476 & 502 Aspen Lane | Tamarack, CA 3 Beds | 3 Baths | Approx. 1,800 Sq Ft | 1.43 Acres Total | National Forest Access | Offered Furnished | Built by Rotherham Perched atop a dramatic granite outcrop at the end of a quiet, paved road in the upper subdivision of Tamarack, this custom-built Rotherham retreat is a rare and remarkable offering in the high country. With panoramic Sierra views, unmatched privacy, and direct access to National Forest, this is the ultimate mountain compound. The approximately 1,800 sq ft home sits on 1.43 acres across two adjoining parcels: 476 Aspen Lane (0.75 acres) and 502 Aspen Lane (0.68 acres), being sold together as one. Backing to forest with no immediate neighbors, the property offers an extraordinary sense of space, serenity, and connection to nature. Inside, the thoughtfully designed layout features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including two ensuite bedrooms and a third bedroom with a charming staircase that leads to a loft, allowing the room alone to sleep six. The home is offered fully furnished with custom rustic pieces, creating a true turnkey mountain getaway. Since 2017, over $150K in upgrades have been completed, including: concrete siding, updated windows, custom hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, gas cooktop, new washer/dryer, updated sinks, low-flow toilets, and a heated garage, an uncommon luxury at this 7,100-foot elevation. Sections of the roof were replaced in 2021, and the expansive back deck was re-stained in 2024 with a new staircase offering direct access to the backyard and forest. The adjoining lot at 502 Aspen Lane has been thoughtfully improved with over $100K in stonework and granite blasting, creating a custom stone terrace and a massive wood-burning firepit, a natural amphitheater perfect for stargazing, storytelling, and year-round outdoor enjoyment.

Whether you're chasing powder or dirt, adventure starts the moment you roll out. A rare chance to own a beautifully curated, move-in-ready mountain property in one of the Sierra's most scenic and storied locations.
