About This Property

The Ultimate Rubicon Bay Retreat: Classic Tahoe Soul Meets Modern Comfort. Located on the lakeside of one of Tahoe’s most coveted neighborhoods, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin captures the essence of classic West Shore living. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a space that feels both airy and inviting, while skylights fill the great room with natural light and views of the surrounding pines. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area creates a comfortable flow for gathering and entertaining, while rich wood interiors add timeless Tahoe character throughout. A wood-burning fireplace insert brings warmth and ambiance during the winter months. The layout is comfortable and functional, featuring two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, along with a private upstairs en-suite bedroom that offers an ideal retreat for guests or quiet relaxation. The kitchen includes updated appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious peninsula with bar seating, perfect for casual dining, gathering, and additional prep space. Bordering U.S. Forest Service land to the east, the property enjoys an added sense of privacy and connection to the surrounding natural landscape. Step outside to the expansive deck, where a hot tub awaits after a day on the lake, the slopes, or the trails. Whether hosting summer barbecues or relaxing beneath the stars, this outdoor space quickly becomes the heart of the home. Located within the Rubicon Park Estates Improvement Association, owners enjoy access to a private sandy beach and parking area, shared pier, buoy field, kayak and paddle board storage, and a lakeside picnic area, everything that makes West Shore summers unforgettable. Outdoor recreation is just minutes away, with D.L. Bliss State Park to the south and Sugar Pine Point State Park to the north, offering scenic hiking and biking trails, lakefront beaches, and year-round adventure. Homewood Mountain Resort is just a 10-minute drive away for skiing and snowboarding, while endless opportunities for boating, paddling, and exploring Lake Tahoe’s shoreline are all within easy reach. Rare Rubicon Bay access. Classic Tahoe soul. Ready when you are.

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.
