About This Home

Nestled in the heart of the Sierras, this exceptional 22-acre property offers rare Yuba River frontage, complete privacy, and a fully off-grid lifestyle within the gated community of Towle Mountain. Thoughtfully designed for recreation, relaxation, and entertaining, this one-of-a-kind retreat features three charming cabins, a professionally appointed saloon, and direct access to year-round outdoor adventure. The centerpiece of the property is a custom-built saloon, complete with a cherry wood and granite bar, kegerator, beer taps, wine room, and a vintage 1907 wood stove. A pool table and speakeasy-style entrance add playful charm and functionality, making it the ideal space for gatherings after a day on the trails, river, or snow. Each of the three 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabins is thoughtfully equipped with full kitchens, fireplaces, soaking tubs, and covered decks. Emma’s cabin, perched above a wildflower-strewn meadow, offers scenic views and the soothing sounds of the Yuba River. A 1,000 sq ft apartment sits above the workshop and saloon, ideal for guests, caretakers, or flexible work and hobby space. The original 400 sq ft rustic cabin will take you back in time with its exposed rafters and wood burning stove. Outdoors, granite slabs along the riverbank provide easy access for swimming and fishing. Nearby trails lead to Lola Montez Lake, and in the winter, it is a snowmobile mecca. Winter access is via snowmobile or snowcat from the plowed gate. Multiple flat areas throughout the property offer ample space for future development, parking, or storing recreational equipment. This off-grid property is self-sustaining with solar power, backup generators, propane, septic systems, and a shared spring-fed well. Located just minutes from Donner Summit and its world-class ski resorts, alpine lakes, and trail systems, the property offers unmatched four-season recreational access. Whether you're seeking a private family compound, a retreat venue, or an rare escape into nature, this extraordinary property is both a lifestyle and an investment. Shown by appointment only. This is your four-seasons playground.
