About This Property

This large south facing lot in Pineland offers the close proximity to Tahoe City while being located in the happening hub of the West Shore. Only 1 mile away from Sunnyside, Shadyside and the Shores of Lake Tahoe ... and only a little farther in the other direction to the Tahoe Rim Trail or Sherwood Chair at Palisades for miles of backcountry exploration. This .38 acre parcel of over 16,374 sq ft has a buildable IPES score of 753 and 23% coverage. A design for optimum privacy should be easy with US Forest Land to the West and State of CA land behind. Enjoy the perks of Palisades shuttle pick up without the cost of the neighboring HOA. And, enjoy sipping on premium water sourced from Ward Well Water Company. The house next door is also available for sale to get a jump start on your legacy property!
