11 Sacramento Homes That Will Blow Your Mind

While home buying can be a long process that requires lots of community research, agent communication, open house visits and online searching, it only lasts for a season. And often, once you find your dream home, you no longer need to stop by open houses in the neighborhood.

However, we have to admit that it’s fun to peek inside various homes on the market, whether or not you’re looking to buy at the time. And it’s particularly exciting to walk through some luxury properties, with larger-than-life amenities, tall ceilings and breathtaking views.

So we put together a little luxury home tour of our own, drawing attention to some of our favorite mansions in the greater Sacramento area on the market right now. So scroll through these jaw dropping photos and be sure to leave a comment after the “tour,” letting us know which home you like the best!

Modern Mansion with Large Glass Windows

This modern mansion in Arden-Arcade is a welcomed change of pace from the more traditional high-end properties we typically see. We love the clean-cut combination of glass, aluminum, stainless steel and charcoal concrete, that come together to create a peaceful yet exciting feel throughout the home. We also love the wide open floor plan, which is made even wider with the tall glass walls that allow lots of natural light in. Sit back and relax on the covered outdoor patio next to the fireplace, as you control all home functions with the smart home automation system.
