Welcome to Alta and 344 Alta Powerhouse Road. There are so many possibilities with this quaint mountain property! Make it your own and enjoy close proximity to all the incredible natural amenities that the Sierra Foothills has to offer. From exhilarating winter skiing & the beauty of spring fishing & nature hikes, to summer get-aways & cozy family weekends, you'll love this property that feels secluded but is still close to everyday conveniences, and just a short distance to the historic towns of Auburn or Nevada City. There's plenty of room to possibly add square footage to the existing home that's setback from the road or add on to the big 2 car detached garage at the back of the lot. Explore the idea of building an ADU, additional garage or storage shed on property to suit your needs.
