Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a true piece of Sierra City history. Tucked away at the end of a quiet street in the desirable Lewis Track neighborhood, this one-of-a-kind vertical log cabin offers privacy, charm, and a deep connection to the area's rich heritage. Built in the traditional Swedish style of vertical logs an uncommon construction method in the United States-each log was harvested by hand from this very hillside by the family's grandfather. The vertical orientation allows moisture to drain naturally with the wood grain, providing lasting durability in the region's heavy snowfall conditions. The family's craftsmanship can still be seen throughout the community, including the historic cabins at Sardine Lake Resort, the fishing cabins at Packer Lake Lodge, the rock wall parking lot in town with its giant rose quartz, the Sierra City fire station, and the Buckhorn's original beer garden. Mention this cabin to a longtime local, and you may hear a few unforgettable stories tied to its past. Set on a level, usable lot with storage sheds, the property also boasts coveted river frontage with private access directly from the backyard. The cozy yet bright interior offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with one bedroom, one full bath, and a loft ideal for additional sleeping space or flexible use. A charming fireplace anchors the living room, creating the perfect setting to relax after a day outdoors. Step onto the back deck overlooking the river and unwind to the peaceful sound of flowing water beneath the towering pines. Just minutes from downtown Sierra City and a short drive to the Lakes Basin Recreation Area and the Pacific Crest Trail, this property is perfectly suited as a mountain getaway, year-round recreation basecamp, off-grid retreat, homestead, or future family compound. The neighboring 2.7-acre parcel is also available from a family member for buyers seeking additional space and possibilities. The Sierra City community is fiercely independent, filled with kind-hearted and hard-working people. Here, you can enjoy complete solitude when desired, while still finding friendly conversation and small-town warmth just down the road. Though the family is saddened to part with this beloved cabin, they know its story is far from overand that its next owners will create lasting memories within these remarkable vertical log walls.
