Bordering National Forest. Surrounded by Trees. Rooted in a Slower Pace. Tucked among towering pines and cedars and bordering the Stanislaus National Forest, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain retreat offers the kind of setting people come to the Sierra for—privacy, fresh air, and a connection to nature that feels increasingly hard to find. Positioned on approximately 0.28 acres with southern exposure, the home is filled with natural light and framed by views of the surrounding forest. Open-beam ceilings, warm wood accents, and a wood-burning stove create an inviting mountain atmosphere that feels comfortable in every season. The renovated kitchen features granite and marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and opens naturally to the dining area, making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. Outside, an expansive deck invites morning coffee beneath the trees, afternoons spent listening to the breeze through the pines, and evenings gathered with friends under the mountain sky. Additional amenities include dual-pane windows, interior laundry, mutual water service, septic system, and generous under-house storage for outdoor equipment and seasonal gear. Located just minutes from Pinecrest Lake, Dodge Ridge, hiking trails, fishing, and year-round recreation, this property offers an opportunity to enjoy the mountain lifestyle while remaining close to the conveniences of Twain Harte, and the surrounding communities.
