About This Property

Exceptionally well cared for, this classic Tahoe Donner log cabin showcases true pride of ownership throughout. Warm wood finishes, spacious ceiling, and a thoughtful layout create an inviting mountain retreat that feels both timeless and functional. Offered for the first time since its original construction! The main residence offers 1,991 sq ft, complemented by an additional 411 sq ft of permitted storage space above the garage - ideal for a game room, craft room, or potential future expansion into additional living space with further improvements. The owners have made several thoughtful investments in the home, including a brand-new roof completed in October 2025 and a professionally installed CleanSpace crawlspace system, offering long-term durability and peace of mind. Additional upgrades include a remodeled kitchen with newer appliances and a central heating furnace replaced in 2021. These updates reflect the care and attention the home has received over the years. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a large back deck perfect for entertaining and a rare flat backyard enhanced with pavers - ideal for gatherings, play, or quiet afternoons surrounded by nature. The two-car garage includes extra room for a workbench or gear storage, perfect for the Tahoe lifestyle. Centrally located within Tahoe Donner, the home sits near Trout Creek Recreation Center and along a greenbelt, offering additional privacy and easy access to trails, amenities, and year-round recreation. Whether used as a full-time residence, second home, or mountain getaway, this property delivers comfort, flexibility, and classic Tahoe charm in one of Truckee’s most desirable communities.
