About This Property

This exceptional lakefront retreat on Donner Lake that was meticulously rebuilt in 2014 by Hartline Construction, blending timeless craftsmanship with panoramic lake views from nearly every room. Designed with exceptional materials and old-world artistry, the home offers a rare combination of durability, warmth, and refined mountain character. Wide-plank, hand-scraped hickory flooring anchors the interior, while distressed knotty alder trim and hand-peeled log accents add texture and charm. A custom dual-sided gas fireplace with artisan stonework and log detailing serves as a dramatic focal point, creating an inviting space to gather after a day on the water. All bathrooms are appointed with striking yellow onyx countertops, adding warmth and natural beauty. The primary suite, conveniently located on the entry level, offers a serene retreat complete with a freestanding soaking tub and handcrafted artisan tile wainscoting. Nearly every room captures dynamic lake views, reinforcing the home’s seamless connection to the water. The lower level features a guest bedroom, hall bath, laundry room, and a family room that was previously a 3rd bedroom prior to the remodel. The family room has a closet and could be modified back to a bedroom or bunkroom if desired. This level features a small walk-off deck with stairs leading to the lakeside patio and private pier. Spend your days enjoying the expansive water views, and when the afternoon sun warms the shoreline, jump into Donner Lake from your own pier. The landscaped yard is accented with perennial flowers, mature plantings, and automatic irrigation for ease of maintenance. Modern comforts include a newer heating system, central air conditioning, and a Generac whole-home backup generator for year-round peace of mind. On the Fourth of July, enjoy front-row views of the fireworks from the comfort of your lakeside patio. Opportunities to own lakefront property on Donner Lake are limited. This is a rare chance to create lasting memories in one of Truckee’s most cherished waterfront settings.
