Welcome to a property that doesn't ask you to choose between a home, a retreat, and country living - you get all three. Set among the Placerville foothills, 3538 Wildwood Lane is a place to swim, garden, gather and spread out. The two-story main home offers a private ground-level guest suite with its own entrance and full bath, plus a two-car garage and full basement access. Upstairs, the living spaces flow into an open-concept family room, dining area and kitchen. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the primary suite features a soaking tub beneath the window, walk-in shower with waterfall-inspired stone mosaic, and attached laundry room. A detached 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage with kitchenette and mountain views creates even more possibilities for guests, extended family or separate living space. Beyond the homes, the property offers the kind of space that makes foothill living so appealing-swim, garden, grow your own food, raise chickens, or simply enjoy having room around you. A pool and outdoor shower, two greenhouses, veggie beds, a large chicken coop, irrigation, abundant fruit and nut trees, and a basic pool house are already in place. With a newer roof and owned solar as well, this is more than a home-it's a property with room to live, grow, gather, and make it your own. Enjoy the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, just 1.6 miles (approximately 3 minutes) from Highway 50, 6.4 miles (approximately 14 minutes) from historic Downtown Placerville, and within approximately 15 minutes of major shopping and services, including Costco, Home Depot, Safeway, and Raley's. A rare opportunity to enjoy serenity, nature, and the best of foothill living.
