Rare. Remarkable. Irreplaceable. Tucked away in the high country and bordered on two sides by the Sierra National Forest, this breathtaking 10.28-acre property is an investor's dream with 3 separate cabins, totaling approximately 1800 square feet. Whether you envision a thriving short-term rental, a one-of-a-kind event or retreat destination, or your own private mountain getaway, the amenities and natural beauty are already in place.A standout feature is a charming 930 sf two story A-frame built in 2004, where soaring windows flood the interior with natural light and the sound of the creek is your constant presence. Step outside and cross a wooden bridge to a beautiful meadow, framed by stunning rock outcroppings and the kind of scenery that stops people in their tracks. A lovingly maintained, 600 sf log cabin built in 1961 adds undeniable character and nostalgia. A thoughtfully appointed tiny cabin with loft rounds out the trio. Each unit is fully equipped with a kitchen, full bath, and bedroom areas - completely turnkey and guest-ready.This property doesn't just sit near water - the creek literally runs through it. Fed by an artesian well, the creek flows year-round, making it a genuine waterfront experience deep in the mountains. Two wells - one private and one artesian - ensure an abundant and reliable water supply. The current owner has invested wisely, installing a new well, new flooring throughout, and a new solar battery and inverter system, delivering modern off-grid capability without sacrificing comfort.Previously operated as a successful short-term rental, the groundwork has already been laid for immediate income generation. The peaceful, secluded setting creates a natural privacy and tranquility that guests will travel far to experience. Separate outbuildings, one equipped with washer and dryer, add to the practical infrastructure needed for seamless operations.And the adventure doesn't stop at the property line. The surrounding Sierra Nevada high country is a four-season playground, offering world-class hiking and backpacking trails, blue-ribbon fishing streams and lakes, off-roading, snowmobiling, and countless opportunities to explore California's most spectacular wilderness. Yosemite, Bass Lake and Oakhurst are all within easy reach.Completely useable and overflowing with natural wonder - this is not just a property. It is a destination.
