About This Property
Where the street ends, a quieter kind of adventure begins. This thoughtfully designed Tahoma home offers lightly traveled, non-trailhead access to exceptional backcountry and Desolation Wilderness beyond—without the parked cars and activity associated with a formal recreation hub. Enter through a spacious mudroom with laundry, gear storage, and utility sink before continuing to the main living level, complete with a bedroom and bathroom. Abundant windows frame the forest, fill the interiors with natural light, and open to welcome refreshing mountain airflow; thoughtfully placed interior windows carry that light throughout the home. A high-ceilinged office provides an inspiring workspace, while the living and dining areas offer flexible use. French doors lead to a newer, spacious deck overlooking the private, forested backyard on an approximately one-third-acre parcel. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features a walk-in closet, skylight, and large soaking tub. A lower guest suite is complemented by extensive storage and workshop space for outdoor gear, creative pursuits, and future hobbies. Multiple backyard access points and ample off-street parking complete this exceptionally functional Tahoe retreat. Inspections and Disclosures available upon request. See Virtual Tour for Video and 3-D property walk-through.

MLS closed sales, with duplicate ingestions collapsed and lease records excluded, so each row is a distinct transaction. Rows marked county record come from the assessor's deed data, which reaches back further than the MLS feed; rows marked via a listing site fill the years the feed misses using that site's public sale record.

Land Coverage (TRPA)
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency impervious-coverage budget for this parcel
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.
TRPA parcel fact sheet ↗ How the Basin comparesHome Insurance Estimate
California FAIR Plan fire policy + a DIC wrap policy, the usual Tahoe setup
Estimate from this ZIP's California FAIR Plan rates (Plan data as of 6/30/2026, with the 29.1% increase effective 10/15/2026) on an estimated rebuild cost, plus a DIC policy at 20–40% of the FAIR premium. Not a bindable quote; a local broker quote depends on the home's age, roof, defensible space and claims history.
