About 1495 Miners Spring Road
Discover this peaceful Placerville mountain retreat offering privacy, self-sufficient living, and spectacular long-range views from nearly every angle. Situated on 1.5 acres, the property includes usable, gently sloped and flat areas, plus a separate pad below the home that may offer potential for an ADU or additional structure. This 1,152 sq ft single-story home is positioned to take full advantage of the scenery, with over 400 feet of decking for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. Inside you'll find 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a comfortable layout, and large dual-pane windows that frame the surrounding mountain views. A walk-out basement provides additional storage or workspace. Designed for semi off-grid living, the home operates almost entirely independent of public utilities with septic and a spring-fed water collection system that the seller relied on exclusively for 21 years and shares with a neighbor. A programmable kerosene heater(very efficient and easy to use) keeps the home cozy in winter and a swamp cooler provides summer comfort. While the decks could use some TLC, they offer incredible outdoor living space and unforgettable views. Located just a 1/4 mile to Chili Bar and the South Fork of the American River for world-class rafting and recreation, yet only 6 minutes to downtown Placerville, you truly get the best of both worlds. A detached two-car garage sits above the home, and PG&E is currently burying the power lines for improved reliability and aesthetics. Bring your vision and a few tools to transform this charming cottage into your ideal mountain escape.
