The recently remodeled kitchen, enveloping radiant floor heating, wood-burning fireplace, and tranquil built-in indoor fountain create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The private primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, tucked away for comfort and seclusion. Over $50K in indoor painting recently completed. Outside, there is ample room for all your toys with a massive 1,800-square-foot shop, large firewood storage shed, and an enclosed propane tank shed. An expansive screened porch perfectly frames the stunning western views of the Pacific Crest, while endless nearby hiking and mountain biking trails invite you to explore this special corner of the Eastern Sierra. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Truckee and 30 minutes from Reno, this is the private mountain escape you’ve been waiting for.

Lake Tahoe, located between Donner Lake and the Nevada state line, is a lakeside and mountain Truckee neighborhood with granite shorelines and pine-scented trails. The character concentrates around the Northstar Drive and CA-267 junction, where ski-day traffic, gear shops, and après patios set a brisk, outdoors-first tempo. Architectural cues lean to timber-and-stone cabins and contemporary mountain homes with deep eaves and big window walls. Northstar California Resort anchors the calendar with lifts, a village plaza, and seasonal events. The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe and Alibi Ale Works at Truckee Public House act as social landmarks for dining and local pours. Between beaches, trailheads, and winter access, daily life tracks the weather and the water.
