Property Details

If you’ve been searching for a quiet spot in the Sierra Nevada foothills to build your dream getaway, this 0.29-acre lot on Drop Off Rd in Pollock Pines is worth a look. Nestled in the trees at an elevation that gets fresh mountain air and light seasonal snow, Pollock Pines gives you that peaceful alpine setting without feeling cut off from civilization. Sitting just off the Highway 50 corridor, you’re only 20 minutes from historic downtown Placerville and less than an hour from the shores of South Lake Tahoe.

The lot offers a usable 0.29-acre footprint (roughly 12,600 square feet) inside an established residential neighborhood surrounded by tall pines and existing homes. Because it’s located in a developed area rather than remote off-grid wilderness, power and local water services run right in the neighborhood, making site development far more straightforward. The property's size gives you plenty of flexibility to design a custom cabin, add a large back deck to take in the tree views, or build a home with a garage for your vehicles and gear.

Living here puts outdoor recreation right at your doorstep. You’re just minutes from Jenkinson Lake at Sly Park Recreation Area—the local go-to spot for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and miles of trail hiking. Nearby Forebay Reservoir offers quiet walking paths and fishing, while Apple Hill’s famous orchards, bakeries, and wineries are a quick drive down the road. When winter hits, you can skip the heavy valley traffic and head straight up Highway 50 to world-class skiing at Kirkwood or Heavenly.

Why buy land instead of a finished home? Today’s housing market often forces buyers to pay high prices for older homes that still need major remodeling. Buying this lot lets you start with a clean slate, control your budget, and build a floor plan that fits your exact lifestyle—whether that's an efficient modern cabin, a low-maintenance weekend retreat, or a full-time family home. On top of that, land in Pollock Pines remains one of the most accessible ways to own property in El Dorado County.

Opportunities to secure an affordable, buildable parcel in an established foothill neighborhood are getting harder to find. Take a drive up to Drop Off Rd, walk the lot, and get a feel for the neighborhood. Bring your builder, check out the location, and start planning your escape to the mountains.
