A true mountain gem on a large, level lot with private lake access! This home shines with recent upgrades throughout, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, electrical panel, roof with insulation, and flooring. Stay cozy with a wood-burning stove in the living room plus a (new) pellet stove in the spacious open loft, which also features a half bath. Entry-level living offers a bedroom and full bath, inviting living room, beautiful kitchen, and laundry room. A covered back porch provides dry access to the two-car garage during winter months. Step out your back door to endless Forest Service roads and trails--just a short stroll to mountain adventure. Plenty of room to park a large RV, boat, more toys and still have room for extra vehicles. County-maintained roads make year-round access easy. There is so much to love about this special property and its unbeatable location. Lake access to the private Cedar Ridge lake is an optional yearly fee. Located 15 minutes from Twain Harte, 20 minutes to Sonora, 40 minutes to Pinecrest Lake and Dodge Ridge.
