This peaceful mountain property features 104 feet of private Truckee River frontage, multiple outdoor living spaces, a large riverfront lawn, detached flex space, artisan spring water, and easy access to Palisades Tahoe, Donner Lake, Lake Tahoe, and downtown Truckee.
Originally built during the era of the 1960 Winter Olympics, this furnished mountain home has been thoughtfully refurbished over the years while preserving its authentic Tahoe warmth, character, and connection to nature.
Set along a quiet private road and surrounded by forest, the property offers privacy, outdoor living, and a slower mountain pace while remaining conveniently close to lakes, trails, restaurants, and recreation.
Designed for relaxed summer living, the home features approximately 104 feet of private Truckee River frontage, two large decks, one comfortable indoor living area, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces, including a private riverfront lawn ideal for entertaining, barbecues, morning coffee, or quiet afternoons by the water.
The front deck, living room, kitchen, dining nook, and loft enjoy scenic river and forest views, creating a peaceful setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or relaxing after a day outdoors.
The home includes:
Two spacious sleeping areas in the main house with privacy between levels
Upper-level sleeping loft with skylights, forest views, and flexible space for reading, remote work, or relaxing
Primary bedroom with updated en-suite bathroom and private deck immersed in the forest and backed by national forest land
Charming mountain kitchen with updated flooring and adjacent dining nook
Wood-burning stove
Detached flex workspace overlooking the forest
Functional mudroom/laundry area
Washer, dryer, and dishwasher
Multiple parking spaces, including room for recreational vehicles
Large windows throughout create a peaceful environment immersed in nature.
Internet service is provided through Oasis Broadband and supports streaming, video calls, and day-to-day online use.
The property is ideally located for enjoying summer in the Tahoe region:
Approximately 4 miles to Truckee
Approximately 5 miles to Palisades Tahoe
Approximately 6 miles to Donner Lake
Approximately 9 miles to Lake Tahoe
Easy access to hiking, biking, paddleboarding, restaurants, and recreation
Near the popular Jackass mountain bike trail
Enjoy long summer days by the river, cool mountain evenings under the trees, and easy access to some of the best outdoor recreation in the Tahoe region.
Important Notes:
This is a historic Tahoe mountain property with original mountain-home characteristics and a peaceful forested setting on a quiet private road.
The home uses artisan spring water sourced from a private mountain spring.
As with many mountain properties on private water systems, water pressure is lower than typical suburban municipal systems.
The home does not have air conditioning, though the shaded mountain setting and cabin construction have historically kept the home comfortable during summer months.
Please note Verizon cell service is limited at the property location. AT&T and T-Mobile generally provide stronger coverage in this area.
The property includes stairs, natural mountain terrain, and a loft ladder that may not be ideal for all mobility needs.
Local property support available if needed during your stay.
No pets.
Please message with desired dates, number of occupants, and a brief introduction about yourself and what you're looking for in your summer stay.
