Hilltop Retreat – Wine Country with Ski Resort Access

Escape to this stunning modern 2-bedroom home on 25 secluded acres in California's scenic Sierra foothills. Perfect for romantic getaways, honeymoons, or peaceful family retreats in Amador County wine country with easy day trips to multiple ski resorts.

THE SPACE
This contemporary hilltop retreat features open-concept design with floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic mountain views. The bright, airy interior showcases clean architectural lines and modern finishes throughout. Relax in the spacious living area where comfort meets style, cook in the fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for memorable meals, and unwind in thoughtfully designed bedrooms that invite restful sleep.

Step outside to your private patio and watch sunsets paint the rolling hills in golden light. As darkness falls, the sky transforms into a spectacular canvas of stars—some of the clearest night skies you'll find this close to civilization. Your dogs will love the freedom to roam and explore across the fully fenced 25-acre property, a rare luxury that most vacation rentals simply can't offer.

SEASONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Fall: Experience wine country at its most beautiful during harvest season. The changing leaves, crisp air, and bustling tasting rooms create an unforgettable autumn escape. This is peak season for wine enthusiasts.

Winter: Cozy up by the fireplace after a day on the slopes at Kirkwood. The property becomes a peaceful winter wonderland, perfect for sipping local wines while watching occasional snow dust the distant peaks. Warm interiors provide the perfect contrast to crisp mountain air.

Spring: Witness the hills explode with wildflowers and vibrant green grasses. The moderate temperatures make this ideal for hiking, wine tasting, and exploring nearby historic Gold Rush towns. Watch wildlife emerge as nature awakens around you.

Summer: Escape the valley heat to cool Sierra foothill breezes. Long summer evenings are perfect for outdoor dining on the deck, stargazing, and exploring the region's many outdoor attractions. Morning fog often creates mystical valley views.

IDEAL LOCATION
Positioned in the heart of Amador County's renowned Shenandoah Valley wine region, you're minutes from dozens of boutique wineries known for bold Zinfandels, elegant Barberas, and other exceptional varietals. The intimate, uncrowded tasting rooms here offer a refreshing alternative to Napa's commercialization—with winemakers often pouring the wines themselves.

Wine Country Access:
- 5-15 minutes to Shenandoah Valley wineries
Close to acclaimed wineries like Terre Rouge, Helwig, and Shenandoah Vineyards
- Minutes to historic Plymouth and charming Amador City
- Easy access to farm-to-table restaurants and local provisions

Mountain Adventures:
- Just over 1 hour to Kirkwood Mountain Resort for world-class skiing and snowboarding
- 2 hours to Bear Valley and Dodge Ridge ski resorts
- Summer access to Kirkwood for hiking, mountain biking, and stunning alpine scenery
- Explore nearby lakes, hiking trails, and Gold Rush history

Urban Convenience:
- 1.5 hours from Sacramento
- 2.5 hours from San Francisco Bay Area
- Easy drive from Stockton, Modesto, and Central Valley cities
- More affordable and accessible than Tahoe while offering similar mountain proximity

PERFECT FOR
- Romantic Escapes: Couples seeking privacy, stunning views, and the perfect blend of wine country romance and outdoor adventure. Celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons, or simply reconnect away from daily distractions.

- Family Getaways: Small families or friend groups (sleeps 4-6) wanting space to spread out, quality time together, and activities for all ages. The fenced property means kids and dogs can play safely.

- Remote Work Retreats: Digital nomads and remote workers will appreciate reliable WiFi, inspiring mountain views from your workspace, and the mental clarity that comes from nature immersion. Take walking meetings across your private acreage.
Special Celebrations: Mark life's milestones in a memorable setting. The combination of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty creates the perfect backdrop for proposals, anniversaries, or intimate celebrations.

- Pet-Friendly Paradise: Dog owners rejoice—your furry friends can experience true off-leash freedom across 25 fenced acres. Watch them rediscover their wild side while you relax knowing they're safe and happy.

- Wine Enthusiasts: Serious wine lovers and casual sippers alike will appreciate being at the epicenter of Amador's wine country, with the flexibility to taste during the day and retreat to your private sanctuary each evening.

THE EXPERIENCE
What sets this property apart is the rare combination of complete seclusion with convenient access to both world-class wine tasting and mountain recreation. You're not choosing between wine country or ski resorts—you can have both. Start your morning with coffee on the deck watching deer graze in the distance, spend your afternoon tasting wines or skiing fresh powder, and end your evening stargazing from the deck.

Unlike crowded Tahoe rentals or expensive Napa estates, this retreat offers exceptional value without sacrificing luxury or location. You'll enjoy the peace of true privacy, the beauty of unspoiled nature, and the convenience of being within easy reach of everything that makes this region special.

Experience luxury meets nature in this unforgettable wine country escape. Enjoy world-class wine tasting with the flexibility of mountain adventures—all without Tahoe prices or crowds.
