About This Property

Listing Update: A guest suite complete with a full bathroom and private separate access is in process. It's an opportunity to put your own mark on this new space or enjoy the beauty once it is complete. A truly one-of-a-kind Tahoe retreat offering an extraordinary combination of breathtaking lake and mountain views, complete privacy, and unmatched natural beauty. Situated on three acres with a pond and bordered by National Forest lands with direct access to miles of trails, this exceptional property provides a rare opportunity to own a private sanctuary in one of Lake Tahoe's most coveted settings. Inside, a comprehensive remodel completed in 2022 transformed the home with timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern comfort. Nothing was left untouched. The stunning kitchen and bathrooms were thoughtfully reimagined, while wide-plank white oak hardwood floors bring warmth and a modern feel throughout. Hydronic in-floor heating provides year-round comfort, complemented by new windows, new siding, and expansive new decks designed to embrace the surrounding views and natural beauty. Every finish, fixture, and detail reflects a commitment to quality that is both seen and felt the moment you walk through the door. Properties that combine incredible lake and mountain views, a private pond, National Forest boundaries, extensive modern renovations, and this level of privacy are exceptionally rare. More than a home, this is a legacy Tahoe estate—a place where luxury, nature, and peacefulness come together in perfect harmony.

Land Coverage (TRPA)

146,860 sq ft
Allowed Coverage

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.
