MLS# 226043828 - 2167 Dardanelle Vista, Dorrington, CA 95223

Tucked away like a secret in the mountains, this charming hideout sits right on the edge of Big Trees Village State Park, home to awe-inspiring giant sequoias that have been standing tall for 1,000 to 2,000 years (and a few legendary elders pushing 4,000!). Step out of your backyard and onto trails made for adventure, whether you're hiking, trail running, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or mountain biking. Inside, the vibe is pure alpine magic. This classic open-loft chalet shows off soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and dramatic windows that let the outdoors pour in. The main level offers two cozy bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright, open great room where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces come together for easy living and entertaining. Head upstairs to find an airy sleeping loft plus a dreamy primary suite with its own bath and private deck; your personal retreat after a day in the mountains. Down on the garage level, there's a versatile recreation room with luxury vinyl flooring (currently doubling as extra sleeping space), a handy half bath/laundry combo, and a single-car garage. And the upgrades? Already handled. Think: a fresh front deck and stairs (Feb 2022), new roof (May 2022), updated HVAC and A/C (Oct 2022), a newly converted rec room (May 2023), and a crisp new stain and paint job (July 2024). There's even an electric car charger, so your ride stays as juiced up as your spirit! When you're ready to explore beyond your woodland haven, you're close to year-round fun: skiing at Bear Valley, paddling or fishing at Lake Alpine, or wandering around Spicer and Utica Reservoirs. Plus, the Big Trees Village Property Owners Association offers optional membership to the recreation center for even more ways to play. Mountain magic, modern comfort, and adventure at your doorstep, this one's a rare find.
