“One of the Biggest, if not the biggest home sales, in the Sacramento Region in 2017.”
One of the biggest, if not the biggest, home sales in the Sacramento region in 2017 was completed earlier this month.
Nick Sadek of Sotheby’s International Realty said an international buyer closed escrow on a 9,500-square-foot home at 9220 Royal Crest Court in Granite Bay for $6.95 million.
The property, which includes a second home of 1,800 square feet and sits on a 2.4-acre lot, was previously listed last year but didn’t attract any serious offers, Sadek said.
As luxury home prices have risen in the Bay Area and Lake Tahoe, though, the pool of buyers for a property like the one in Granite Bay has expanded, he said.
“We already get a lot of transplants from the Bay Area,” said Sadek, who listed the property.
Built in 2004, the house features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an oasis-style backyard with a 100,000-gallon swimming pool and waterslide, and 425-gallon saltwater fish tank. Other features include a theater room, Mediterranean architecture, outdoor kitchen and swim-up bar, Sadek said.
“It definitely cost a lot more to build than what it sold for,” he said. “Honestly, it’s an amazing piece of property.”
Real estate records show this is the first time the listing sold as a developed property, though it sold as an undeveloped lot for $625,000 in 2001.
One of Auburn’s finest homes — and one of its oldest — the 130-year-old El Toyon residence is up for sale for only the third time in its stately history.
The extremely rare buying opportunity on a unique historic property is being brokered by Sotheby’s International Realty, giving the Brook Road property global exposure. Asking price is a dollar under $2 million.
El Toyon — named for a small evergreen that grows in the Sierra — was constructed in 1888 by expatriate New Englander Walter Davis.
A Civil War hero and wildly successful Placer County gold-mine owner, Davis built the home in 1888 and it stayed in his family until 1918. The Stanley family bought it from Davis’ heirs and kept it for three generations. Current owners Terri and Henry Batsel bought El Toyon in the early 1990s and lovingly restored it.
The house sits on 1.6 acres perched over the American River canyon, with views stretching to the Sierra. The home itself was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 as a classic example of shingle-style architecture — harkening back to Davis’s roots.
Listing agent Judy Richardson points to oak floors and leaded glass throughout the house that are original, indicating the continuum of care and respect each family that has occupied El Toyon has carried over for the building.
And part of that respect comes from the legacy of Col. Walter Scott Davis.
Davis was born in Boston in 1837 and entered his family’s wool business at an early age. When the Civil War broke out, he enlisted as a Union officer and rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Davis would retain the rank of “colonel” for the rest of his life but the title was far more than honorary.
Davis’s descendents in Auburn have kept his Civil War writings as he expressed the fear and determination of a battle-hardened soldier during the bloodiest conflicts on American soil.
In Pennsylvania in 1862, Davis would write to his family: “If I fall it will be in good and glorious cause and there will be no one suffering for bread on account of it.”
By 1864, the 27-year-old lieutenant colonel would write: “We all feel now that the war is nearly at an end and I am as certain of success as I am that I shall die.”
Davis survived the Civil War despite his misgivings, moving his family to Placer County in 1879 after establishing a successful orange growing enterprise in Anaheim. He bought the El Toyon land in the mid-1880s and moved his family in four years later. By that time, his Mammoth Bar Mine on the middle fork American River roughly where the Mammoth Bar OHV Park is located had also become a success.
Davis died in 1908, a gold-mine magnate with a penchant for helping his adopted community. It was his leadership — and an infusion of the colonel’s cash — that helped build the Auburn Opera House in the 1890s in Downtown Auburn.
While the Davis home was in Auburn, his heart remained in New England. His ashes were sent east after his death for a final resting place in Cambridge, Massachusetts’ historic Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Richardson said that El Toyon is already receiving interest from potential buyers, primarily from the Bay Area. Some are looking for second homes. Others are seeing the house, located about a third of a mile east of Downtown Auburn as a primary residence.
For Richardson, El Toyon is a special listing.
“I was born in Auburn so being selected for this listing is very special to me,” she said. “It’s a unique part of the city’s history.”

Lincoln, California is home to many custom estates including this Award-Winning architectural plan by The Weber Group. This plan was originally built by the Bradford Building Corp. in Orlando, Florida where it won an Award at the 2007 Annual Parade of Homes for its design plan.
Custom Alder wood cabinets were built by Frank Jordan in the Chef’s kitchen and throughout the home.
Craftsmanship of the woodwork in the chef’s kitchen and throughout the house was important to the builder to select the best in the area. They employed the work of the prestigious craftsman of Frank Jordan to do all their cabinetries. Frank has a great eye for beauty of the wood and believes in only using the best hardwood. Alder wood is used in this home which definitely adds a charm to this estate.
