The Mountain Getaway Near Apple Hill with Private Lakes, OHV Trails, & Airstrip

Escape the noise and settle into a beautifully remodeled mountain home surrounded by two private wooded acres. Sip coffee on the oversized deck while deer and birds pass through, spend the afternoon swimming, fishing or exploring nearby lakes and trails, then return to a cozy, thoughtfully furnished home for dinner and a movie beneath the vaulted ceilings.

Located within the private Swansboro community near Placerville, the home offers a peaceful setting with recreation close at hand. Families can drive to community amenities where children can enjoy swings, slides, and basketball. Swim or relax beside one of the private community lakes, or head to nearby Finnon Lake for fishing, walking trails and a casual meal at the seasonal-weekend lakeside café.

The home is also a comfortable base for exploring Apple Hill, nearby wineries, Gold Country attractions and the surrounding forest. Fall visitors can enjoy Apple Hill’s orchards, farms and seasonal events before returning to a quiet retreat away from the crowds. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate convenient access to nearby forest roads and recreation opportunities for hiking, fishing, hunting, dirt bikes and four-wheelers.

Inside, the open great room features soaring vaulted ceilings, soft creamy designer paint tones, warm natural wood flooring and comfortable furnishings. Relax in genuine leather lounge chairs, stretch out on the spacious sofa or watch your favorite shows on the 65-inch Samsung Smart TV using your own Netflix, Prime Video or other streaming account. An oversized chair converts into a twin sleeper for an additional guest. A Pottery Barn style-dedicated desk and high-speed Wi-Fi provide a comfortable place to work remotely, study, or finally begin writing that book.

Both upstairs bedrooms include queen beds, closets, luggage racks and individually controlled mini-split heating and air conditioning. One bedroom also includes a quiet sitting and reading area, while the other room offers a small bistro table and chairs to look at nature while you enjoy a book and sip on your morning coffee.

The fully remodeled kitchen includes modern appliances, generous storage and the essentials needed for extended stays and family meals. A dining table for four overlooks the wooded surroundings, and a full-size washer and dryer make longer visits easy.

Outside, guests can enjoy the expansive deck, two wooded acres and a game of cornhole while watching for deer and listening to the birds. The property offers room to breathe without sacrificing modern comforts or reliable internet.

Whether you are planning a romantic escape, a peaceful family trip, an Apple Hill weekend, a fishing getaway or an outdoor adventure, this home provides a cozy and private place to reconnect, explore and recharge.

Please note: The home is located in a rural mountain community and is reached by scenic, winding country roads. Guests should plan ahead, arrive during daylight when possible and bring groceries and supplies so they can settle in and enjoy the retreat. Downtown Placerville is 23-35 minutes away.
