About This Home

Steeped in history and perched in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, this rare USFS cabin is entering the market for the very first time. Built by the original owners in the 1940s, this cherished retreat has been held by the same family for generations, offering a legacy of mountain memories and a unique connection to this iconic landscape.Positioned just across from Highway 88, from Caples Lake, the cabin features a sun-drenched deck that serves as your private sanctuary. From here, you can catch a charming peek-a-boo view of Caples Lake through the trees. Inside, the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout retains its classic high-country charm while embracing smart, off-grid modernizations. You'll enjoy the independence of a solar power system equipped with battery backup, complemented by propane heating, a wood stove, and seasonal water access, ensuring comfort while you disconnect from the hustle and bustle.Adventure is right at your doorstep, with the world-class slopes of Kirkwood Ski Resort located just a few minutes away. Whether you're relaxing on the deck after a day of alpine exploration or cozying up in a piece of local history, the sense of heritage here is palpable. Opportunities to own a cabin so meticulously cared for by its founding family are incredibly rare. It's more than just a getaway; it's a timeless escape in the heart of the mountains.
