Discover the Historic Legacy of the McKay Clipper Mill on Love Creek - Right in Your Backyard. In the late 1800s, the rugged Sierra Nevada around what is now the Love Creek Area, with the sound of one of Calaveras County's most ambitious lumber operations: the legendary McKay Clipper Mill on Love Creek. In 1885, brothers Nathan and John McKay, pioneering loggers from Nova Scotia, purchased 160 acres of prime timberland on Love Creek (just a mile south of the Calaveras Big Trees) for $800. They built the Clipper Mill, named in honor of their relative Donald C. McKay, the renowned builder of famous American clipper ships. The land held one of the heaviest stands of sugar pine in the region. The McKays harvested more than 15 million board feet of premium lumber, 70% of which was sugar pine, making them the largest lumber producers in the county at the time. They even constructed their own railroad to haul massive logs (some measuring up to 11 feet in girth) from the deep woods to the mill. The operation ran successfully for over 18 years before closing in 1904 after the timber was exhausted. The spirit of that pioneering era lives on in every acre of this area. Your property, nestled in the same historic Love Creek neighborhood, sits amid the very forests that fueled California's early growth. Today, the same towering pines and pristine mountain setting that inspired the McKays offer you unmatched privacy, sweeping views, and a direct connection to the region's rich logging heritage, while delivering modern luxury with easy access to Arnold, Murphys, and Angels Camp, and the entrance to this coveted community. Enjoy a 3-bedroom Chalet, a historic one-bedroom cabin with a kitchen built in 1880, and a small log cabin on a site steeped in authentic Gold Country and lumber-baron history. This isn't just real estate, it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Calaveras County's storied past in one of its most beautiful and desirable locations.
