Living in Bass Lake Hills:
Semi-Rural Estates Around a Private Lake.
Tiegen Boberg, Broker Associate at Nick Sadek Sotheby's International Realty, specializes in Bass Lake Hills — a semi-rural, equestrian-friendly neighborhood of custom and semi-custom homes on generous parcels, centered around a private lake with its own park and beach.
Custom homes on generous parcels, centered around a private lake.
Bass Lake Hills is a semi-rural neighborhood on the western edge of El Dorado Hills, known for its rolling, oak-studded hills and a genuinely organic feel that's different from the area's larger master-planned communities. The housing stock is almost entirely unique custom and semi-custom homes — ranch houses, custom estates, and equestrian properties — with very little tract-home uniformity, on parcels ranging from standard-sized lots to multiple acres. Tiegen Boberg has represented buyers and sellers throughout Bass Lake Hills, helping clients understand what makes this quieter corner of the area distinct.
Swimming, fishing, and riding trails, just minutes from town.
At the heart of Bass Lake Hills is Bass Lake itself — a private lake with its own park and beach area, accessible to residents through the voluntary Bass Lake Homeowners Association, which maintains the lake and park facilities. For buyers drawn to a slower pace, the neighborhood is also a favorite among equestrian enthusiasts, with many properties zoned for horses and access to a network of local riding trails.
As a semi-rural, largely unincorporated area, many Bass Lake Hills properties rely on private water wells and septic systems rather than municipal utilities — worth factoring into any purchase decision alongside the area's wildfire considerations, which can affect insurance and safety planning in this oak-woodland setting.
Room to breathe, and a private lake to call your own.

Custom & Semi-Custom Homes

Generous Parcels
Lot sizes range from standard EDH lots to multiple acres, offering more privacy and space than many master-planned communities.
Rescue School District
Zoned to the Rescue School District — Green Valley Elementary, Pleasant Grove Middle School, and Ponderosa High School.
Rolling Oak-Studded Hills
A genuinely rural, organic landscape sets Bass Lake Hills apart from El Dorado Hills' newer developments.
Semi-rural living without giving up convenience.
Bass Lake Hills offers a more established, organic feel than its master-planned neighbors, with a mix of classic ranch houses and custom estates that have been added to and updated over decades. It's a highly sought-after option for buyers who want real acreage, room for horses or gardens, and genuine privacy.
That rural character comes with practical considerations — most Bass Lake Hills properties are on well and septic systems, and homeowners should factor wildfire risk into their insurance and safety planning, as is common throughout El Dorado Hills' semi-rural, oak-woodland areas.

Students generally attend Green Valley Elementary School, Pleasant Grove Middle School, and Ponderosa High School — different from the Buckeye Union boundaries that serve much of El Dorado Hills. Buyers should verify current boundaries directly with the district.

Yes. Bass Lake is a private lake with a park and beach area for swimming and fishing, available to residents through the voluntary Bass Lake Homeowners Association.
What should buyers know about wildfire risk in Bass Lake Hills?
