Tucked away in the peaceful mountain community of Arnold, California, 2895 Ponderosa offers a rare chance to own your own private forest retreat. Set on 6 beautiful acres, this charming cabin blends cozy mountain character, vintage charm, and exciting future potential. At approximately 900 square feet, this adorable 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin is the perfect size for a weekend getaway, starter mountain home, or basecamp while you dream and plan for something larger. Step onto the welcoming front porch, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and feel the pace of life begin to slow. Inside, the cabin is warm, inviting, and full of character. Hardwood floors, vintage doors, and classic details add timeless appeal, while the gas-burning wood stove creates a cozy place to gather after a day of hiking, skiing, wine tasting, or exploring the Sierra Nevada. The kitchen features a classic Wedgewood cook stove, bringing a touch of vintage charm to the heart of the home. The bathroom offers a clawfoot tub, slate shower, and the convenience of an on-demand water heater. What makes this property truly special is the land. Six acres in Arnold is a rare find, offering privacy, trees, fresh mountain air, and the feeling of having your very own forest. Imagine quiet mornings with coffee on the porch, peaceful walks through your property, evenings under the stars, and the freedom to create the mountain retreat you have always wanted. The existing cabin is served by a 3-bedroom septic system, offering exciting possibilities for future expansion. Enjoy the cabin as it is, expand over time, or explore the potential to build a larger cabin or additional retreat space, subject to county approval. Located near Big Trees State Park, high-country recreation, hiking, lakes, wine tasting, skiing, and the charm of the Highway 4 corridor, 2895 Ponderosa is more than a cabin it is a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and create your own mountain legacy. Small cabin. Big land. Endless possibilities.
