6200 Nine Oaks Rd, Valley Springs, CA 95252

This rental is furnished and includes water and wi-fi. Our home is on five acres, surrounded by cattle ranches, rolling hills of green or amber, and other idyllic rural scenes. Being up on a small incline, the highlight of the property may be the view of the ranchland below, framed by distant hills. On a clear night, the lights of Stockton and Sacramento dot the horizon, and on a very clear day, Mt Diablo is visible, standing at attention in the distance. The outdoors - where often the only sounds one hears are the singing of birds and the lowing of cows - is a major feature of this property, and with that in mind, there are numerous sitting areas to take it all in. The deck overlooking the pastures beneath is a favorite spot, as there's almost always a refreshing breeze wafting up from the hillside below. The inside is just as inviting, and certainly more cozy. The well-appointed kitchen has a large center island with seating, and the dining area boasts more views of the scenery filtering through the oaks. The sunken living room is right off the kitchen and features a large sectional and big screen TV, as well as a gas fireplace for those chillier nights. And finally, the living area extends into a large sunroom over a spacious deck, highlighted by a hot tub from which to take in the views. Technically, there are two bedrooms with attached baths. There's a large bonus room off the master bedroom that is currently set up as a third bedroom. This could work as a nursery, or be a lounge area off the bedroom, or a den or hobby room. The house also has a laundry room with a half bath. In addition to all this, the property features three outbuildings. One is right off the backyard, and it's a small room that is currently empty but has been remodeled with intentions of making it a home gym. It would work well for yoga or painting, arts & crafts, etc. The other two are currently set up as bed and bath quarters, which could be a place for visiting family to stay. There are three lakes and a river just minutes away. The Mokelumne River can be accessed by a country road near the house, and it leads to a bridge from which there are often fishermen casting their lines. There are hiking trails along the river, plus the Mokelumne section of California's Coast to Crest trail. For lakes, the most immediate three include Camanche Reservoir, Pardee Dam, and Hogan Lake, in addition to a number of others within an hour. For restaurants, grocery stores, and other needs, this house is 12 minutes away from Valley Springs, 14 minutes from San Andreas, and 16 minutes from Jackson. Water is included. Wi-Fi is also included but renter may want to subscribe to a faster service. Renter pays for electricity and gas. No smoking of any substance is allowed. No illegal drug use. A small pet or two are negotiable for additional rent.
