La Casa is the honeymooners gateway to the gold country and high sierras. Visit lacasaestrellas dot com for more photos. Private 20 acres at 4500 elevation is a luxurious mountain experience equipped with modern amenities. We are child and pet-friendly. Fabulous views perfect for a romantic getaway or friendly gathering.
I looked in 4 counties for over two years to find a site that was minutes to the store and yet completely private. Within one hour you can do world class hiking, biking, sightseeing and ski, golf or simply lounge. The warm interior has rich colors and two baths, one copper and travertine; the other glass and granite. The open living-dining floor plan has a fireplace ambiance to watch the snow fall and the changing skies over Yosemite and the Dardanelles. See chair 7 of Dodge Ridge from the couch! We are an eco friendly self contained solar home on septic and potable well but with high tech amenities like hi speed WiFi and radiant heating. Attached covered garage and completely stocked gourmet cook's kitchen.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Hi, I am a veterinarian and artist who dreamed and built a fabulous glass house in the forest on a private 20 acres.
Why the Owner Chose Twain Harte
I looked for two years in 5 counties before I found a site with all these things and fabulous changing weather as well. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the Sierra Nevadas
The Unique Benefits of this Deluxe House
Privacy, quiet, serenity, animal life and wonderful hiking are outside the doorstep. Walk up to the forest service lookout or down to the stream that runs at the base of Mountain Elizabeth or venture out to the Emigrant Wilderness, Dodge Ridge, the Gold Country or Yosemite
