Description
Rare opportunity awaits to own a slice of paradise with coveted Merced River frontage in El Portal, nestled just outside the iconic Yosemite National Park. Few parcels along this majestic river are available for private ownership, and even fewer boast the size and historical richness of this gem, which has been cherished for over 80 years and is now up for grabs. Encompassing just under 5 acres, this property boasts a diverse array of structures, including a stick-built home, an old barn, and the old logging superintendent's house, perched right on the riverbank. The echoes of history resonate through every inch of this land, as evidenced by the remnants of the old railroad, now transformed into an incline road that traverses through its heart. Beyond the nostalgia lies endless potential, beckoning dreamers, visionaries, and nature enthusiasts alike. As if the allure of the riverfront haven wasn't enough, the deal sweetens with an additional 18+ acres, complete with an intriguing old mine nestled higher up the mountain, adding yet another layer of allure to this once-in-a-lifetime offering.
