Property Description
You've found it! Reasonably priced and needs work! This is the one you've been waiting for. Discover the charm and potential of this rustic cabin located on 5.4 acres within the private Big Prather Meadow Preserve. Nestled at 7,200 feet in elevation in the Stanislaus National Forest, this off-grid retreat offers seclusion, fresh mountain air, and a chance to create your own high-country getaway. The existing cabin measures approximately 14x13 with a loft and sits on a near-level, easily accessible lot ideal for expansion or additional structures. The property needs cleanup and restoration, but with some vision and TLC, the views and setting will reward your effort. Bring your camp stove, toothbrush, and sleeping bag! The cabin is ready for someone to bring it back to life. Big Prather Meadow Preserve is a gated, fenced subdivision of approximately 100 parcels (5-acre minimums), designed for those who love privacy, nature, and a truly off-the-grid lifestyle. Located about 18 miles from Dorrington along the Highway 4 corridor, this community is surrounded by towering pines, meadows, and abundant wildlife. If you've been searching for a one-of-a-kind mountain property where you can get away from it all, this is a truly extraordinary opportunity. Shown by appointment only-must be escorted in. Contact the listing agent for details.
