About This Home

Charming 1934 Storybook Cabin on 7.65 Private Acres - A Rare Mountain Retreat. Step back in time and embrace the magic of mountain living with this one-of-a-kind 1934 custom-built storybook cabin, nestled on 7.65 private acres in the heart of Blue Lake Springswithout the restrictions or fees of an HOA! Steeped in history, this 2,994 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 2-bath home was originally envisioned as a lodge for guests exploring Blue Lake Springs and Fly-In Acres. It's even rumored to have been featured in Sunset Magazine in 1938! While the home is in need of restoration, its potential is undeniable. Perched on a rare, flat, highly usable parcel, the property boasts ample parking for RVs, boats, and guests. Nature lovers will appreciate the heritage apple orchard, a quaint ornamental pond crafted from local shale, and towering evergreens that surround the home, creating a serene, secluded retreat. The home's Art Deco-era charm is showcased through arched doorways, original hardwood floors, a grand stone fireplace, beadboard accents, and striking beam ceilings in the main living area. Unique custom tilework, handcrafted metal details, and vintage light fixtures further enhance its timeless character. Two detached outbuildings provide additional space, including a spacious garage and a separate storage room. For golf enthusiasts, Sequoia Woods Golf Course is just across the street, and the pristine waters of Fly-In Acres and White Pines Lake are just minutes away for endless outdoor recreation. Whether you're seeking a restoration project, a private mountain escape, or a slice of Sierra history, this property is a rare and special opportunity to own a piece of the pastwhile crafting your dream for the future. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring this enchanting mountain retreat back to life!
