Tucked away on a quiet court at the end of the street, this property offers an exceptionally private feel. Centrally located in the desirable Big Trees Village Subdivision on a .67-acre lot, this 1,144 sq ft alpine chalet is full of character but requires some updates, which is exactly why it is priced as an incredible value. This is a rare opportunity for someone to invest in a vacation home in a highly sought-after neighborhood, allowing you to build your own equity from day one. The main floor features one bedroom and a full bathroom, while upstairs a spacious loft accommodates family and friends. Step into a living area defined by original 1978 vaulted wood ceilings that bring a nostalgic, vintage feel. Large windows frame the stunning natural views, allowing the peaceful landscape to become part of the interior. In the center, a classic wood stove provides a charming focal point for warming up after an active day outdoors. The compact, efficient kitchen maximizes its layout with an included stove, sink, refrigerator, elegant granite countertops, durable stone floors, and a convenient breakfast bar. High-speed internet is also in place to keep you connected effortlessly. Practical amenities include 2-car off-street asphalt parking and a large storage area underneath for gear. The cabin sits on a county-maintained road kept clear by snowplows for hassle-free winter access. Adventure surrounds you all year long. You are only 1 mile from the optional Big Trees Recreation Center, featuring two pools, tennis, pickleball, and a play area. Calaveras Big Trees State Park is just 3 miles away for hiking, while Bear Valley Ski Resort is an easy 24-mile drive away.
