Live the Yellowstone Dream - Without Leaving California. Forget the Dutton Ranch - this high-country sanctuary rivals the legendary Yellowstone homestead with its timeless craftsmanship, rugged elegance, and soul-stirring mountain setting. Masterfully built in 2012 by acclaimed local builder Justin Dollar, this 3,939 sq ft log chalet is a true architectural triumph - nestled on a rare, level corner lot in the coveted Blue Lake Springs community. Fully furnished and move-in ready, this legacy retreat is within close proximity to private lakes, the Blue Lake Springs recreation center, Sequoia Woods Golf Course, and the charming mountain town of Arnold - offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. And unlike Lake Tahoe's traffic-heavy journey, you can arrive at this spectacular mountain lodge from the Bay Area in under 3 hours, compared to over 5 hours to Tahoe - giving you more time to relax and less time on the road. Step inside and be captivated by soaring vaulted ceilings, a wall of wood-framed windows, and a majestic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a gas log insert - anchoring the great room with warmth and rustic elegance. The open-concept design invites effortless entertaining, with the great room extending onto a spacious deck - ideal for morning coffee or evenings under the stars. The chef's kitchen is a statement in itself, boasting leathered black granite countertops, a custom mountain-scape backsplash, and hand-selected finishes. The main level features a full guest bath, a generous mud/laundry room with direct garage access, a serene primary suite with a full bath, and a welcoming guest bedroom. Upstairs, a sunlit loft offers a cozy reading nook or office space, while a vaulted bonus room provides flexible space for a game room, media lounge, or extra sleeping quarters. Two generously sized upstairs bedrooms each feature their own private ensuite baths - offering guests ultimate comfort and seclusion. Every bathroom showcases sophisticated tilework, Torreon Travertine slab countertops, and dual vanities. Additional features include a presidential roof, whole-house 20 kW Generac generator, central heating with pre-installed ductwork for easy A/C addition, spa hookups, abundant storage, and a freshly stained deck ready for summer gatherings.
