About This Home
Private Beach. Private Dock. Beautifully Renovated. One of Donner Lake's most attainable opportunities to own in the coveted Donner Tract community. Discover the Donner Lake lifestyle in one of the area's most sought-after private lake communities. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this turnkey mountain retreat blends modern comfort with timeless Tahoe charm, offering an exceptional opportunity just moments from the water. The light-filled interior has been completely transformed, featuring a stunning contemporary fireplace, an open-concept living area, and a beautifully redesigned kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, and updated windows throughout. While public records identify the home as a one-bedroom, the thoughtfully designed floor plan lives much larger with a spacious loft-style primary retreat, a separate enclosed sleeping room on the main level, and an additional loft/flex space ideal for guests, a home office, or recreation. Surrounded by towering pines with peek lake views, the property offers exceptional privacy and inviting outdoor living. Relax on the expansive deck after a day on the lake or slopes, and enjoy generous storage beneath the home for skis, paddleboards, bikes, and all your Tahoe gear. Ownership includes exclusive Donner Tract amenities, including private beach access, a shared pier and dock, picnic area, and kayak and paddleboard storage. West End Beach, hiking and biking trails, Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, downtown Truckee, restaurants, and I-80 are all just minutes away, making this an ideal full-time residence, weekend retreat, or mountain getaway. Beautifully renovated, move-in ready, and offering one of the few opportunities to enjoy private Donner Lake amenities at this price point, this is Tahoe living at its best.
