About This Property

Skip the years of architectural design and jump straight into building your dream mountain retreat. Located in one of North Lake Tahoe’s most coveted neighborhoods, This premier parcel offers an incredible head start, with pre-engineered architectural plans available separately for a 2,581 sq. ft. home. Bypassing the lengthy conceptual phase, these advanced drawings establish the structural footprint for a 3-bed, 3.5-bath layout with a bunk room and 2-car garage, ready for finalization. Boasting a highly favorable 857 IPES score and 25% allowable land coverage (buyer to verify), this remarkably buildable lot has already cleared the major hurdles. A thoughtful two-story design offers the distinct potential to capture beautiful Lake Tahoe views. Situated just a short, scenic walk from pristine sandy beaches and minutes from world-class skiing, hiking, and biking trails, this is a rare, accelerated opportunity to create your ultimate North Shore escape.
