Situated in the magnificent and breath-taking Hope Valley, CA and only a short drive to the quaint town of Markleeville, Kirkwood Ski Resort and beautiful Lake Tahoe, is a very unique, once in a lifetime offering. The 1462 sq ft cabin started its life as the “Doll House” in Santa’s Village near Santa Cruz in 1957. When the Village was sold, it was disassembled piece by piece and rebuilt in its current location as a sturdy cabin with strong bones and real distinctiveness. Nestled in a forested wilderness, this cabin has Forest Service land on 3 sides. Only a short drive up the road, you’ll come upon a beautiful mountain lake called Burnside Lake. There is great hiking from Burnside down to Grover Hot Springs or you can cross Burnside Lake Road and take a nice walk to the East Fork of the Carson River for trout fishing in the summer or cross-country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. This sturdy log cabin offers a comfortable floor plan. On the main level, there is a cozy living room with free standing wood stove and an open beam ceiling, a family room opening to a deck and awe-inspiring views and a kitchen with an antique cook stove and nice eating area. There is also a mud room and full bathroom. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, one with views of Red Peak and the other with views of the meadows of Hope Valley and Sierra Nevada Mountain range in the backdrop. There is also an inviting window seat with views, as well as a half bath. The utilities include a domestic well with a pump that pumps water to a large water holding tank providing gravity fed water to the home, solar and generator and propane. This is an "off GRID" location. There is a septic and leach field. Winter access is limited, but not impossible. If you’re looking for a well-built cabin in a private and beautiful location, with amenities not too far away (only 1.8 miles to Pickett's Junction at intersection of Hwy 88 and 89), this is one to consider. This is an untouched acreage with a ton of wildlife, birds, beautiful wildflowers and views in every direction. Great location for outdoor enthusiasts!
