Property Description
Located in the scenic Coloma-Lotus Valley, one of the Sierra Foothills' most celebrated outdoor destinations where you could own a piece of Gold Country history. An awesome opportunity to own the historic 1869 Uniontown Schoolhouse in the heart of Lotus, CA. This one acre property is surrounded by the South Fork of the American River, renowned for whitewater rafting and kayaking, and lies just one mile from Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, where gold was discovered in 1848. The area also offers riverfront camping, eco-tourism, vineyards, orchards, farms, and a thriving farm-to-fork and wine culture. Set on .99 acres, this 1,952 sq ft Victorian-era landmark offers an exceptional blend of history, character, and future potential. The original schoolhouse bell remains in the tower while the interior features tall windows, vintage woodwork, and a spacious open hall. The property includes 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, 2 half baths, and a kitchen with potential for residential or commercial appliances, providing flexibility for a variety of uses. With residential/commercial zoning and positioned in a high-traffic tourist area, this unique property offers possibilities for a creative studio, event venue, schoolhouse, boutique cafe, or other destination-oriented business. Buyer to confirm and subject to applicable county approvals. Landscaped grounds and a private parking lot add valuable flexibility. Whether you are an investor, entrepreneur, creative visionary, or preservation-minded buyer, this is a great opportunity to restore and reimagine a genuine piece of California Gold Country history in a beloved outdoor destination. LOVE Lotus!
