5621 Saw Mill Road
Placerville, California

Welcome to 5621 Saw Mill Road.
Set on 5.78 private acres in the heart of El Dorado County’s scenic foothills, this thoughtfully maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat offers a rare blend of serenity, space, and everyday comfort — all within minutes of town conveniences and Highway 50 access.

From the moment you arrive, the setting speaks for itself. Mature trees frame the property. Deer wander through at sunrise. Wild turkeys cross quietly at dusk. The air feels cleaner. The pace feels calmer. The world feels just a little farther away.
Yet nothing you need is truly far.
A Home That Feels Like It’s Been Loved

Inside, approximately 2,028 square feet of living space unfolds with warmth and character. Cathedral ceilings and architectural beams create an open, airy living room — anchored by a stunning stone fireplace with a wood-burning insert, perfect for cozy evenings during foothill winters.

Waterproof laminate flooring adds durability without sacrificing style, while thoughtful details such as board-and-batten walls in the hallway provide subtle custom charm.

Fresh paint in the dining room, kitchen, and laundry areas brings brightness and a clean, updated feel. A Samsung dishwasher and built-in appliances support effortless day-to-day living.

A Primary Suite Made for Quiet Mornings
The spacious primary bedroom offers its own gas fireplace/heater, creating a warm and intimate retreat during cooler months. Whether enjoying a book by the fire or waking to soft natural light filtering through the trees, this suite offers both comfort and calm.
Walk-in closet space and a private bath complete the setting.
For those considering a retirement lifestyle or simply seeking fewer distractions and more peace, this room becomes a sanctuary.


The pond has recently been refreshed with:

A new pump system
Cleaning and maintenance
Restocking with vibrant Koi
It now serves as a quiet focal point — a reflective feature that enhances the property’s sense of stillness.

There is no livestock currently on the property. Instead, nature remains the only regular visitor — deer, turkeys, and the occasional fox passing gently through.
It is a setting that feels both private and alive.

Confidence in the Systems
Peace of mind matters — especially in a long-term home.
This property has been responsibly maintained:
40-year composition roof installed in 1998 (replacing original tile), in good working condition

HVAC system approximately 14 years old, operating perfectly
Private well functioning without limitation — owners report running it as though on city water
Septic system pumped late 2023, not due again until approximately 2027–2028

Brand new, top-of-the-line garage door and opener
New battery system for gated entrance

Updated central vacuum unit functioning beautifully
This is a home where major systems have been cared for — not deferred.

For lifestyle buyers, it offers land without isolation.
For anyone seeking balance, it offers exactly that.
