When buyers tell me they're looking for a home in Winchester Country Club, one request comes up again and again:
"We'd really like a newer single-story home."
It sounds like a simple request, but it's actually one of the hardest combinations to find within the community.
If you've been following the market for Winchester Country Club homes for sale, you've probably noticed that many of the available homes were custom built years ago, while many of the newest homes feature multi-level floor plans. Winchester remains one of the premier luxury communities in Meadow Vista, offering larger homesites, mature trees, and a peaceful foothill setting while remaining within an easy drive of Auburn, Roseville, and Sacramento.
A Rare Opportunity
My newest listing at 1520 Ridgemore Drive is a great example of why this combination is so special.
Built in 2020, it offers all the advantages of newer custom construction while providing the convenience of true single-story living.
That combination has become increasingly uncommon in Winchester.
Why?
Much of it comes down to the land.
As many of the remaining custom homesites have been developed over the past several years, builders have often been working with steeper terrain or more restrictive building envelopes.
To maximize square footage on those lots, many newer homes have been designed with a second story, a walk-out lower level, or both.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with those homes—they're beautiful and often take full advantage of the surrounding views.
But for buyers who specifically want the convenience of one-level living, the choices become much more limited.
If you're specifically searching for single-story homes in Placer County, you'll quickly notice just how uncommon newer custom homes like this have become.
More Than Just a Single Story
Of course, this home offers much more than a one-level floor plan.
It features three private ensuite bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a large flex room with exterior access that could serve as a media room, game room, home gym, guest retreat, or future pool room.
The kitchen opens to the family room and backyard, creating a comfortable space for everyday living as well as entertaining.
Outdoor Living That Feels Like an Extension of the Home
One of my favorite features of this property is how seamlessly the indoor and outdoor living spaces come together.
The beautifully landscaped 1.8-acre lot provides a wonderful balance of privacy, usable outdoor space, and low-maintenance enjoyment. The approximately 690-square-foot covered patio, built-in BBQ, fire pit, and hot tub create an outdoor living area that's just as inviting as the inside of the home.
Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting friends and family, this is a space you'll appreciate throughout the year.
A Garage That's Hard to Find
Another standout feature is the approximately 1,390-square-foot finished garage.
Whether you enjoy working on cars, need room for a golf cart, want space for hobbies, or simply appreciate extra storage, this garage offers flexibility that's difficult to find—even among luxury homes.
Living in Winchester Country Club
Beyond the home itself, Winchester Country Club offers a lifestyle that attracts buyers from throughout Northern California.
Residents enjoy a gated community filled with custom homes, generous homesites, mature oak trees, and a peaceful Sierra Foothill setting just minutes from Auburn.
The HOA includes access to the community clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce courts, and other recreational amenities. For those who enjoy golf, dining, and social events, optional memberships to the country club are also available.
