Property Description
Tucked away in the quiet mountain community of Caliente (Twin Oaks area), just off the highway in a secluded canyon setting, sits a rare and versatile property centered around a true piece of local history: the old Twin Oaks Schoolhouse, now home to the successful Schoolhouse Grill.
Built in 1935 as the Twin Oaks School, this classic country schoolhouse once educated the children of local ranchers and their families (enrollment peaked around 42 students in the mid-1930s and included notable local Kawaiisu elders among its pupils). It operated until the early 1960s, when the district merged. The building later became the Twin Oaks General Store and has operated continuously as a beloved local gathering spot. Since 2021 it has thrived as the Schoolhouse Grill--a well-known destination for comfort food, burgers, pizza, and more, drawing both locals and travelers who make the scenic drive for its unique atmosphere and reputation.
The approximately 2,600 sq ft restaurant features a full commercial kitchen, dining areas, bar, and restrooms--ready for continued operation or a new vision. The property spans a usable 3.14 acres of mostly flat land and is zoned for commercial, residential, and agricultural uses, giving the next owner exceptional flexibility.
Two additional dwellings expand the possibilities:
A 1918 ADU of 641 sq ft (2 bedroom + 1 bath)
A 1950 ADU of 828 sq ft (1 bedroom + 1 bath)
These units offer excellent potential for owner/operator housing, staff housing, short-term rentals, or additional income streams. The property is served by its own private well.
With its combination of a proven restaurant business, historic character, multi-use zoning, private water, two living units, and generous flat acreage in a peaceful mountain setting, this is a standout opportunity for an investor, restaurateur, or lifestyle buyer looking for something truly unique in Ke The Schoolhouse Grill has already built a loyal following--now it's ready for its next chapter.
