Storybook Camino cottage with blooming dogwood, orchard trees, and charming homestead features near Apple Hill! Nestled among towering pines on approximately 1.17 acres, this peaceful Sierra foothill property offers privacy, character, and space to enjoy the beauty of country living. Located along scenic Pony Express Trail, the home provides walking distance to the historic Sportsman's Hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner, easy access to Apple Hill farms, local wineries, outdoor recreation, and Highway 50 for a convenient drive to Placerville, Sacramento, or Lake Tahoe. The inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers approximately 1,136 square feet of warm and welcoming living space, filled with natural light and timeless foothill charm. The kitchen includes open shelving and a pantry closet for storage, and the home features the convenience of an indoor laundry room. Comfortable living areas create a cozy retreat, while the possible third bedroom offers the perfect space for an art studio, creative room, or home office. Step outside and the property unfolds into a charming mini-homestead setting with unique outbuildings and productive land. Highlights include an adorable She Shed, wood-storage carport, storage containers for additional storage, and a chicken palace coop ready for country living. A fenced garden area offers room to grow vegetables, herbs, or flowers, while the grounds feature multiple fruit and nut trees including cherries, persimmons, walnuts, and more. One of the most remarkable features of the property is the magnificent dogwood tree beside the cottage, believed to be one of the largest in the county. Each spring, its stunning bloom attracts admirers who stop to photograph this spectacular natural centerpiece. The garage also offers potential for conversion into a second home, guest quarters, or additional living space (buyer to verify with county), creating exciting possibilities for extended living or future rental potential. Whether you're seeking an Apple Hill cottage, Sierra foothill retreat, hobby homestead, or peaceful country escape, this unique Camino property offers charm, versatility, and the beauty of foothill living.
