Description
Welcome to historic Donner Summit and PRIVACY! Located in the private enclave of PlaVada—with short-term rentals allowed and Airbnb history available—this cabin is your ultimate basecamp for adventure. Ideally positioned on the "near side" of the summit, it offers a significantly shorter commute from the Bay Area, allowing you to bypass Truckee traffic and start your weekend early. Relax and recover from playing all day in the hot tub under the covered entry. Tucked back on a cul-de-sac, you can ride your snowmobile or quad to access miles of trails and the backcountry right from your backyard. In the summer, enjoy exclusive resident access to two swimming and fishing holes along the South Yuba River. While you’ll enjoy total seclusion, the crystal-clear waters of Donner Lake and the vibrant dining of downtown Truckee are just a short, scenic drive away. This mountain sanctuary features a snow-friendly floorplan with cathedral ceilings, a primary suite barn door, a freestanding gas stove, and an on-demand hot water heater. Two propane tanks provide meaningful winter protection. Perfectly positioned for the outdoor enthusiast, you are minutes from Sugar Bowl, Royal Gorge, and Boreal, and conveniently close to the TTUSD Elementary School for full-time residents. PlaVada HOA (annual dues=$3,290): plowed streets, water, sewer (master septic) + Yuba River access. Plenty of parking on the property. Driveway is currently shared, and snow removal cost is split with neighbor. Short-term rental registration with PlaVada HOA and Nevada County required for all STR's. Seller cannot close escrow until July 6, 2026 - enquire with Agent for details. Camera present on deck.
