The story
Mountain living is easy at 2601 Fairway Drive, a beautifully updated cabin tucked among the trees in Arnold. Whether escaping the Bay Area for the weekend or settling into the mountains full-time, this turnkey retreat combines classic Sierra character with the modern comforts that make it easy to arrive, unpack and start enjoying the mountains. A concrete driveway leads to an oversized two-car carport with plenty of covered parking and room for your mountain toys. Inside, warm wood ceilings and exposed beams set the cabin tone, complemented by engineered hardwood flooring and dual-pane windows framing the surrounding forest. A propane stove creates a cozy gathering place on winter evenings, while mini-split systems in the living areas and bedrooms provide efficient heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The updated kitchen features hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a propane range. Both bathrooms have also been thoughtfully updated. The main-level bath offers a tiled walk-in shower with glass enclosure, updated vanity and radiant heated tile flooring which is especially welcome on a crisp mountain morning. Upstairs, the second bath features a charming clawfoot soaking tub and updated vanity. Outside, an expansive wraparound deck creates plenty of space to dine, entertain or simply relax beneath the trees. After an afternoon skiing at Bear Valley, come home and sink into the spa under the forest canopy, or spend a summer evening enjoying the cool mountain air. A whole-house Generac generator adds extra convenience and peace of mind. Access to the Arnold Rim Trail is nearby for miles of hiking and mountain biking, while Arnold's shops and restaurants are just minutes away. Historic downtown Murphys is approximately 15 minutes down the road for dining, wine tasting and boutique shopping, and Bear Valley is approximately 35 minutes up Highway 4 for skiing, snow play and summertime adventures among the alpine lakes and trails of the Ebbetts Pass corridor. Comfortable, updated and ready to enjoyjust drop your bags and get straight to the good part of mountain living.
