240 Shay Creek Road, Markleeville, CA

About This Property

Here's a rare chance to own a very nice, fully furnished cabin in the woods! Cozy, comfortable, recently updated, and well-maintained, it features a large deck perfect for enjoying the peace and serenity of the area. The living room offers an efficient wood-burning fireplace insert with ledger stone surround and a vaulted pecky cedar ceiling. The kitchen comes with new hickory cabinets and countertop, new stainless sink and faucet, range, freestanding microwave, and a full-sized refrigerator. There's a full bathroom with a stall shower, and upstairs you'll find a welcoming spacious sleeping loft. Recent upgrades include new flooring, a ledger stone fireplace with woodstove insert, two double-pane windows, fresh exterior paint in 2026, a new screen door, and a Trex deck. Located in the Shay Creek neighborhood near Grover Hot Springs, this "summer home" area has community well water from late April or early May through October or November, depending on weather. While you can enjoy the cabin year-round, it cannot be occupied as a permanent residence. Off-season requires bringing your own water, though a private well may be possible (to be confirmed with Alpine County). No winter snow removal is allowed on Shay Creek Road, but it's just a short snowshoe from the main road. Nearby are fishing spots, hiking trails, natural hot springs, and the charming downtown Markleeville with restaurants and a general store. Close to Lake Tahoe, Carson Valley, and many lakes, plus world-class skiing and endless forest service land for outdoor adventures.

MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.
