I was chatting with one of my teammates the other day, and she suggested I write something about the lovely vacation homes that are available in areas like Grizzly Flats and Somerset, i.e., in an area of El Dorado County known as South County.

One can still find nice homes in Grizzly Flats and Somerset for under $400,000. Buyers enjoy properties that are unspoiled and “off the beaten path”, making them perfect as vacation properties.

Here’s a cute chalet, for example, that a fellow REMAX Gold Agent has listed for under $300,000:

Because commuting to South County is more of a challenge than the “Sacramento suburbs” like El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park, prices in South County have been low for some time. However this year we’ve started to see prices similar to what’s to be found in Placerville itself, I suspect at least part of that is an artifact of the fact that listing agents will routinely list Swansboro homes — themselves being extremely remote — as being in Placerville.
