About This Property

Corners are now marked—and this exceptional West Shore homesite is ready to inspire your Tahoe vision. Fall in love with the possibilities of this expansive, south-facing .38-acre parcel in Pineland, ideally positioned to enjoy the best of Tahoe living. Step outside and catch the ski shuttle to the Sherwood Chair at Palisades Tahoe Alpine, creating effortless access to world-class skiing and mountain adventure without the expense of a neighboring HOA. Encompassing more than 16,374 square feet, the parcel offers a strong IPES score of 753 and 23% allowable coverage, providing an exciting canvas for a thoughtfully designed mountain retreat. With U.S. Forest Service land to the west and State of California land behind, the setting offers a rare sense of privacy, openness and connection to nature. The location is equally compelling. Sunnyside, Shadyside and the shores of Lake Tahoe are just about a mile away, while the Tahoe Rim Trail, Sherwood Chair and miles of backcountry recreation are easily within reach. Tahoe City is close by, yet this property places you squarely in the heart of the West Shore lifestyle. Adding to the appeal, the property is served by Ward Well Water Company, known for its premium mountain water. And for those dreaming on an even larger scale, the neighboring home is also available—creating a unique opportunity to establish a true Tahoe legacy property with room for family, guests and generations to come. A special setting, remarkable recreational access and the freedom to create something distinctly your own—this is a rare opportunity to build your place in Tahoe.

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.
