About This Property

Buildable lots in South Lake Tahoe are not all created equal, and this one brings a few real advantages to the table. The parcel sits in a quiet pocket with six surrounding U.S. Forest Service lots, creating more separation, privacy, and open space than you typically get in a residential neighborhood.The site is level, roughly 140 feet deep, and carries an excellent IPES score of 996. With 30% allowable coverage, plus added flexibility for decking and a pervious driveway, the lot gives a future owner more room to design something that actually works. Light tree cover keeps the Tahoe feel intact without making the property feel dark, and the south-facing rear exposure brings in strong natural light with filtered mountain views. For a buyer looking to build instead of compromise on an existing home, this is a clean, usable parcel with privacy, sun, and development characteristics that are increasingly difficult to find.

IPES

TRPA caps how much of each Tahoe Basin parcel can be covered by impervious surfaces — buildings, driveways, decks. Estimated coverage — data: TRPA GIS / Tahoe Open Data. The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
