Life Feels Different Here

Tucked away in Auburn's scenic Sierra Foothills, this beautifully updated custom farmhouse offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility and peaceful natural surroundings – just minutes from town. Never before on the market, this meticulously cared-for home has been refreshed with over $125,000 in recent improvements, creating a truly move-in-ready retreat.

Surrounded by mature trees and the tranquil sounds of an adjacent year-round canal that feels like a private river, the property offers a sense of calm that's increasingly rare to find. Imagine morning coffee on the wraparound deck as mist rises off the water, evenings under the stars with family and friends in the pool-ready backyard, and quiet afternoons tending the garden or tinkering in the workshop.

The flexible floor plan is one of this property's greatest strengths, offering 4-6 possible bedrooms, an elevator, and a bonus room over the garage with a private entry; ready to serve as an in-law suite, guest quarters, ADU conversion, media room, gym, or creative studio.

The expansive primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself. Vaulted ceilings, a generous sitting area with peaceful views of the yard and canal, a massive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a jetted tub and separate shower; a true luxury retreat at the end of every day.
