A Boat Dock, Lift, and Two Jet Ski Ports on Lake Tulloch
$2,095,000
Copperopolis sits in California's Sierra foothills, in Calaveras County, where Lake Tulloch fills a long, arm-shaped reservoir known for some of the warmest, most swimmable water in the region. This house sits on the main body of the lake, where the water opens up and the views run deep rather than tucked into a side cove — the kind of position lake regulars specifically look for.
Built in 2007 on a steel foundation, the house is laid out across three full levels with entertaining clearly in mind. The main floor centers on a kitchen with a large granite island, opening to a covered deck for grilling and watching the lake, plus a great room, dining area, and a bedroom, bath, and laundry room for main-floor living. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own private deck for quiet evenings above the activity. Downstairs is where the house really leans into lake-house living: a game room with a full bar, two more bedrooms, and a second covered deck leading down to an expansive lower deck right at the water — steps from a boat dock with a lift and two dedicated jet ski ports.
At $2,095,000, or about $669 a square foot, this prices as a serious lake-recreation property — a home built specifically around getting on and off the water quickly and often, not just looking at it. A $148 monthly HOA covers shared amenities typical of a planned lake community. Listing courtesy of Linda Stefanick, Copper Valley Properties.
Life at the Water
Water Access & Depth
The property sits on the main body of Lake Tulloch, giving open, deep-water views rather than a narrower cove position — a real distinction on a lake shaped like this one. A boat dock with a lift and two separate jet ski ports means multiple watercraft can be in the water and ready to go at the same time, without the usual shuffle of a single-slip setup.
Recreation & Boating
Lake Tulloch is known regionally for warm water, good visibility, and a no-wake zone on parts of the lake that keeps certain coves calm for swimming while other areas stay open for skiing and wake sports. It's a popular bass fishing lake as well, and the lake's shape — long, with multiple arms — means there's genuine variety between quiet water and open, active boating water depending on where you point the bow.
Dock & Waterfront Features
A boat dock with a lift and two jet ski ports is already in place, set up for a household running multiple watercraft rather than a single boat. Lake Tulloch shoreline structures are typically managed through the Tulloch Homeowners Association and Tri-Dam (the lake's operating authority) rather than county permitting alone; confirm the dock's permit status and any HOA-specific rules on jet ski ports with the agent before closing.
Flood & Insurance Considerations
Lake Tulloch is a managed reservoir with water levels controlled by Tri-Dam rather than a natural lake subject to unpredictable flood risk, which generally means more predictable water levels than a free-flowing river property. Still, confirm current flood zone status for this specific parcel and get an insurance quote, since reservoir-adjacent property can carry its own particular coverage requirements.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Copperopolis is a small Gold Rush-era town in Calaveras County that's grown into a genuine lake community around Lake Tulloch, with the historic Copperopolis Town Square nearby offering shops, dining, and a walkable center that keeps some of the area's mining-town character alive. It's a quieter, more low-key lake scene than some of California's bigger reservoirs, which is part of its appeal.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
Calaveras County sits at the edge of Gold Country and the Sierra foothills, with wine tasting rooms, historic mining towns, and access routes toward Yosemite and the higher Sierra within a reasonable drive. Closer to the lake itself, multiple marinas and public access points around Tulloch support everything from quiet paddling to full-day boating, and the region's rolling oak-studded hills make for good hiking and horseback riding beyond the water.
