Who wouldn't love this remarkably peaceful 2br/2ba, 1396 sq ft chalet-style cabin w/ loft & large back deck overlooking a rapidly running stretch on year-round Whiskey Creek? The creek has a large flat rock "beach" area w/ historic grinding holes & a small swimming hole. For the cabin, you'll note quality construction, such as copper roofing & gutters over the entryway, an induction stove, a lovely fireplace w/ stone hearth, built-in cabinets, laundry room w/ utility sink, warm colors, and a high, peaked roof with gorgeous beamed ceilings. There is a loft bedroom upstairs, a large bedroom downstairs, and a bathroom on each level. A 2-story wall of windows allows lovely views of the creek, stately cedars, towering pines, seasonal wildflowers, blackberries, Sierra wild plums, and the wonderful wildlife they attract. There is also a 40 amp outlet for EV charging. The large downstairs bedroom that currently sleeps 4, was originally 2 separate bedrooms and can easily be converted back to that. The ever-present sound of the creek rushing nearby, even in the summer, provides a quiet sense of peace. There is also a historic old shed that is currently used for firewood & storage. An adjoining lot (see MLS# FR23160290) is being offered for $49,000. The Sellers bought this lot for additional privacy. If a Buyer is not interested, the owners will sell it separately, but want the Buyers of their home to have the first option to buy both parcels together. Located in Cascadel Woods the neighborhood itself is remarkable for its 40 acre common area with trails, creeks, many swimming areas, fishing, old apple & pear trees, and a rustic clubhouse popular for parties and wedding receptions. Whiskey Creek is in this common greenbelt area. The HOA that used to maintain this area is no longer in effect, so the common area is now run by the County with a very reasonable annual fee added to the county taxes. The Cascadel Mutual Water company provides water & road maintenance. Cascadel Woods is surrounded on three sides by the Sierra National Forest, with miles of roads, rivers, waterfalls, lakes, trails, climbing destinations and incredible high country scenery. Located approx. 10 minutes to North Fork, 20 minutes to Bass Lake, 30 minutes to Oakhurst, and 40 minutes to the South Gate at Yosemite National Park. Come find your Classic Mountain Cabin now! County records differ from actual sq footage and number of beds/baths; Buyer to investigate if concerned.
