Sierra Hot Springs Resort in CA — Updated Listing

Historic Geothermal Resort Portfolio in Sierraville, CA

A truly rare opportunity awaits to acquire Sierra Hot Springs, a fully operational and historically significant geothermal hot spring resort on 682 acres in Sierraville, California. This is one of the very few operational hot springs properties offered for sale in the United States, and the offering is a portfolio: the resort is joined by the historic Globe Hotel in downtown Sierraville and the Sierra Valley Lodge in Calpine. Commercial use of the springs has been grandfathered in since the 1800s, so existing operations continue as-is, while the acreage and zoning leave room for master planning and growth.

The property sits in the wide-open Sierra Valley with panoramic meadow and mountain views, just two minutes from the county airstrip, about 35 minutes from Truckee and close to Lake Tahoe.
