About This Property
Getting a little lost on the forest trails steps from you cabin, retreating inside to watch the snow drift down in front of the fire, and connecting with that slower, more elemental version of ourselves; these are the moments that define the Tahoe lifestyle, and 605 Woodchuck provides the backdrop for all of them. Behind the blue door lies a classic Carnelian Bay cabin that has been comprehensively and tastefully reimagined for modern mountain living. Situated on a flat, fenced corner lot with no HOA, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a seamless stepping-off point to nearby beaches, world-class ski resorts, and endless backcountry adventures. Inside, the pride of truly meticulous owners shines through a complete top-to-bottom refresh which blends warm exposed-beam wood ceilings and crisp white walls with light wide-plank flooring and a sleek updated kitchen. Every detail has been thoughtfully seen to, from the modern light fixtures to the new composition roof, so you can simply arrive with your gear and start living. Outside, laughter echoes across the expansive wrap-around Trex deck where a brand-new hot tub sits ready for starlit soaks under the pines. The main level includes a convenient bedroom and updated full bath, while the additional bedrooms and bathroom upstairs offer comfortable separation for guests. Fully prepped for a quick short-term rental permit and complete with included plans for a future garage and guest apartment, 605 Woodchuck isn't just a house—it is the cabin where you will form the memories you'll talk about for years to come.
