Offered for the very first time, this vintage Lake Mont Pines chalet has been lovingly owned by the same family since it was built in 1969. With its soaring pine-vaulted ceilings, dramatic window wall looking out to the trees and a seasonal creek, and a cozy wood-burning stove anchoring the living room, it radiates all the charm of a classic 70's mountain cabin. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, while upstairs you'll find a private third bedroom with skylight, balcony, ensuite bath, and a small loft overlooking the great room. Set on a rare .55-acre mostly level lot - larger than average for the area - this home is a true blank canvas ready for your vision. Vintage details remain intact, offering the perfect opportunity to restore its mid-century chalet character or update it into a modern retreat. The location is unbeatable: directly across the street from one of the main trailheads to the Arnold Rim Trail, with miles of hiking and biking into the Stanislaus National Forest right at your doorstep. Lake Mont Pines' private lake is also within walking distance, where members enjoy swimming, fishing, and summer activities. For those looking for more space, the adjoining .72-acre lot is also available for purchase, with the buyer of the cabin given first right of refusal. Together, the two parcels create a one-of-a-kind 1.27-acre corner property with a seasonal creek running through the middle - an incredible chance to secure unmatched privacy in one of Arnold's most desirable mountain communities. Bring your imagination and make this timeless chalet your mountain escape!
