Property Description

Hidden within the pristine Tahoe Forest, this exceptional North Lake Tahoe estate offers a rare fusion of luxury mountain living, income-producing versatility, and immediate access to world-class recreation. Private, serene, and surrounded by towering pines, this is a legacy-caliber property designed for both lifestyle and performance. The main residence is complemented by two fully self-contained ADUs, each featuring its own full kitchen and bathroom, creating a highly desirable configuration for short-term rental income, multi-generational living, executive guest accommodations, or hybrid owner-use investment strategies. The lower-level ADU is thoughtfully integrated with the main home via an interior staircase, allowing it to function as an extension of the residence or as a separate rental suite. The second ADU, located above the expansive garage, offers complete privacy—ideal for maximizing rental yield while preserving owner enjoyment. At the heart of the property is a truly rare 6-car tandem garage, designed to meet the demands of a luxury Tahoe lifestyle. With room for multiple vehicles and all seasonal equipment, the garage also includes an attached private gym/workout room, elevating the home's appeal for wellness-focused owners and premium renters alike. A large detached work shed in the backyard further enhances functionality, offering ample space for gear storage, workshop use, or additional operational flexibility—an invaluable feature for both personal use and rental management. Outdoor access is unparalleled. A short walk through the forest connects directly to an expansive trail network, offering year-round recreation including mountain biking, hiking, trail running, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling—a highly sought-after amenity for luxury short-term renters. Just beyond the trees lies the North Tahoe Regional Park, featuring ropes courses, disc golf, athletic fields, a community garden, and year-round activities that significantly enhance guest experience and rental desirability. This property delivers the rare combination of true forest seclusion and proximity to North Lake Tahoe's premier destinations, including lakeshore access, ski resorts, dining, shopping, and year-round events. The setting offers an unmatched sense of calm and exclusivity—an increasingly scarce asset in the Tahoe basin. Whether positioned as a high-performing short-term rental, a luxury second home with income upside, or a long-term investment with multiple revenue streams, this residence stands apart. With multiple living units, exceptional privacy, oversized garage capacity, direct trail access, and premium recreational adjacency, this is one of the most compelling luxury investment opportunities currently available in North Lake Tahoe.
