Property details

About 499 Shay Creek Rd

Cute cabin in the woods backing up to forest service land! This neat home features an open and inviting great room lay out with cozy wood stove! The kitchen has ample storage and counter space. There are 2 decently sized bedrooms and the bathroom has a walk in shower. Outside, there is a deck, providing the perfect setting to take in the peace and serenity the area has to offer! This cabin is located in a neighborhood that is considered a "summer home" area because the community water system is available from approximately late April or the first of May through October or November (depending on the weather). You can enjoy your cabin year-round, but not as a permanent residence. During the off season, you would need to bring in your own water. There is no snow removal allowed on Shay Creek Road during the winter months, but from the main road, it would be only a short snowshoe in. Just a short walk to great fishing, numerous hiking trails, a waterfall and Grover's Hot Springs! Plus, quaint downtown Markleeville is just a few miles away with great restaurant options and a general store. Not far from Lake Tahoe and the Carson Valley, NV. Many nearby lakes, camping, world class skiing and endless forest service land right out your back door for outdoor recreation.
