Welcome to 5990 Upper Ridge Way, a secluded foothills sanctuary nestled in a private enclave of Auburn. Here, the coveted California lifestyle finds its ideal balance: uncompromising privacy wrapped in natural beauty, yet seamlessly connected to local amenities. Sprawling across 20 acres, this estate is an invitation to breathe deeper. Whether you envision equestrian pursuits, keeping animals, storing recreational toys, or an adventure-driven homestead, this land delivers. The location is prime with its proximity to Placer Land Trust's Taylor Ranch Preserve, which will soon be joined with Hidden Falls Park, which will have approximately 60 miles of trails nearby. The nearly 3,000-square-foot, single-level residence is a statement of refined living. At its heart, a unique custom radial spoke beam ceiling vaults over the main living space, creating an atmosphere that is both grand and deeply grounding. Beyond the main home, a versatile multi-use barn that offers remarkable upside, perfectly suited as an ADU or guest retreat, or the perfect place for recreational storage. This property presents an exquisite intersection of quiet luxury and limitless potential. Rare is the estate that feels simultaneously like a refuge from the world and a boundless playground within it.
