes. Others offer a way of life. Tucked beneath a canopy of majestic oaks on ten private acres, this beautifully renovated historic farmhouse is a place where mornings begin overlooking the vines, gardens fill the table, and evenings end with a bottle pulled from your own cellar. Nearly six acres of producing, dry farmed vineyard planted with Merlot, Tempranillo, and Mourvedre sweep across the landscape, creating the unmistakable romance of California wine country. Perhaps most captivating is the rare root cellar, an extraordinary connection to the property's past and a natural companion to the vineyard. Cool, authentic, and full of possibility, it invites visions of aging wine, storing the harvest, or creating an intimate tasting experience just steps from home. Life here follows the land. Wander through a fully irrigated 3,000 square foot vegetable garden, gather fruit from mature trees, pass fragrant rose gardens, or follow the seasonal creek toward a tranquil pond. Covered front and rear porches and a travertine patio frame views across the vineyard and rolling oak studded hills, setting the stage for morning coffee, long dinners under the stars, and wine at sunset. Inside, nearly a century of character has been thoughtfully reimagined through an extensive five year renovation. A dramatic river rock fireplace with wood burning stove anchors the great room, while the beautifully appointed kitchen blends farmhouse warmth with a built in Wolf gas cooktop, custom cedar hood, granite countertops, farmhouse sink, and impressive walk in butler's pantry with glass French doors. Plantation shutters, crown molding, luxury plank flooring, abundant natural light, and carefully selected finishes bring warmth and refinement throughout. Main level primary suite opens directly outdoors and offers a spa inspired bath with freestanding soaking tub and porcelain tiled walk in shower with dual rain heads. A poultry barn, forest style horse stable, equipment shop, owned 9 kilowatt solar system, RV parking possibilities, expansive usable acreage, and room for a future ADU complete this remarkable offering. Less than ten minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, it feels remarkably removed from the world beyond. Vineyard, homestead, equestrian retreat, or private country estate, this is a rare opportunity to cultivate something of your own and live a California country lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.
