THERE ARE GATED COMMUNITIES, and then there is SERRANO. Set in El Dorado Hills, this is the community buyers point to when they want elevated living, championship golf, lake-country views, and a private secure country club in their backyard. This oversized .88-acre homesite sits on the custom, luxury, north side of Serrano, perfectly positioned on one of the community's most coveted premier streets, where only a rare handful of homesites remain. PRELIMINARY SERRANO APPROVED BUILDING PLANS are included with the sale, so you can leapfrog the lengthy planning process and build a brand-new luxury home in the guard-gated Serrano Golf and Country Club. That is what makes this a premium purchasenot raw dirt, but a head start inside El Dorado Hills' premier community. This premier lot is located in the custom and semi-custom side: meaning larger lots, higher elevations, oak-studded streets, and the homes that carry the $1.7 million to $4 million conversation. Same master Serrano plan. Same gates. A very different address. The crown jewel is Serrano Country Club. The championship course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., with rolling terrain and natural features that feel like the foothills, not a flattened fairway. Members are not loading clubs in a car and driving across town. In the custom villages, the golf cart leaves the garage and goes to the first tee. That is the lifestyle the premium is paying for. Just a short cart ride away, private membership opens championship golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, a resort-style pool and spa, and clubhouse dining with views. Serrano is more than golf. The community is stitched together with roughly 1,000 acres of open space and about 17 miles of scenic hiking and biking trails through oaks, creeks, parks and greenbelts. Serrano is for the buyer who wants the gate/security, the course, the trail system, and a home that still feels like a neighborhood with the best schools. Once you walk from your garage to the first tee, you understand why this remains El Dorado Hills' top golf communityand why Serrano epitomizes the amazing lifestyle everybody wants. If you are weighing Serrano against other El Dorado Hills or Folsom addresses, start here: a rare premier-street homesite, with Serrano approved preliminary plans in hand, on the custom side of the gates. WELCOME HOME!
