About This Property

This classic A-frame cabin is nestled on a spacious .28 acre lot that backs CA Tahoe Conservancy land leading to the Upper Truckee River. This home provides privacy and a serene forest backdrop with no rear neighbors. A sunny garden room has been added to the front of this home, which is ideal for nurturing plants, sipping morning tea or simply watching the snow fall. Step inside and experience the iconic architectural charm that makes A-frames so appealing. Along with downstairs living, you'll also find the two bedrooms and one bathroom. Upstairs is the expansive loft and a second bathroom. There is also an easily accessible large crawlspace at the back of the house, providing an incredible amount of storage for all your Tahoe toys.

MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.

The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
