About This Property

Welcome to "Our Forest Getaway", a fully remodeled modern mountain compound at 3880 Forest Road in Carnelian Bay. This partially furnished 6-bedroom, 5-bath property blends refined Tahoe style with rare flexibility, offering a beautifully remodeled main residence plus a detached two-car garage complex with standout bonus spaces. The main home features fresh finishes, updated systems, new heating and air conditioning, and an inviting layout designed for gathering after days on the lake or slopes. One en-suite bedroom with private covered decking access is an ideal guest retreat, game room, or separate family lounge. A second light and bright en-suite unit above the garage offers versatility with a wet bar setup and may be a strong ADU candidate. Below the garage, a quiet bonus area currently used for fitness provides the perfect setting for yoga, meditation, an art studio, or a private office. Updated electrical, modern HVAC, and air conditioning in both structures deliver uncommon peace of mind in Tahoe. Minutes from Carnelian Bay beaches, dining, trails, Northstar, and Palisades Tahoe, this is a rare North Lake Tahoe opportunity designed for lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value.
