This property is zoned Community Commercial (CC) and cannot be a single-family residence. The CC zoning creates an exciting opportunity for a variety of commercial and community-serving uses. Potential uses, subject to county approval, could include a boutique caf, restaurant, bed & breakfast, retail shop, creative studio, salon/spa, school, church or other community gathering destination. The schoolhouse retains remarkable historic character, including its original bell tower and bell, tall windows, vintage woodwork, spacious open hall, kitchen, 1 full bath and 2 half baths. Landscaped grounds and a private parking lot add valuable flexibility. Historic character without necessarily being a formally registered historic property. The Sellers have been unable to locate a historical registration for the schoolhouse, which may provide a future owner greater flexibility to reimagine and adapt the property, subject to applicable county requirements and approvals. Located in one of the Sierra Foothills' premier outdoor destinations, Lotus offers whitewater rafting, kayaking, camping, vineyards, orchards, farms, eco-tourism, and a growing farm-to-fork and wine culture.
