About This Property

Experience the best of Donner Lake living in this beautifully updated 3-bedroom mountain home, ideally situated among the pines with filtered views of the lake. Thoughtfully refreshed with modern finishes while maintaining its classic Tahoe character, the home offers a warm and inviting interior designed for comfortable year-round living. An open, light-filled floor plan creates an effortless connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, while three bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Large windows frame the surrounding forest and glimpses of Donner Lake, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into nearly every season. One of the property’s most exceptional features is its access to a private, fenced HOA beach reserved exclusively for members—an increasingly rare amenity on Donner Lake. Spend summer days swimming from the dedicated swimming area and swim platform, or take advantage of two private piers with the ability to dock or moor boats. Secure HOA storage for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards makes getting on the water effortless, allowing you to fully embrace the Donner Lake lifestyle without hauling your gear back and forth. After a day on the lake, return home to filtered water views and a peaceful setting beneath the towering pines. The home also has a large basement and shed to store all of your toys. With downtown Truckee, hiking and biking trails, and world-class skiing just minutes away, this updated mountain home offers an exceptional combination of year-round recreation and convenience—but it’s the rare private beach, pier, and lake access that truly sets this Donner Lake property apart.

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.
