Built in 1958 as a miner's cabin, this bi-level home in Pollock Pines has been updated for year-round living while keeping every bit of its mountain character intact. The main level features two rooms, one updated bathroom and an open kitchen and dining area originally an outdoor porch, now enclosed and filled with natural light. A wood-burning stove anchors the living space for Sierra winters, backed up by a Toyotomi heating stove and a Mitsubishi mini-split for year-round climate control. Fresh interior paint, new carpet, and light-toned flooring throughout. A covered elevated porch and west-facing windows deliver some of the best sunset views in El Dorado County framed by mature pines every evening. The lower level is the conversation starter. Accessed from outside, this large downstairs room has exposed wood beam ceilings, its own exterior door, laundry hookups, and yes a rock climbing wall the previous owners built. Use it as a guest suite, a creative workspace, a home gym, or an Airbnb-ready unit. The bones are there. Outside: tiered stone walls, stone staircases, a long driveway with ample parking, mature apple and apricot trees, and a substantial storage shed tucked among the pines. Nearly $20,000 in recent upgrades including a partial roof replacement and septic system updates completed in 2026. Move-in ready. This is a specific house for a specific buyer someone who wants mountain living, a project they can make their own, and a location that delivers on the lifestyle promise every single day.
