Set on 10.10 private acres in the Sierra foothills, Moody Ridge Cabin offers sweeping views and a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from it all yet it's just 7 minutes to I-80 and a short distance to local restaurants and community events. The scenery takes center stage here. From sunrise coffee on the porch to quiet evenings under open skies, the panoramic vistas create an unforgettable backdrop in every season. With direct access to Green Valley Trailhead and Lovers Leap Lookout from Moody Ridge, plus Iron Point and Euchre Bar Trail (with access to the American River) just up the road, outdoor adventure is always within reach. The one-bedroom, one-bath cabin welcomes you with rustic charm and a warm, comfortable interior. Wood accents and a cozy wood stove set the tone, while tile and laminate flooring, a newer stove, and a generously sized laundry room add everyday convenience. Beyond the cabin, the property continues to impress. A watertight storage shed provides practical space, and the dog run could easily double as a chicken coop. The distinctive big red sunflower'' building offers abundant storage or the opportunity to reimagine it as a garage or workshop. With 10 acres of usable land, there's plenty of room to roam, garden, recreate, or simply enjoy the privacy and quiet. Moody Ridge Cabin is more than a home it's a retreat where views, space, and location come together beautifully.
