Offered for the first time since 1996, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic Alpine Meadows ski chalet together with the adjacent vacant parcel, creating one of the most unique legacy offerings in the valley. Situated on one of Alpine Meadows' largest homesites, the property enjoys an exceptionally private setting within one of the community's few neighborhoods with underground utilities—preserving open mountain views and the area's natural beauty. Bordered by a year-round stream, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain retreat is tucked into a lush alpine landscape unlike much of the Tahoe basin, where seasonal creeks and drier terrain are more common. Expansive rear deck overlooks the water creating an idyllic setting to enjoy the soothing sound of the stream, fresh mountain air, and spectacular views in every season. Designed in 1977 by architect David Tucker, the home embodies the enduring character of Tahoe's golden era of skiing. Its distinctive mountain architecture, warm wood interiors, soaring ceilings, and classic wood-burning stove capture the nostalgic spirit that made Alpine Meadows one of California's most celebrated ski communities. Throughout the years, the home has welcomed some of Tahoe's legendary ski personalities, adding another chapter to its rich mountain heritage. Outdoor recreation begins at your doorstep with immediate access to hiking and biking trails. During ski season, leave the car behind and take the convenient mountain shuttle to the lifts, while experienced skiers will appreciate the rare opportunity to ski home after a day on the mountain. Recent improvements include a freshly stained exterior, newly painted interior, new bedroom carpeting, and new luxury vinyl flooring throughout the entry and lower level. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, the home is ready to enjoy immediately while providing an exceptional opportunity to thoughtfully renovate or expand into a truly extraordinary mountain estate. Whether you're searching for a classic Tahoe ski cabin, a retreat to enjoy for generations, or an investment in one of Alpine Meadows' most coveted locations, this offering is exceptionally rare. Combined with the adjacent parcel, it presents a unique opportunity to preserve privacy, protect views, or create an even larger legacy property. Wake to panoramic mountain vistas, unwind to the gentle sound of the year-round stream, and become part of the next chapter of one of Alpine Meadows' most cherished homes.

Alpine Meadows Estates, located between Sunnyside and Tahoe City, is a lakeside and mountain-oriented Sunnyside-Tahoe City neighborhood with a pine-lined setting and quick-to-change alpine light. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the West Lake Blvd and Sunnyside Rd junction, where lakefront patios, a classic lodge feel, and marina activity set the tone. Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge, Firesign Cafe, and Tahoe City Winter Sports Park act as familiar local pillars. Architecture leans to wood-and-stone cabins and contemporary mountain homes with deep decks and tall windows. Daily rhythms follow shoreline walks, bike rides, and winter drives toward ski terrain. The geography reads as a narrow band between the lake and steep forested slopes.
