1890 Michele Way

Nestled deep within the highly desirable community of Blue Lake Springs in Arnold, California, this classic mid-century cabin offers the ultimate blend of rustic nostalgia, architectural character, and open-concept functionality. Positioned along the Highway 4 Ebbetts Pass Scenic Byway, this exceptional residence serves as a premier basecamp for four-season recreation and mountain solitude. Constructed in 1966, the cabin features time-tested post-and-beam construction. The cabin sits on approximately 0.37 acres amid towering, mature evergreens forming a dense, natural canopy overhead, providing excellent shade during peak summer afternoons. Sturdy, dual wooden staircases flank the property, providing various entry points to the outdoor living spaces and ensuring smooth circulation for large groups of guests arriving with mountain gear. Stepping inside reveals an interior teeming with authentic mid-century character and mountain charm. Heavy, dark-stained solid timber beams cross the ceilings, creating a beautiful visual anchor and emphasizing the home's hand-crafted aesthetic. The spacious, sun-drenched main living room centers around a magnificent floor-to-ceiling natural stone fireplace. Large, view-facing panoramic windows flank the room, framing the surrounding pine forest like living artwork. The culinary space is centered around a large, custom-built kitchen island topped with durable square ceramic tiles. The island serves as a vibrant social hub, offering casual breakfast bar seating. A massive, wraparound wooden deck extends from the front and side elevations of the cabin, exponentially expanding the home's functional square footage. The deck features a permanent, integrated L-shaped wooden bench built right into the perimeter railing system. One of the most valuable aspects of owning 1890 Michele Way is its official inclusion within the premier Blue Lake Springs Homeowners Association. Residents gain full access to amenities including the Snowflake Lodge recreation area and Blue Lake Bistro. Perfectly located to enjoy the best destinations and premier recreation in Arnold and Calaveras County, this cabin provides easy access to Sequoia Woods Country Club, a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course, Bear Valley Mountain Resort, a premier big-mountain ski and ride experience for all levels, Calaveras Big Trees State Park with two magnificent groves of giant sequoias and historic gold-rush towns like Murphys and Angels Camp.
