About This Property

Owner-built and never rented, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath custom mountain chalet with a 2-car garage blends European craftsmanship with a true Tahoe lifestyle, where you can step out your back door and onto the trails. The main living space is warm and inviting, with vaulted pine ceilings, exposed beams, and a wall of windows that bring the outdoors in. Designed with passive solar principles, the home captures winter sun to naturally warm the space while staying cool in the summer months. A granite hearth with a classic cast iron wood stove anchors the room, creating the perfect place to unwind after a day on the trails or in the mountains. Every detail reflects the care and intention behind its construction. Custom wood doors and cabinetry are paired with hand-forged iron hardware from Austria, while wood countertops, handcrafted tile, and thoughtfully selected finishes add depth and character throughout. The south-facing deck overlooks a quiet greenbelt and seasonal creek, offering a private setting to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the changing seasons. Built for comfort as much as beauty, the home includes a high-efficiency furnace, on-demand hot water, and durable materials like red cedar siding and a standing seam metal roof. Located just minutes from the Tahoe Rim Trail, regional park, golf, beaches, and skiing at Northstar, this home offers direct access to the best of Tahoe, without ever feeling removed from it.
