The Property

Two homes. One extraordinary landscape.

Tucked in the Sierra Nevada foothills just minutes from Bass Lake and Yosemite, this 11-acre compound has served as both a beloved family retreat and a sought-after vacation rental. Whether you're looking for a private legacy property, a multigenerational compound, or a high-performing short-term rental investment — this estate is rare.

The property runs entirely on solar (paid off at close of escrow), draws from a shared well, and sits in one of California's most distinctive mountain communities — with room to breathe, create, and gather.

What Makes It Special

Designed for life well-lived

🏔️

Mountain Scenery

Multiple decks and covered porches frame the Sierra Nevada landscape. Three fireplaces — including a stunning hand-built rock fireplace — anchor the main home.

🎨

Art & Music Studios

A dedicated art studio and a music studio built for creativity. This is a property for people who make things — and need space to do it well.

🧘

Wellness Sanctuary

Infrared sauna, yoga retreat area, and a sacred fire circle create an environment oriented toward restoration and contemplative practice.

☀️

Solar Power

Fully solar-powered with the system paid off at close of escrow — a meaningful advantage in today's energy market and a genuine sustainability asset.

🏡

Income-Producing

Proven rental history through Vacasa and Airbnb. The second home operates independently, giving you options for guests, family, or revenue.

🌲

Eleven Acres of Privacy

Foothill terrain with natural separation from the world. Space for horses, gardens, outdoor events, or simply the kind of silence that's genuinely hard to find.

💧

30-Foot Waterfall

A stunning 30-foot waterfall sits just a ten-minute walk from the property — a private natural landmark that makes every hike feel like a discovery.

This property has a genuine dual-income story. The guest house operates independently as a legal ADU, meaning it can generate rental income year-round — even while you're in residence in the main home.

With proven short-term rental history through Vacasa and Airbnb, the groundwork is already in place. A buyer can step into an established operation rather than building one from scratch.

Solar system paid off at close — no ongoing energy debt
Managed rental history with Vacasa — operational infrastructure in place
Two legal residences on one parcel — exceptional flexibility
Proximity to Yosemite drives year-round rental demand
Price reduced twice — sellers are motivated
Zestimate: $944,400 — asking price close to estimated value
