Submerged in the heart of Donner Summit, this remarkable property embodies mountain living at its most authentic. Steeped in history, the property was originally built as the dynamite tender’s cabin for Tunnel #6, a remarkable tie to the legacy of Donner Summit. Thoughtful updates have been added for a comfortable, modern outdoor lifestyle. The mountain character of the cabin is accentuated by the hand-stripped log posts, raw stone countertops, and exposed beams that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. The cozy open-concept floor plan with pellet fireplace is an ideal space for gathering after adventure-filled days. The expanded loft has been thoughtfully opened up to reveal beams and create additional sleeping or lounging space. The functional basement is an essential additional space for washer/dryer, gear storage, or ski tuning. The yard is naturally landscaped to merge with the alpine setting. Surrounded by the majestic Sierra peaks, adventure is literally at your doorstep. An unmatched location at the top of Donner Pass, within walking distance to ski resorts, alpine lakes, rock climbing and endless trail systems. Ski Sugar Bowl, explore Royal Gorge, or hike the Pacific Crest Trail right from your back door. Lovingly maintained over the years, this one-of-a-kind property is ready for its next steward to enjoy. Whether you seek a year-round adventure basecamp or a historic Sierra retreat, the mountains are calling.
