About This Property
A RARE TAHOE RETREAT WHERE RUSTIC ELEGANCE, DISTINCTIVE ARCHITECTURE, AND NATURAL BEAUTY COME TOGETHER. Set on nearly half an acre and bordering open space, this remarkable custom home offers a beautiful natural setting with a scenic hiking trail just beyond the property. Offering approximately 3,735 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels, the home provides an exceptional blend of grand entertaining spaces and inviting private retreats. Expansive picture windows bring the outdoors in, showcasing the surrounding scenery while filling the interiors with natural light. A nearly level entry welcomes you to the impressive main living area, where dramatic architectural details, rich log accents, stained concrete floors, hydronic radiant heat, chiseled-edge granite, travertine, and a striking granite-rock fireplace create an unmistakable mountain-lodge atmosphere. The upper-level primary suite is a sanctuary, complete with its own fireplace and classic French doors opening to an interior balcony overlooking the spectacular great room below. A generously sized ensuite bedroom across the hall, currently appointed with multiple bunk beds, offers versatile space for guests, family, or a recreation room. Downstairs, a welcoming family room with its own fireplace provides a comfortable place to unwind, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Both bedrooms open directly onto an expansive stone patio, creating an inviting connection to the outdoors. With its exceptional setting, distinctive mountain architecture, and generous accommodations, this special Legacy property offers a truly memorable Tahoe experience, with nature and recreation right outside your door.

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.

Home Insurance Estimate
California FAIR Plan fire policy + a DIC wrap policy, the usual Tahoe setup
Estimate from this ZIP's California FAIR Plan rates (Plan data as of 6/30/2026, with the 29.1% increase effective 10/15/2026) on an estimated rebuild cost, plus a DIC policy at 20–40% of the FAIR premium. Not a bindable quote; a local broker quote depends on the home's age, roof, defensible space and claims history.
