You carry your coffee out through one of the two twelve-foot sliding glass walls, and the yard opens flat in front of you. That word matters here. In El Dorado Hills, where almost every lot tumbles down a hillside, a large, level, walkout backyard is close to mythical, and 612 Thalassa Court sits on nearly three-quarters of an acre of it, seamlessly connected to the main living spaces the moment the glass slides away. The coffee bar handled the morning, the Grohe Blue tap poured the sparkling water, and now the day is just a question of which direction to walk. Pool to the left. Turf field ahead. The orchard and the nine garden boxes along the edge, already warming in the sun. By midday the yard is doing everything at once. Someone is running the lined pickleball court on the driveway while someone else shoots on the basketball court with its adjustable pro hoop and netted backstop. There is a bucket of balls waiting at the full-size 70-foot batting cage, which folds away when the season ends. The saltwater pool runs its water features while the dual Cabo shelves stay warm and shallow for the youngest swimmers, the diving board arcing the older ones into the deep end. This is a backyard that was planned like a small private park, and it rewards a family that actually intends to use every square foot of it. Evening slows the pace and turns the yard social. The outdoor kitchen comes to life, a 52-inch grill and cooktop under extensive cabinetry, filtered water at the sink, the concealed televisions rising into view and the gas fireplace throwing light across 1,500 square feet of covered living. Guests drift between the great room and the open air as if there were no wall between them, because for most of the evening there isn't. The pool bath and shower keep the wet feet outside. And long after the plates are cleared, the thing you remember about the house is the thing it is named for here: not the view, not the finishes, but the ground itself, flat and open and entirely yours.

One of the Rarest Features in El Dorado Hills: A Large, Flat Walkout Backyard. On nearly three-quarters of a gated acre, the level walkout yard connects directly to the home's main living spaces, a genuinely uncommon asset in a region defined by hillside lots.

A Private Recreation Compound. A saltwater pool with diving board, dual Cabo shelves, and water features, plus a putting green, an all-weather turf field, a lined pickleball court, a basketball court with adjustable pro hoop, a full-size 70-foot removable batting cage, a fruit-tree orchard, and nine garden boxes.

1,500 Square Feet of Covered Outdoor Living. Two twelve-by-ten sliding glass walls dissolve the boundary between the great room and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a 52-inch grill, cooktop, dishwasher, filtered water, gas fireplace, concealed televisions, and a dedicated pool bath and shower.

A Chef's Kitchen Built for Scale. An 11-foot island, quartz countertops, a 60-inch professional range, two dishwashers, a six-foot workstation sink with dual faucets, a walk-in pantry room, a butler's pantry, a dedicated coffee bar, and a Grohe Blue sparkling water system.

Two Main-Level Primary Suites and Estate-Grade Construction. An owner's retreat with a gas fireplace, illuminated walnut feature wall, private patio, outdoor shower, dual walk-in closets, and a steam-shower spa bath, alongside a 300-plus-bottle glass wine room, and premium build quality throughout: standing-seam metal roof, Marvin windows and doors, custom Colombara cabinetry, 8-inch European white oak floors, whole-home audio, smart-home technology, and solar.
