3285 Sofia Drive | Lincoln, California

A Private Resort Experience Overlooking Protected Preserves
Welcome to one of the most extraordinary residences in Lincoln's prestigious Twelve Bridges community. Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by protected nature preserves, ponds, wetlands, and miles of scenic trails, 3285 Sofia Drive offers a level of privacy, luxury, and lifestyle rarely found within a master-planned neighborhood.

Inspired by the owners' travels to luxury boutique hotels and world-class resorts, this remarkable residence has been meticulously transformed from a builder home into a custom-designed retreat. With over $800,000 invested in post-builder enhancements, every space was thoughtfully curated to create an experience that feels both luxurious and welcoming.

The home's striking contemporary architecture blends creamy alabaster stucco, modern stone elements, and sophisticated black metal accents to create a timeless exterior that immediately sets the tone for what awaits inside.

Upon entering, guests are welcomed by a covered foyer and a sophisticated executive office featuring custom built-in cabinetry, integrated filing systems, and an oversized glass-paneled barn door that creates a private and inspiring workspace.

The heart of the home is an extraordinary Great Room where dramatic floor-to-ceiling Italian tile feature walls frame a sleek contemporary fireplace. A professionally integrated seven-speaker theater system delivers immersive sound, while Sonos audio extends throughout the residence and outdoor entertaining spaces, creating a seamless luxury lifestyle experience.

The owners completely reimagined the original kitchen, transforming it into a chef's dream and entertainer's paradise. Premium Café Monogram One appliances, dual dishwashers, a built-in Monogram refrigerator, designer cabinetry, and extensive custom finishes create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. A dedicated wine and cocktail station, counter-to-ceiling marble backsplash, floating glass shelving, and a secondary coffee bar elevate the space to boutique hotel standards.
Adjacent to the kitchen, a custom walk-in pantry offers extensive storage and features an additional full-size refrigerator, providing exceptional convenience for entertaining and everyday living.

Designed to embrace California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle, expansive sliding glass doors connect the interior living spaces to the breathtaking backyard retreat. A main-level guest suite with private bath offers ideal accommodations for extended family, guests, or multigenerational living.
Upstairs, a spacious lounge serves as a secondary gathering area, while three additional bedrooms, guest baths, and a large laundry room provide comfort and functionality.

Privately situated on its own wing, the owner's retreat is a sanctuary designed to maximize the stunning natural surroundings. Expansive windows frame panoramic preserve and pond views, creating a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the everyday.

The spa-inspired primary bath features dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and an elegant walk-in shower. The custom-designed dressing room rivals luxury boutiques, highlighted by bespoke cabinetry and a one-of-a-kind center island topped with crushed glass.

And then there is the backyard....

Designed as a private luxury resort, the outdoor living environment is truly unforgettable. A covered alfresco dining pavilion with a premium louvered pergola provides year-round comfort, while the fully equipped outdoor kitchen features a Fire Magic see-through barbecue, wine refrigerator, two-burner gas cooktop, and expansive entertainment bar.

The custom PebbleTec pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor experience. A swim-up dining table and seating area create a resort-inspired gathering place, while stepping stones lead across the water to a dramatic elevated spa that spills over on all sides. A tanning shelf provides the perfect place to relax in the sun while enjoying the surrounding preserve views. The resort-caliber backyard was designed and constructed by acclaimed, award-winning pool builder Cosgrove Pools, one of Northern California's most respected luxury pool and outdoor living companies. Their craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the custom PebbleTec pool and dramatic spillover spa to the thoughtfully designed water features and outdoor gathering spaces that transform the backyard into a true private retreat.

As the sun sets, the backyard transforms into an evening retreat unlike anything else in Twelve Bridges. Gas torches illuminate the landscape, multiple water features create a tranquil ambiance, and a dramatic fire feature surrounded by charcoal fire media becomes the perfect place to gather beneath the stars.

Luxury Technology & Thoughtful Enhancements

Beyond the stunning finishes and resort-inspired design, 3285 Sofia Drive offers a sophisticated level of comfort, convenience, and smart-home integration. The residence is equipped with a comprehensive Control4 home automation system, allowing homeowners to effortlessly manage lighting, security, pool functions, and more from a centralized platform.

Throughout the home, custom Hunter Douglas automated shades provide both elegance and functionality. Fully integrated into the Control4 system, the shades can be adjusted with the touch of a button, creating the perfect ambiance while maximizing privacy and preserving the spectacular views that surround the property.

Additional enhancements include owned solar, providing energy efficiency and long-term savings, as well as a finished three-car garage featuring premium epoxy flooring that delivers both durability and a polished showroom-quality appearance.
Every improvement throughout the property reflects the owners' commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and creating a home that offers both luxury and effortless everyday living.

Located just steps from the community trail system, residents enjoy immediate access to miles of walking, running, and biking trails that wind through protected preserves, wetlands, ponds, and open space. Nearby Coyote Pond offers opportunities for fishing, picnicking, and enjoying the natural beauty that makes Twelve Bridges one of Lincoln's most desirable communities.
