Tucked away behind a private locked gate in the peaceful enclave of Heart Meadow not far from Big Meadows Campground 5 at roughly 8,000 feet elevation this rare historic cabin offers a crisp high-country escape surrounded by lush wildflower-filled views where common summer days rarely exceed the comfortable 70s. Set on a ~0.6-acre USFS leased parcel, this cozy retreat sleeps up to six with a comfortable downstairs bedroom and a charming sleeping loft. Inside, the warmth of wood floors and a newer high-efficiency wood stove resting on a stone hearth compete with stainless chimney invite you to slow down, while modern conveniences like electricity, an electric water heater, landline phone connection, and a full bathroom with a shower stall ensure complete comfort in the woods. Carefully cared for and sold fully furnished complete with antiques, tools, and spare parts this turnkey getaway balances rustic charm with heavy-duty structural peace of mind. Major updates include a solid treated-concrete foundation, durable metal roof, updated wood siding, extensive snow cable and structural reinforcements engineered to withstand heavy winter snow loads, and an updated septic system. Water is supplied by an artesian spring with two storage tanks on the system, including an 1100-gallon covered storage tank designated exclusively for the upper five cabins in this tight-knit 10-cabin community. Outside, an old outhouse has been cleverly converted into extra storage space, and the yard offers a stunning view of the top of Shell Mountain. With Buck Rock Road just a short walk away, prime proximity to the Jennie Lakes Wilderness trails and Baldy Trailhead, and unlimited hiking and ATV exploring right from the cabin door, you can finish your day around the stone fire pit under star-filled skies. This cherished piece of mountain history is ready for its next chapter. This is a very rare find, call for an appointment today! Cabin located on leased government land. Sale includes the cabin/improvements only; land is not included. Buyer must be approved by the applicable government agency and assume the terms of the ground lease.
