Welcome to Placerville — one of Idaho’s hidden historic mountain towns where serenity, adventure, and opportunity meet. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in a community of roughly 48 residents, this 931 sq ft cabin sits surrounded by forest, mountain air, and the kind of peaceful quiet that is getting harder to find. The structure is ready for restoration and currently has no bathroom, bedrooms, or kitchen, offering a true blank canvas for someone with vision. Water, septic, and power are already on site — a huge advantage for investors, builders, or contractors looking to create a mountain getaway, weekend retreat, or unique project property. Placerville sits at approximately 4,324 ft in elevation and is surrounded by Idaho recreation including hiking, wildlife, and fishing along the Payette River. The breathtaking Ponderosa Pine Scenic Byway runs nearby, making every drive feel like a postcard. The town itself offers a small small grocery store along with a visitor center and seasonal museum that celebrate the area’s rich Idaho history. Whether you’re looking to restore a rustic cabin, build a basecamp for adventure, a hunting camp or create a peaceful mountain escape, this property is full of potential. Bring your imagination, your tools, and your Idaho spirit — the mountains are calling.
