Rare riverfront retreat with nearly 10 acres on the South Yuba River! Tucked behind a private gate in the peaceful Alpha Loop community, this mountain cabin offers a quiet escape with room to make it your own. The sale includes two parcels totaling 9.87 acres on both sides of the South Fork of the Yuba River, with approx. 600 feet of riverfront. Steps from the home is a dreamy swimming hole perfect for lounging on sun-warmed rocks and cooling off in the clear water. Ideal as a summer getaway or cozy ski basecamp, with trails and resorts nearby. The home features new living room windows, new carpet, updated bedrooms, and new tile in the primary bath. The loft could easily be used as another bedroom and there is room under the house for a wine cellar or adding to the square footage. The screened in deck is a wonderful spot to take in the sound of the river. Starlink internet is available, making remote work easy. Local lore says the old stagecoach route from Washington to Truckee began right here on Alpha Loopa nod to the area's Gold Rush roots. Just minutes from the historic town of Washington (aka 'Littletown'), with its general store and riverside hotel bar and restaurant. Only 30 minutes from Nevada City. 16068 Maybert Rd (APN 64-100-40) is included in the sale.
