This charming mountain retreat in Alta Sierra is on the market for the first time after 53 years. Built in 1973 by a longtime Ridgecrest family, this cozy family cabin has been lovingly maintained and treasured for generations. Just 48 miles from Bakersfield; 68 miles from Ridgecrest; and a two hour drive from Los Angeles, it offers the perfect escape from the city. The home features beamed ceilings and an open floor plan with four spacious bedrooms, a loft, and three bathrooms, making it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Parking spots are numerous, providing ample space for vehicles and toys. At the heart of the home are two striking wood-burning fireplaces, crafted from local Kissack Cove stone, adding warmth and character. The wrought iron stairwell, designed by engineers from the nearby naval base—friends of the family—adds a unique architectural touch. The kitchen features all the modern amenities, including a restaurant-style griddle, which makes preparing meals for large groups effortless. Step outside onto the expansive deck, which overlooks the lush pine, cedar and oak trees, providing a serene backdrop for outdoor relaxation. Enjoy nearby Lake Isabella, hiking and biking, and skiing. Alta Sierra is renowned for its peaceful ambiance, scenic beauty, and affordability—perfect as a second home or vacation rental. The spacious basement offers endless possibilities, already plumbed for a bathroom and hot tub, ready for your personal finishing touches—one of the most cost-effective opportunities to increase your usable sq footage. Newer roof and tankless water heater, new furnace, and furniture included, makes this home move-in ready. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of a mountain paradise with a rich history and incredible potential. This home qualifies for a USDA loan—100% financing, with no money down.
