A Rare Riverfront Retreat in the Heart of Lotus! Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of the South Fork American River flowing just beyond your backyard. This rare riverfront property offers an extraordinary opportunity to own 168 feet of direct river frontage in one of the most sought-after stretches of Lotus. The charming 1+-bedroom, 2-bath cabin invites you to slow down and embrace life by the water where mornings begin with coffee on the deck and evenings end with golden reflections dancing across the river. A second structure offers potential for a guesthouse or ADU, while the separate shop provides space for hobbies, gear, or creative pursuits. With Community Commercial zoning, the possibilities are endless from a private waterfront escape to a unique business or recreation venture. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, a full-time home, or an investment in a truly irreplaceable location, this riverfront gem offers a front-row seat to the beauty and adventure that define the Sierra Foothills.
