Where the Equestrian Trails Run Long and the Land Runs Free The true spirit of Northern California country, community, and connection. Set inside the gated Auburn Lake Trails community in El Dorado County, right on the edge of Placer County and Auburn, this property sits in one of the most scenic and adventure rich areas around. Just 15 minutes to Auburn and 30 minutes to El Dorado Hills and Folsom Lake, you'll find yourself surrounded by rolling hills, endless trails, and the kind of quiet that only country living can offer. It's close enough to everything, yet far enough away to feel like your own private slice of Northern California paradise. Between Auburn Lake Trails and Auburn lies the American River, a natural playground for anyone who loves the outdoors. The area is filled with hiking and mountain biking trails, spots for paddleboarding, kayaking, and river floats, and quiet beaches where you can unwind beneath the oaks. When winter hits, both North and South Lake Tahoe are only about an hour and a half away, making ski trips, lake days, and mountain adventures an easy escape. This region is also home to some of Northern California's most inviting destinations, local wineries, foothill farm stands, and the seasonal charm of Apple Hill, where visitors come from far and near to experience small town flavor and country tradition. Whether it's trail riding, wine tasting, or a weekend at the river, this is the kind of place that makes you slow down and breathe deeper. The property itself spans 4 usable acres, perfectly suited for a working equestrian lifestyle. Out behind the home sits a well laid out barn with three stalls, a tack room, cross tie station, hitching posts, trailer parking, and a 60 foot round pen. The land features fully fenced paddocks with room to expand and direct access to hundreds of miles of connected riding trails, including the legendary Western States Trail. Here, the lifestyle isn't just about horses, it's about space, freedom, and living close to the land. Behind the home, a seasonal creek flows through the property during the rainy months and into spring, bringing in mallards, geese, and other wildlife. On summer evenings, the open acreage comes alive with thousands of dragonflies floating through the warm light. From the back deck, the view stretches out over peaceful, open land that feels timeless and alive. The single story ranch home blends comfort and function with an updated kitchen, open living area with a wood burning fireplace, and a spacious primary suite with a walk in closet. The layout flows easily to a covered front patio and a wide back deck, perfect for unwinding after a ride or sharing quiet evenings with friends beneath the stars. Auburn Lake Trails is a tight knit, active community centered around outdoor living. Amenities include a private 9 hole golf course, tennis and sport courts, two clubhouses, a pool, fishing lakes, campgrounds, and a community riding arena. Whether your passion is riding, hiking, or simply enjoying the foothill lifestyle, this neighborhood gives you the space and community to live it fully. The sale also includes an additional 2 acre parcel with its own APN, giving you flexibility to expand, whether that means adding a guest home, extending your horse facilities, or simply enjoying more open ground. 2440 Otter Trail isn't just a home, it's the foothill way of life, where the trails run long, the land runs free, and every sunrise reminds you why you chose to live here.
