Christopher - Not such a pipe dream these days, I have a small condo in mind which borders the national forest which is under your price goal. Email me if you want the details.

If you are interested in Forest Service cabins, where you don't own the land, you lease it from the Forest Service, there are a few available by Sierra At Tahoe Ski Resort.

Hello Christopher,
I own a cabin in Tahoe and I'm also a Realtor. I know the area well. Did you decide on what you want to do? Have you done some research? What sites are you using to find homes? ]

Let me know if you need any assistance.

Take care.

Serena
