See Virtual Media! Spectacular ridge-top setting, with exceptional privacy, commanding views, and a true top of the world experience. Perched atop 50+ acres with sweeping, panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada, including Giant Gap/Sawtooth Range/N. Fork of the Am. River Canyon, this custom log cabin is much more than a mountain home. It is the realization of a dream decades in the making. When the Seller first walked the property, the land was covered in dense overgrowth towering above her head and scattered with dead timber. Most people would see a challenge. She saw possibility. From that moment, she began transforming the property into the mountain retreat that it is today. Completed in 2005, the 1,161 sq-ft cabin reflects a level of personal craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every element was thoughtfully selected to bring that vision to life. The knotty pine was created from boards personally selected, then sanded and stained by hand. The striking manzanita stair railing leading to the loft was gathered from the property and crafted to complement the cabin's natural mountain setting. Throughout the home, every material, finish, and detail was chosen with purpose, creating a warm and authentic space that feels deeply connected to the land itself. Expansive windows frame endless mountain vistas. A sprawling view deck serves as an outdoor living room in the sky, offering a front-row seat to unforgettable sunsets, snow-capped peaks, brilliant star-filled nights, and the unmatched tranquility of the High Sierra. Designed for self-sufficient mountain living, the property is fully off-grid and equipped with solar, a private well and septic system, providing independence without compromising comfort. Additional improvements include a substantial carport and multiple outbuildings with durable 50-year metal roofing. Surrounded by nature and free from the distractions of nearby development, this extraordinary property offers a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether envisioned as a luxury mountain retreat, a treasured family legacy property, or a year-round residence, it provides a rare combination of substantial acreage, modern functionality, and some of the most captivating views in the region. Properties of this caliber, seldom become available. This is a rare opportunity to own a property where endless horizons, unmatched seclusion, and natural beauty come together in a truly unforgettable setting..and...only 10 mins from I80.
