Property Description & Video
1818 Smith Flat Road, Placerville, CAVideo Tour of 1818 Smith Flat Road, Placerville, CA.
Tucked into the mountainside just minutes from historic Placerville, this property is located within the Sierra Elementary School boundary, an 8/10 rated school, and offers a truly unique setting that feels as though it was carved directly into the landscape. A year-round creek runs through the property, creating a peaceful environment where the sound of flowing water becomes part of everyday life. Recently remodeled while preserving its warm character, the home features exposed wood details, skylights throughout, and a layout that allows it to live comfortably as a single story with the primary suite on the main level. The primary bedroom includes a cozy wood burning stove and opens directly onto a large deck complete with a hot tub and fire pit, perfect for relaxing under the trees. Upstairs, an expansive open concept level offers incredible flexibility and the potential to create additional bedrooms, making the home capable of functioning as a 4 bedroom layout. The space could also lend itself to a second living area or guest quarters, ideal for multi-generational living or creative use. With just under 2,300 square feet of living space, the home offers room to spread out while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere. Surrounded by nature yet only minutes from the shops and restaurants near Hangtown Square, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Outdoor recreation, hiking trails, and easy access to Lake Tahoe make this an ideal foothill retreat. Summer temperatures here often run nearly ten degrees cooler than Sacramento making it the perfect escape from the valley heat.
