This new construction hits. Elevated style, serious build quality, and tucked inside the gated Lake California community. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,802 sq ft — and it shows. This custom builder is all about the details. Upgrades everywhere. No shortcuts. Definitely not a flip. Built solid from the start. Extra-thick 18' footings, a 5' slab, and seven drilled piers at the hillside corner so the home sits on hardpan, not mud. Acrylic stucco exterior, retaining wall, gutter guards, and a big front porch that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. Inside feels fresh, modern, and dialed. Bold lines, great flow, and finishes that feel custom without trying too hard. Quartz countertops. Custom LVP flooring. A spa-style primary bath with tile shower, stand-alone soaking tub, walk-in closet, plus a wider-than-standard spare bath/shower. Clean choices. Nothing generic. The garage is legit. 22 feet deep with a side-mount LiftMaster garage door motor, attic ladder, and added insulation along garage and bathroom walls. Plus gated boat and RV parking — bring your toys. Energy efficiency was clearly part of the plan. Solar paired with top-of-the-line Milgard windows helps keep the home comfortable year-round and electric bills down. Heat pump water heater. EV-ready (just add the plug). A 120-gallon propane tank services the stove/oven and optional dryer. Easy living. Smart build. Life in Lake California is what seals the deal. Gated, active, and genuinely fun. Private lake access, Sacramento River access with a community boat launch, a community pool, playground, tennis and pickleball courts, disc golf, walking trails, an equestrian center — bring your horse — RV campground, clubhouse, and even a private airstrip. Fish one of the area's top salmon holes just 10 minutes from the launch, kayak or paddleboard the lake, let the kids ride bikes, then wrap the day at the Lake Club with a meal, a cocktail or a glass of wine as the sun sets over the water. This is modern living with real lifestyle built in. Come see it, feel it, and picture yourself here.
