This is your dream property, complete with its own natural spring and over 6.5 acres of expansive, view-filled land offering privacy, flexibility, and rare opportunity. Located just outside TRPA jurisdiction, this exceptional parcel provides added freedom for development while backing directly to Desolation Wilderness and sitting just steps from Echo Lakes. It's the kind of setting buyers search for and rarely find, wide-open space, stunning natural surroundings, and direct access to some of the most sought-after outdoor recreation in the Tahoe region. The property has been surveyed, with a spacious building pad already cleared and ready for construction. Conceptual plans are in place for a thoughtfully designed two-story home featuring approximately 1,600 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an oversized garage exceeding 1,000 square feet, ideal for vehicles, storage, or a workshop. Enjoy quick access to Sierra at Tahoe, giving you a head start on powder days, while a nearby snow park adds year-round outdoor fun. Surrounded by endless hiking, biking, and exploration, with panoramic views of Echo Summit just up the road. With no TRPA constraints, the potential here is significant. The parcel may offer subdivision opportunities or allow for a multi-structure compound such as a main residence, guest cottage, and ADU, with possible vacation rental potential. Buyer to verify all uses and development options. Peaceful, private, and just 10 minutes to Tahoe, this property combines location, scale, and opportunity in a way that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Drive by, walk the land, and start envisioning what's next.
