About This Property
Welcome to private PlaVada! Nestled in the heart of the Sierra and tucked back from the road, this dainty mountain cabin is the perfect solo full-time cabin or ski getaway, with 4 seasons of adventure right out your door! Whether it's skiing, climbing, hiking or biking off historic Old 40/Lincoln Hwy, or just getting back to nature, this is the place! Offered turn-key, this cozy charmer has both a woodstove plus a pellet stove. It has everything you need in a compact space, and accommodates guests and gear. Wood walls throughout give it a classic cabin vibe. Loft bedroom with vaulted ceilings and separate entrance that backs to the common area/trails. Leave this as an ADU and build a new home over a garage closer to the road. Private part of Conifer Drive with the Yuba River across the street. Boreal, Royal Gorge, Sugar Bowl, Woodward, Donner Ski Ranch are all nearby. The crystal-clear waters of Donner Lake and the vibrant dining and shopping of historic Downtown Truckee are just a short, scenic drive away. Or maybe your fun involves a motor! Ride your snowmobile or side-by-side to access miles of trails and the backcountry right from your backyard. Annual HOA dues provide street snow removal and maintenance, water and sewer, plus exclusive resident access to two swimming and fishing holes along the South Yuba River. Ideally positioned on Donner Summit with a significantly shorter commute to start your weekend early in this crisp mountain air surrounded by pine trees. Short-term rentals allowed with required annual PlaVada + Nevada County registration for all STR's. Disclosures + Inspections available. Come see for yourself what PlaVada has to offer!

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.
STR Investment Analysis
STR analysisHome Insurance Estimate
California FAIR Plan fire policy + a DIC wrap policy, the usual Tahoe setup
Estimate from this ZIP's California FAIR Plan rates (Plan data as of 6/30/2026, with the 29.1% increase effective 10/15/2026) on an estimated rebuild cost, plus a DIC policy at 20–40% of the FAIR premium. Not a bindable quote; a local broker quote depends on the home's age, roof, defensible space and claims history.
