Experience the best of lakefront living at 15735 Donner Pass Road, Unit A, an exceptional waterfront residence within Donner Lake Village. Perfectly positioned just steps from the sandy shoreline, this beautifully renovated condominium offers approximately 1,978 square feet (per architectural plans), 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and an expansive lakefront Hot tub deck designed to capture breathtaking panoramic views of Donner Lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains. A rare advantage of this offering is the availability of a Town of Truckee Short-Term Rental permit for Building E. While new STR permits are currently unavailable, this availability provides the opportunity for significant rental income for future ownership (subject to applicable Town regulations). Thoughtfully redesigned with quality craftsmanship and timeless mountain style, the residence blends modern luxury with the relaxed charm of lakeside living. Soaring exposed beam ceilings create a dramatic sense of space, while walls of glass fill the great room with natural light and frame the ever-changing lake views. Rich wood finishes, premium materials, custom cabinetry, designer fixtures, a striking stone fireplace, and a copper pipe fire suppression system. Enjoy the inviting atmosphere for gathering with family and friends after a day on the water or the slopes. The spacious primary suite and guest accommodations provide comfort and privacy, while the spa-inspired bathrooms feature refined finishes and contemporary design. Every detail has been carefully selected to create a turnkey residence that is equally suited for weekend escapes, extended vacations, or seasonal living. Step outside onto the expansive lakefront deck where the centerpiece is a private hot tub overlooking Donner Lake. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, entertaining guests, or relaxing beneath the stars, this outdoor living space offers an extraordinary front-row seat to one of Truckee's most spectacular waterfront settings. Owners enjoy access to the outstanding amenities of Donner Lake Village, including a private sandy beach, gated lakefront access, pier and dock privileges for owners and guests, beautifully maintained lakeside grounds, kayak and paddleboard storage, and convenient seasonal boat storage and parking across the street. The community is professionally managed with on-site personnel, allowing owners to enjoy a carefree mountain lifestyle. Waterfront opportunities at Donner Lake are exceptionally limited, and residences within Donner Lake Village are rarely offered for sale. Many remain in the same families for generations or transfer privately before ever reaching the market. Combining an irreplaceable beachfront location, extensive renovations, exceptional amenities, and remarkable lifestyle appeal, 15735 Donner Pass Road, Unit A represents a truly rare opportunity to own one of Donner Lake's most desirable lakefront properties. Located just minutes from Historic Downtown Truckee, world-class skiing, championship golf, mountain biking, hiking trails, and year-round recreation, this residence places the very best of the Tahoe lifestyle within easy reach.

Donner Lake, located between Donner Pass Road and Interstate 80, is a lakeside and mountain Truckee neighborhood with a public beach and a pine-lined shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Donner Memorial State Park and the adjacent lakeside pullouts, where picnic tables, trailheads, and boat traffic set the tempo. Cabin-style homes and low-slung lake houses mix with newer builds, many oriented toward water views and winter snowpack. West End Beach anchors warm-weather lake days, while the Donner Lake Rim Trail frames the edge with steady climbs and forest shade. Donner Memorial State Park adds museum-grade local history alongside campgrounds and shoreline paths. Donner Ski Ranch and Tahoe Donner Cross Country bring a winter rhythm close to the lake.
