*Significant price improvement* Charming cabin nestled among towering pines on the scenic Highway 20. This beautifully updated cabin retreat offers the perfect balance of privacy, accessibility, and mountain charm. Located less than 10 minutes from historic downtown Nevada City and just past the well-known 5 Mile House landmark, the property provides a true forest sanctuary while keeping you close to town, local shops, and year-round outdoor recreation. Enjoy easy access to the Pioneer Trail, which runs directly across from the property and is ideal for hiking, biking, and equestrian adventures. Spend your weekends exploring Scotts Flat Reservoir or the crystal-clear South Yuba River, both a short drive away. At roughly 4,000ft, you'll experience light to moderate snowfall in winter and warm summers beneath the forest canopy. Inside, the cabin showcases an open layout with a large stone chimney, updated flooring, a refreshed kitchen, and an updated tile bathroom. Beautiful, large sliding glass doors in the bedroom open to a private deck overlooking serene woodlands. Perfect for morning coffee, reading, or evening barbecues under the trees. A detached two-car garage offers ample storage for vehicles, tools, or workshop space, as well as a seperate shed. So much potential for your dream, cozy cabin is here.
