Adding to the charm and historical intrigue, local lore says that the old stagecoach route between Washington and Truckee began right here on Alpha Loop — a nod to the area’s rich connection to California’s Gold Rush past.
Just minutes down the road is the quaint town of Washington, affectionately nicknamed “Littletown.” Founded in 1850 during the height of the Gold Rush, Washington became a bustling hub for miners. Today, it retains its small-town charm with a general store, a post office, and the historic Washington Hotel, which still serves meals and drinks on the back deck overlooking the river. The town’s welcoming community and preserved history make it a treasured piece of the Sierra foothills.
Located just 30 minutes from Nevada City, this is a truly unique opportunity to own a legacy property where memories can be made for generations.
16068 Maybert Rd (APN 64-100-40) is included in the sale.
