About This Home

As of October 2025

Secluded Mid Century cabin at the top of Loop Drive in Camp Nelson.

Nestled in a sun-drenched meadow with peekaboo views of Slate Mountain, this lovingly maintained mid-century cabin offers a rare opportunity in Camp Nelson. On the market for the first time ever, the property has been in the same family for over 100 years, with the cabin itself built in 1962.

(the property was originally purchased from Emma Nelson, John Nelson's daughter.)

Step inside to a warm and welcoming interior, where original mid-century colors and style have been thoughtfully preserved. The spacious living room is anchored by a classic brick fireplace—perfect for cozy mountain evenings. With two charming bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout is ideal for both relaxing weekends and entertaining guests.

Surrounded by nature, yet full of nostalgic character, this well-cared-for retreat captures the magic of Camp Nelson living. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history in one of the Sierra's most beloved communities.
