Property Description

Hidden on 2.29 acres and backing directly to National Forest, this fully furnished 3-bedroom, 3-bath mountain chalet is the kind of place that makes you realize true luxury is peace and quiet. Here's your soundtrack: rustling pines, crackling fires, and birds that apparently just never got the memo to be quiet. No HOA. No nosy committees. No strongly worded letters about your front porch decor or what's parked in the driveway - just you, the trees, and all the freedom the mountains were meant to have. Inside, soaring vaulted open-beam ceilings and a dramatic stone hearth with a wood stove deliver all the cozy cabin vibes, while the extensive down-to-the-studs remodel means you get the charm without inheriting someone else's 1974 plumbing decisions. The updated kitchen is ready for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday feasts, the mountain modern bathrooms feature eye catching corrugated metal shower surrounds, and luxury vinyl plank flooring is ready to handle muddy boots, wet dogs, and that overexcited kid who forgot to leave the snow outside. With plenty of bedrooms, a loft, bonus room, and a full bath on every level, there's room for everyone - whether they're family, lifelong friends, or the ones who said they were just 'stopping by for a night' three days ago. Step outside and you'll find a sprawling deck overlooking towering pines and massive granite outcroppings that have been patiently waiting a few million years for someone to enjoy the view, a fire pit built for stories, and a flat circular driveway with enough parking for the whole crew and all the mountain toys. Add in your own private 940-foot-deep well producing approximately 20 GPM of water, a well house, a newer metal roof, updated electrical, plumbing, newer appliances, and direct access to endless outdoor adventure, and you've found something increasingly rare: a mountain home that feels worlds away while sitting just 0.8 miles from the highway. From powder days at Bear Valley Ski Resort to summer afternoons at Lake Alpine, Spicer Reservoir, or Utica Reservoir, some of the Sierra's best recreation is just 10 minutes away. Turns out happiness does grow on trees... 2.29 acres of them, to be exact.
