A Mediterranean Masterpiece Overlooking Folsom Lake
8920 Vista De Lago Court | Granite Bay, California
Perched at the pinnacle of Los Lagos—a prestigious, guard-gated enclave celebrated for its tranquil ponds, walking trails, and celebrity residents—this 7,700 square-foot Mediterranean estate embodies refined California living.
Designed for those who value space, privacy, and
enduring craftsmanship, the residence rests on 1.3 acres of manicured grounds that back directly to California State Parks land, offering a rare connection to nature where trails lead from your own backyard to the shores of Folsom Lake. The estate not only backs to the lake but also enjoys unobstructed panoramic views of Folsom Lake—an extraordinary blend of privacy and scenery seldom found in Granite Bay.
A Setting of Prestige and Seclusion
Los Lagos has long been the address of choice for accomplished professionals and athletes
drawn to its 24-hour guarded gates, tennis and pickleball courts, and timeless Mediterranean aesthetic. The community is also noted for its top-rated schools, adding to its enduring desirability for discerning families. Built in 2000 and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this residence occupies one of the community’s most coveted hilltop parcels.
A long, private driveway lined with mature oaks, Japanese maples, boulders, and landscape lighting leads to the grand entry, where a three-tiered fountain and tranquil pond landing create an unforgettable first impression. Recent updates, including a new roof and solar energy system, provide modern efficiency and peace of mind.
Grand Entry and Artisan Craftsmanship
Through the stately black front door with sidelights, a dramatic foyer soars overhead. Dual curved staircases sweep upward beneath a dazzling chandelier, while chiseled travertine floors flow into newly installed walnut hardwoods, blending timeless elegance with contemporary
warmth.
To the right, a formal piano room glows with the ambiance of a gas fireplace framed by a granite surround and mirrored upper. To the left, a formal dining room with a curved niche
and chandelier sets the stage for elegant gatherings.
Entertaining Without Limits
The heart of the home unfolds in a Great Room designed for entertaining on a grand scale. Floor-to-ceiling custom alder cabinetry by Savage Designs, a commanding fireplace with
granite surround, and exquisite millwork define the space. Adjoining is a lavish bar reminiscent of a luxury hotel lounge, featuring leathered, chiseled-edge granite counters, wine refrigeration, glass cabinetry, sink, and seating for ten.
From here, the billiard and game room invites connection and leisure with custom built-ins, a bay window wrapped in upholstered seating, and walls of glass showcasing the panoramic lake view. Slider doors in each room open to an oversized veranda, blurring the line between indoors and out—perfect for hosting game nights, watching football, or savoring evening sunsets over Folsom Lake.
Culinary Artistry
The chef’s kitchen blends luxury and functionality, anchored by a 15-foot island with beveled-edge leathered granite. Outfitted with Sub-Zero refrigeration, a Dacor professional range with six burners, griddle, and dual ovens, dual dishwashers, two walk-in pantries, and handcrafted
Savage cabinetry, it’s a space where form and function converge.
Step outside to a resort-style outdoor kitchen featuring DCS by Fisher & Paykel appliances, full-size refrigerator and freezer, oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, sink, and generous bar seating—all under a covered loggia with motorized solar shades and dual-speed misters.
A natural boulder water feature, pool bath with shower, and free-form pool and spa with a central fountain transform the backyard into an entertainer’s paradise. Beyond the pool,
fragrant rose trees, lush lawn, and raised garden beds with potting shed complete this outdoor haven.
