5020 Owls Nest Rd

Shingle Springs, CA 95682

This home is located at the top of one of the many hills in the area, and has beautiful changing views of the valley filled with mostly oak and manzanita trees that can be seen from inside and out on the deck. The sun and HUGE moon rises are often viewed from the kitchen, living room, upstairs landing, bedrooms, and of course, the deck. The everchanging colors of the terrain (mostly trees), the seasonal clouds and rolling fog that ccasionally comes in from below and across the valley, the rare snowfall, the deer, turkey, owls, and hawks (that fly-by sometimes within several feet of the deck) all add to the serene beauty and peace that you can find living in this home. The home is located far enough away that you often hear nothing. Neighboring houses can be seen and are not far away, yet far enough away that it makes living here enviable for many. The property is walkable and ATV rideable. With a little fence work, horses, cows, sheep, or other livestock could be kept in. Great-tasting well water with a whole house water filter eliminates the cost of city or store-bought water, as does your own sewer and septic tank. The property has lots of citrus and fruit trees and small garden areas within an enclosed fence area that keep the deer out. Also, there are four bedrooms, three of which are fairly large and could potentially accommodate up to 6 people in each room; and the fourth bedroom is roomy and could accommodate at least up to 4. The main living area is on the ground level on the front side of the house (south side) and the back side is considered the second level; the 1500 SF deck is just outside the kitchen and is located on the north side of the house and overlooks the valley. This home has a great open floor plan with lots of room (and rooms). With an office, two living areas, one bedroom and bathroom, dining area and kitchen all on the main level, the house could accommodate up to 20-25 people (plus a lot more if outside is considered) for entertainment; yet, it is cozy enough to want stay in and enjoy the wood-burning stove and a movie in your living room with the built in home theater set-up. Or, sitting on the deck or in the hot tub and star gazing is always an option, as is playing pool in the game room downstairs (pool table could stay), or turning one of the living room areas into a video game room-there's plenty enough room for several people in nearly every room in the house. So many options. Such a fine and beautiful place to live. It's only about a 15 minute drive to El Dorado Hills Town Center, 20 to Redhawk Casino, 25 to Placerville, 1.25-1.5 hours to South Lake Tahoe, 40-45 minutes to Sacramento, 45 minutes to Old Roseville, and 50 minutes to Sac Int'l Airport. It just seems like a long drive, but not much longer than it takes to get around and in and out of the Sacramento region. But from out here, there's a lot of beauty that can be enjoyed along the way. This is all-around, a GREAT place to live...peacefully and freely.
