Hidden beneath a canopy of mature oaks and heritage orange trees, this extraordinary single-story estate evokes the romance of a vintage Carmel Cottage with the scale, privacy, and versatility of a luxury property. Set on more than 3/4 acre in one of Fair Oaks' hidden enclaves, this is a rare offering where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle come together in perfect harmony. Vintage redwood board-and-batten, anchored by original slate flooring, the residence is rich with character. Beamed wood ceilings, large fireplace, and expansive windows create a warm architectural backdrop, while a thoughtful floor plan blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. Nearly every room is oriented to capture gardens, pool, and orchard views with a remarkable sense of calm and connection to nature. The main residence offers three bedrooms and three baths, including a spacious primary retreat with walk-in closet and dual baths. Formal and informal living spaces balance scale and intimacy, from the dramatic central living room with floor-to-ceiling windows to the formal dining room overlooking a hobby vineyard and orchard. Designed for elevated entertaining as well as everyday comfort, the home opens onto resort-like grounds featuring a sparkling pool, hot tub, expansive multi-level decks, and numerous seating areas integrated into the natural setting. A seasonal creek, mature landscaping, and adjoining pastures and green space create your own private retreat. The detached fully equipped guest house includes its own kitchen, bath, living area, private entrance, and parking. Ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, creative studio use, or income potential. The ADU offers rare versatility. Its private setting and expansive patio lends itself to yoga gatherings, wellness retreats, or private entertaining. Just moments from the American River Parkway, Bannister access, parks, dining, and the charm of Fair Oaks Village, the property offers the serenity of country living with the convenience of nearby amenities. A private retreat. A legacy property. A rare expression of timeless design in the heart of Fair Oaks.
