El Dorado Hills, California
Welcome to my weblog! The Hills I refer to here are the foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. My inspiration for this blog came as a result of my Real Estate profession where touring homes and knowing the inventory are some of the best parts of my job. Though my predominant intention here is to tell you about the homes for sale that have wow’d me, I also want to include what I consider to be among “other bests” of living in this wonderful area. You can search by categories, by clicking on the links below, or click on a tag word under one of my postings for more blogs about that subject. The prices shown on each blog is as of the date written. I'll try and update them when time allows. Please keep in mind that sometimes the pictures don't do a home justice, but they are what the listing agent has submitted to the MLS and what I have to work with. For more pictures or information on any of these postings or for help in locating similar homes available in our area, please contact me by clicking on the “Email Me” link below. Be sure and check out My Favorite Links for more helpful sites. Blog postings with * following the name indicate that the home has been sold and is no longer available.

Powfoot Way, El Dorado Hills, CA - This charming Serrano single story may have been built by John Laing Homes as a semi-custom but has superb amenities and upgrades that make it stand out. Throw in the fabulous views and it easily fits into my best find category. The 3200 square foot, Mediterranean home sits on a slightly raised lot overlooking the 18th fairway of Serrano Country Club with views of not only the golf course but Folsom Lake and the Sacramento Valley beyond it. A few of the amenities include a custom built casita, a loggia with a fireplace off the back where you can enjoy your views year-round, spacious rooms, a gated courtyard entrance, and a beautiful kitchen with granite counters and maple cabinets. The neighborhood is gated, typical of all of the Serrano Villages, but this particular village is one of my favorites. Listed at $869,900. Please call or email me for more information on this wonderful home.

El Dorado Hills, CA - If you are familiar with the area, you may have noticed that I have not included any of the beautiful custom homes inside the gates surrounding the Serrano Golf Course. However, if you are unfamiliar with the area, you may not understand why I would even bring this up, so I'll begin by giving you a little overview. Serrano is a very prestigious master-planned community and is considered one of the largest in Northern California. It encompasses 3500 acres and is approved for 6500 homes. There are several gated neighborhoods each with its own character and style, along with homes of varying prices and sizes currently starting at $424,000.
On the highest point of those 3500 acres rests what is often referred to as "Upper Serrano". Here is where you find the custom homes built on sites ranging from 1/3 acre to over an acre. Here is where you also find the championship golf course and Serrano's beautiful country club. Sales on these lots began in 1995, in 1997 it was a "Street of Dreams" location as part of the nation's premiere luxury home tour. Would you think there would be some "best finds" or "best views" in Upper Serrano? Trouble is that the homes in this neighborhood "wow" me on a regular basis. There are so many stunning and amazing homes for sale here, I have a hard time singling them out. Some have beautiful views of Folsom Lake and the Sacramento Valley below, some have views of the golf course, and others have a view of century old oak trees surrounded by beautiful landscapes. Right now the highest priced home is listed for $3,395,000. There are still several lots for sale as well. If this is an area you are interested in please call or email me as I would be happy to send you information on homes that meet your criteria within this community.
