About This Home

Off Highway 50 Minutes to South Lake Tahoe Private water at the back door unpack and stay. This U.S. Forest Service cabin in Strawberry has already had the hard work donenew foundation, roof, kitchen, bath, double-pane windows, septic, split heating and air, and new decking. No punch list. No someday'' projects. Just a finished mountain house in one of the area's strongest cabin tracts.Behind the cabin, the water is yours more days than not: a secluded swimming and fishing hole, and a quiet lake that often sits empty. Mornings start with big-sky mountain views. From there it's hiking from the door, plus mountain biking and off-road riding when you want more dirt than trail. Water is simple and solidgravity-fed filtration, hydrants spaced through the tract, and drinking water year-round. Neighbors are the point, not the problem: a close, capable community, a kids' playground, and the old-school summer rhythm of ice cream socials and dances.Highway 50 is close enough for Tahoe skiing, beaches, and dinner. The cabin itself stays quiet, with little highway sound and the privacy you come to the forest for. If the search was for a USFS cabin you can actually live in on day one, this is the one to walk through.
