8698 Mountain Meadow Dr, Mountain Ranch, CA 95246

Welcome to Your Mountain Meadows Home! This inviting home is located in the desirable Mountain Meadows subdivision of Mountain Ranch, a historic Gold Country community. It's a peaceful retreat in a lovely neighborhood of large, private parcels featuring good, paved roads maintained with a modest $400 annual HOA fee. The home itself is a joy, featuring high ceilings with lots of windows, creating a bright and open living space. The front door opens into an inviting living room with a gorgeous varnished knotty pine ceiling and large windows onto the front patio. This flows into a central great room with flexible sitting and dining areas and the kitchen, with its granite breakfast bar and counters, high backsplash, generous pantry, and beautiful cabinetry. Next to the kitchen, there's a light and airy sunroom with flagstone walls, two skylights and lots of windows. Beyond the great room on the left is the spacious master suite with a huge walk-in closet, a recently remodeled master bath with handicap accessible tile shower, wainscotting, and crown molding, and french doors exiting to a large covered back patio with mountain views. Across the central hall is a den/office that could become a fourth bedroom if desired. Next, is the guest bath / laundry room, and at the end of the hall are two large bedrooms, one of which exits onto the previously mentioned covered back patio, the other with its own exterior door to the back yard. The office leads to the oversized two car attached garage with automatic garage door openers, tons of storage, a loft, and a workbench. Another utility room off the hallway leads to a covered and enclosed breezeway with concrete floor that houses the whole-house water softening and filtration system and offers more flexible storage or workspace. All of this is covered by a fire-resistant metal roof that was recently inspected with all recommended repairs completed. Outside, you will enjoy a large concrete apron for the garage, with easy access to the covered front patio and main entrance to the home, and a separate entrance to the sunroom. This ten-acre property has three outbuildings. Off the driveway, there's a cute one-room cabin housing a back-up generator and more storage space; next to that, a separate carport to park a tractor or boat. And in the expansive backyard, there is a nicely constructed garden or craft shed. All three outbuildings have electricity. Finally, there's a large, levelled area uphill from the house and connected to the driveway that would be perfect for a new shop or ADU. All of this, nestled in the beautiful foothills of the historic California Gold Country, is ready and waiting for you to make it home. Call, text or email to arrange for your personal showing today.
