Bridget’s listing on 314 Marlette Drive, Ione, has just been reduced to $459,900 (formerly $485,000). 

Don’t let the small pictures fool you — this house is huge at 3,330 square feet.  Moreover, the way it’s laid out make it ideal for a daycare, extended family, or perhaps (with a little work) a home with a separate rental?  That’s because this beautiful 5 bedroom 3 bath house is laid out like two homes in one, with three bedrooms and two baths, with living room, formal dining room, and kitchen upstairs.  Downstairs includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchenette, den, a large family room, and outside access. 

Buyer should check with county for intended use, but this is definitely a great opportunity, now at an even better price.

My understanding is that Bridget is holding her beautiful Boondock Trail Listing open this weekend, from 12PM - 4PM Saturday and Sunday, March 31st and April 1st.

You should probably double check that to make sure there are no last minute changes by calling Bridget at (530) 306-9111.

You might want to bring a picnic lunch, because it promises to be a beautiful day in a lovely part of the county.

To see more of this lovely listing, check out the slide show.

We’ve put together a slide show that highlights the beauty of Bridget’s gorgeous listing on Boondock Trail. Bridget tells me that to really appreciate it, however, you should probably get out there and take a look for yourself.

In fact, we’re all so proud of this one that I was all set to make checking out this listing the featured stop on my second Amador County adventure. Then I realized that Fairplay was in El Dorado County, and I’m already living an El Dorado County Adventure each and every day.

And yes, you do get a copy of the slideshow burned onto a nice CD as one of our closing gifts when you move into the home…

I have had the honor of listing one of the most exquisite homes and settings I have ever seen. From the creek, pond, and lake to the detailed rock & brick work to the conveniences of dual heating & air. This paradise has it all. Situated in the “Heart” of Fairplay Viticulture, located in El Dorado County, this homes rests on over 6 usable acres with deeded access to a private lake located just a short walk across the road. There is plenty of room for a couple acres of vines, horses, alpacas, or whatever you have in mind. You can view more of this home at www.BridgetSells.com. Some of the possibilities might be a Bed and Breakfast, vacation retreat, or just an amazing place for your family to call home. 4 bedrooms 2 baths family/dining combo room, living room, and updated bathrooms. Rock fireplace and a beautiful propane stove. If you would like more information or to schedule your own private tour please call Bridget at 530-306-9111 or e-mail me at Bridget@BridgetSells.com.

Vicki Agregado just listed this beautiful three bedroom two bath home at 3253 Sandhurst Court, Cameron Park — if you follow that link you’ll see that if you lived in this well maintained home you’d be within an easy walking distance to Cameron Park Lake. (The lake itself has a really neat walking / running trail going around it). Also, you get the benefit of our small town feel and fantastic Cameron Park schools. Small town — what am I saying? — make that our small unincorporated area feel.
This three bedroom, two bath home is listed at $429,000. This listing has just been entered this morning so I can’t yet link to the listing, but it’s in the computer as MLS # 70017160, and here are some pictures for you.

Looking at our local Amador MLS, it appears that Amador City and Drytown currently have six beautiful homes active on the market. Amador City is a quiet little town located just south of Highway 16 on Highway 49. This little town includes an abundance of history, great food and shopping.

    Plymouth, currently has eighteen homes active on the market in the local Amador MLS. Plymouth is a slightly larger town than Amador City and Drytown. Amador County holds their annual fair in Plymouth. Plymouth leads the way to our gorgeous Shenandoah Valley, where there are currently a couple vineyard and winery properties available.

It looks like congratulations are in order to Bridget on what’s shaping up to be Elite Properties’ 2007 “New Years’ Baby” escrow, her listing at 9431 Wheeler Loop in Plymouth.

Three years after my hungry first year in this business, I still get all excited whenever there’s talk of an escrow. I love escrows, especially the closed ones that we do. I just want to be there for all the little escrows of the world, and give them all a great big hug from Papa Johnnie.

C’mere, you!

This just proves that so far our Amador County Elite Properties office is winning the John Lockwood Associates coveted “Office of the Year” award, for the year about to start.

Those slackers over in the Sacramento Office had better straighten up and fly right, or they’re going to find myself out of a job.

[Editor's note:  This was written before the Sacramento Office had any slackers besides the author.]

I have high hopes for the adventures of Elite Properties and I am willing to do anything to make it happen…for example….Blogging! I had hoped for more of a response from our fellow realtors and affiliates and their support in our blog-a-thon in which proceeds go to Amador and El Dorado county Food Banks. We will prevail!

I have done a little investigating this morning and it appears that our land sales in Jackson for the last 6 months of 2006 have averaged about 1 a month. Currently, half of the active land listings in Jackson have been on the market for more than 200 days. With this in mind, don’t miss the opportunity to look at the gorgeous 7 plus acres in the Christina Pines sudivision in Jackson. Virtual Tour
