High Sierra Resort Property Gerle Meadows - 320± Acres
$1,900,000
Located about 2 miles from Loon Lake just outside Desolation
Wilderness and about 15 miles (as the crow flies) from Lake Tahoe, lies
a pristine section of the Tahoe National Forest rich with history.
Accessed by newly paved Wentworth Springs Road from Georgetown or Ice
Lakes Road off Highway 50, the property lies at about 6000 feet in
elevation. The road is paved to within 100 yards of the property line.
In winter, Ice Lakes Road is plowed to the Loon Lake turnoff, within 5
miles of the property.
Gerle Creek, a 20-30'wide year-round stream, runs through the
property, and is filled with numerous swimming and fishing
opportunities. Gerle Falls, just off the property, is an excellent hike
destination for the whole family. Gerle Meadows' claim to fame is that
it's situated at the original entrance of the famed Rubicon Trail. In
fact, the Rubicon Trail runs through the property and thus would be
perfect for an adventurous 4 wheel drive enthusiast who desires to run
the Rubicon Trail on a regular basis. Here's a link to more information
on this historic trail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubicon_Trail.
Much of the property is level, which is a rare find in the Sierras.
It is filled with quaking aspen groves, towering pines, rock
outcroppings and mountain views as far as the eye can see. There is also
a picturesque log cabin, a rustic yet functional place to camp. The
property is zoned TPZ (El Dorado County APN 010-020-15) and is likely
able to be split into two parcels. The zoning also allows for multiple
uses for this Sierra Nevada treasure: cattle ranch, timber production,
corporate retreat or campground, just to name a few. Property taxes on
TPZ land are minimal. Private showings are available for serious buyers
who are able to substantiate their financial capability.
