2798 Saint Moritz DR Arnold, CA 95223

Meet the Hodge Podge Lodge. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 1,335 square feet of single-level Sierra living on a private corner lot in the non-HOA section of Blue Lake Springs, and it comes with a personality that most new builds will never have. Pull up to a level circular driveway surrounded by mature pines and you already know this one is different. Step inside and the vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling opens up the great room, where a wood-burning stove anchored against a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked stone wall is the undeniable heart of the home. It glows like a campfire and heats the whole space like a dream. The open kitchen features a butcher block island, a hanging log-beam pot rack, and a window framing nothing but trees. The dining area is bright, generously sized, and ready for the kind of dinners that go late into the night. The primary suite feels like a mountain retreat within a retreat, with a log bed frame, natural branch accents, soft light, and that special quiet you only get when you're tucked into the pines. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and ready to sleep a crowd, making this the perfect base camp for families, friend groups, or the vacation rental market. Select furnishings included, seller to confirm. Accessible via a private exterior rear entrance secured by a solid metal door, a 900 sq ft unfinished basement with water and power roughed in represents nearly the same footprint as the entire main level above. The opportunity to develop that space and effectively double your square footage is rare at this price point. Workshop, game room, guest quarters, gear storage. Your imagination runs the show down here. Directly across St. Moritz are trailheads leading into the magnificent Sierra Nevada backcountry. Coffee on the porch. Boots on the trail. No HOA to answer to. Corner lot. Circular drive. Priced to move.
