About This Property
Welcome to 5834 Dodowah — a three bed, two bath single family home WITH an additional living space above the two car garage! This is a true Tahoe classic making its debut on the market for the first time since it was built. Lovingly maintained by its original owners, this home radiates warmth, charm, and versatility — the perfect mountain retreat or full-time basecamp. Tucked above Agate Bay, this property checks every box: a spacious two-car garage for all your Tahoe toys, a dreamy back deck with serene forest views, and a well-designed open-layout main house filled with character. The detached one-bedroom apartment above the garage is a total bonus — complete with a whimsical balcony, skylights, and an airy, light-filled layout that makes it an ideal guest suite, rental, or creative flex space. Enjoy the freedom of flexible use — enjoy both spaces together or live in one and rent the other (this property qualifies for an STR permit). Thoughtful details like the circular driveway for easy year-round access, covered walkways, a cozy gas fireplace with brick hearth, and a private balcony off the primary bedroom make this home as functional as it is inviting. Perfectly situated between Northstar (~20 minutes) and Palisades (~25 minutes), and just a short bike ride or scenic walk to local Carnelian Bay favorites like Gar Woods, the Old P.O., and Waterman’s Landing — you’ll love the balance of forest privacy and easy access to the lake. We have a full disclosure package and inspections on file. Reach out today to review or schedule your private showing. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB TENANTS. All showings by appointment only.
