About This Property

Set on a large, private lot backing to California conservation land, 2543 Cold Creek Trail offers a rare sense of space, light, and natural beauty. This home is filled with abundant natural light and showcases an open floor plan with expansive windows designed to capture the surrounding views. Interior improvements were completed in 2021, including an updated bathroom, along with practical upgrades such as a tankless hot water heater and combi-boiler. A roof replacement in 2007 adds peace of mind, while the attached bonus space located on the right side of the home could be a possible ADU (buyer to verify).This is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, views, and future flexibility.

The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
