Nice view! I saw similar pictures in some Orinda RE listings before.
I thought of Arizona or Vegas for a second home. But most of my income comes from CA real estate so living out of state has no tax advantages. Making an offer today in Placerville, 1 hour from my house. Warm in winters and perfect in the swing seasons. Will spend ski season and summer in Tahoe.
$650k gets 8 acres two houses a pond and a 1500sf RV barn in Placerville wine country. Like Napa 30 years ago.

Love my Nevada realtor
You KNOW your realtor is from NEVADA when her vehicle has your for sale sign along with rifles, pistols, ammo, targets, a gold detector, and gold pan. LOL

I grew up in Stanford in the 70’s; went to Gunn High School. The area was still very eclectic back then. Still some agriculture (apricot and plum orchards). Lots of small business. Lots of start-ups. You met all kinds of people and anyone with an aptitude for SOMETHING and a decent work ethic could get ahead. Now it’s very homogeneous - a b’jillion start-ups replaced with monoliths that make a business trading in your personal information. I have nothing in common with the millenials and too many oldsters just want to bitch and moan. AZ has a much better social scene. You meet all sorts. I thought Strawberry might be lots of old timers but no, 6pm rolls around and the Sportsman’s Chalet fills up with 20 and 30 somethings. “This is a good place to make a living but you have to bring your work with you” as one of them said to me. I miss that attitude.
