You have come upon a true high Sierra hideout. Tucked away on a private mountainside clearing in the Alpine Peaks neighborhood of Tahoe City in Ward Canyon at the beginning of Tahoe's magical west shore. If you seek privacy, quiet, and backcountry adventure out your backdoor, then this could be your place. Warm woods, rich metals, striking stone, and open beams envelop you and delight the eye. The open floor plan is a beauty to behold. The unusually easy access and ample parking are a treat in such a setting. The rushing seasonal creek and lush mountainside setting surround the screened-in back spa deck and tantalize. You have to see it to believe it. Seller will review offers after Aug 29th.
