Property Description:

This is an absolutely incredible home that was just built a year ago.  It sits on a flat county parcel in the North Upper Truckee neighborhood with an unbuildable, forestry owned parcel right across the street and great neighbors.  The home is over 3,600 sqft with 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a 3 car garage and endless amenities that include custom Alder cabinetry throughout, central vacuum, pre-wired sound system, A/C, steam shower and tons more.  For South Lake Tahoe Real Estate, even in this slumping economy, this is an absolute steal at $200/sf.  The exterior is wrapped entirely with cedar siding and natural granite wainscoting that includes the garage surround.  The home has great curb appeal with a gigantic wide appearance and massive hand peeled log columns that lead you through a giant 8′ entry door.  The exterior of the home is fenced and completely landscaped with automatic sprinklers on everything.  The home was an easy candidate for million dollar plus value a couple of years back and hopefully again in the near future.
Offered at $723,000

Property Description:

A rarity for the Tahoe Keys is to have a home that isn’t a fishbowl, allowing several of your neighbors to look into your home at anytime.  The lot that this home sits on flares out in both directions, because of its inside corner location, pushing the neighboring homes away.  The rear of the property is truly the highlight of privacy with views that sweep from Mt. Tallac to distant Heavenly ski resort.  Even Lake Tahoe can be seen from the 2nd floor deck and several parts of the living area.  The property also backs up directly to a lush meadow that has a walking path that leads directly to Pope Beach; one of the best local beaches in all of Lake Tahoe.  The only thing this location is missing is a boat dock, which can easily be purchased separately at the nearby Tahoe Keys Marina.
This home had a remodel and addition in 2002/03 that included a large master suite, office and completely redone kitchen area.  The kitchen is now adorned with custom HIckory cabinets, stainless appliances and granite counter tops.  The spacious Master quarters offer vaulted ceilings, walk-in closet and vast bathing area that includes a jetted tub & stall shower.  The upstairs living is enhanced with a cozy gas fireplace and wet bar for ambiance and entertaining.  The downstairs offers 3 more bedrooms, including another suite for in-laws and guests.  The side yard is complete w/ a dog run and shed for overflow storage.  The entire perimeter of the property is lushly landscaped and completely flat.  A must see….

Property Description

This unique home is centrally located in the Al Tahoe Subdivision within a short stroll from Lake Tahoe, beaches, bike trails, shopping, restaurants and more.  The city setting is more often sought after for several reasons; less snow, close to the action, vacation rental income, walk almost anywhere and much, much more.  In regards to income, this home is also set up with the option of having a rental unit downstairs with all the amenities of a separate home, including a full kitchen, laundry area, full bathroom, separate heating system, hot water heater, ample parking & storage.

Property Description:

This home sits on the one of the most amazing locations in all of South Lake Tahoe.  Sitting high on the hill in a private cul-de-sac, this brand new, ultra-custom home will impress even the most particular of buyers.  Most home buyers come to South Lake Tahoe to get away from city life, to have a place away from the hustle and bustle, a place with no neighbors on a decent size plot of land.  This home offers both.  This custom beauty sits on a 3/4 acre parcel that’s almost completely surrounded by forestry owned land.  The views are nearly 360 and run from Mt. Tallac, across Echo Summit, passed Kirkwood in the distance, ending all the way around to Heavenly ski resort.  What until you see Mt. Tallac with its snow filled cross fill your great room windows.  Pictures do not do it justice.

Never fear, this is not just a typical monster home that takes advantage of precious utilities.  Energy was taken into sincere consideration with a 98% radiant in-floor heating system that goes through the entire home and oversized garage.  Each area of the home is zoned differently for maximum efficiency and/or climate options for each individual staying in one of the 6 spacious bedrooms.  Of course, there’s still 4 separate gas fireplaces to set the atmosphere on those snowy winter nights. 

This is a spacious, 4-story home, but for those with a distaste for walking up stairs, don’t worry, take the elevator from the garage with all the groceries and all of your luggage.  If you’ve just come in from the cold and a long day of skiing, chose a warm up option — perhaps the jacuzzi tub, steam shower or even a cedar lined sauna!  With resort like amenities, breathtaking views and amazing wood works throughout, the savvy buyer will recognize this home as a worthy investment in even the toughest of markets.  
Offered at $1,575,000

I don’t want my kids to grow up in an area surrounded by vacation homes.  They need other families around them to enjoy their day to day activities with.  One big draw to this area for families is the elementary school nearby; The Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School.  Currently, this school is the highest ranking school in both academics and attendance in the school district.  To learn more about our local schools, visit http://www.ltusd.org/. 

Most of the people living in this area are blue collar workers, such as teachers, firefighters, contractors and more.  They take pride in their homes and their families and it shows.  When compared with the rest of South Lake Tahoe real estate, homes in NUT have always ranked well in median home values.  It’s never the highest in value, because of it’s distance to tourist amenities like the lake and casinos, but it’s not always about ROI, it’s about a lifestyle choice.  Please, come see for yourselves.

Property Description

This custom mountain home was just recently completed and offers one of the best settings in Tahoe.  The 14,000 sf lot that this magnificent home sits on backs up to acres of National Forest land near the base of Heavenly Ski Resort.  A good skier could probably make the traverse to the back yard of this home, but of course you’d be skiing out of bounds. :) 
The entire home is wrapped in rustic cedar siding with architectural accents like Shakertown shingles on the pop-outs, decorative out-lookers, granite wainscoting and more.  A massive paving stone drive leads to a nearly 900 sf 3-car garage.  The backyard is landscaped and fully fenced with a rear gate that allows access to the forest for your hiking, biking or skiing pleasure. 
The interior is made up of the finest quality materials.  All of the doors, millworks and custom cabinetry are made of vertical grain Doug-Fir, who’s lighter coloration contrasts well with rich teak hardwood floors and custom fabricated granite counter tops.  There are 3 separate gas fireplaces; great room, downstairs family room, and the Master Suite, that are all wrapped in natural stone and include built-in entertainment options.  The Master Suite includes a massive walk-in closet, 6′ jetted tub with forested views, a large stall shower and his/her vanities.  A vast 2nd story composite deck allows for entertaining & BBQ’s or a peaceful night of stargazing after a great day on the slopes.  This home is truly immaculate and a great investment property!
