    What's special

    Mature treesPrivate creek accessOpen meadowsDramatic rock outcroppingsCustom residence
    Nestled in the scenic foothills of Tuolumne County, Buckeye Basecamp is a rare legacy property offering privacy, natural beauty, income potential, and extraordinary future development opportunities. This remarkable property features a custom residence, extensive usable land, a large Quonset hut/shop building (to be completed prior to COE), year-round creek including private swimming hole, and a proven short-term rental and event-use history. What truly sets this property apart is its exceptional long-term potential. According to the Tuolumne County General Plan, the property may be eligible for subdivision into parcels as small as approximately 2 acres on the south side of the creek and approximately 5 acres on the north side of the creek (buyer to verify all development potential with county authorities). This creates a unique opportunity for a future residential subdivision, family compound, boutique resort, retreat center, wellness destination, glamping development, or continued expansion as an income-producing hospitality property. Currently operated as a successful short-term rental retreat, the property offers the rare combination of immediate usability and long-term upside. Guests and visitors are drawn to the peaceful setting, mature trees, dramatic rock outcroppings, private creek access, 12 foot deep swimming hole, open meadows, and the sense of seclusion while still being within reach of Sonora and outdoor recreation destinations. The large Quonset hut/shop will provide flexible space for equipment storage, events, workshops, recreational use, or future development support. Multiple potential building sites throughout the property offer privacy, views, and development flexibility. Whether you are seeking a private Sierra retreat, an investment with substantial future potential, or a signature development opportunity, Buckeye Basecamp offers a truly uncommon combination of natural beauty, infrastructure, flexibility, and vision.
