Gorgeous Mountain and Meadow Views - Steps from Upper Truckee River and Forest Trails, Minutes from Lake Tahoe
At this beautiful, fully-updated mountain home in South Lake Tahoe, you’ll feel hours away from the hustle-and-bustle, but a mere minutes away from beautiful Lake Tahoe, with its restaurants, casinos and concert venues, and comedy clubs and shows. And only five miles to Heavenly Ski Resort.
The three-bedroom, two-bath property overlooks Tahoe’s beautiful meadow and mountains, steps away from the Upper Truckee River. With riverside trails that snake through magnificent forested land, they’re perfect for hiking, biking, and cross country skiing, right from the back door! Or adventure further afield and explore all the hiking and biking that the Tahoe region has to offer (guide books available).
A large outdoor patio provides the perfect viewpoint for awe-inspiring sunsets, as well as bird and other wildlife watching, with picnic tables, BBQ, and lounge chairs for outdoor dining and relaxing. The treehouse, fenced-in backyard, and fire pit for s’mores are perfect for young children, or the young at heart.
The large living area’s floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings create a breathtaking meadow and mountain backdrop, bringing the amazing outdoors right into the living room. Get cozy in the winter with a fire in the wood-burning stove, while the snow gently falls on the moonlit mountains.
A modern, fully-updated kitchen – with granite countertops and large island – is perfect for entertaining, whether you’re preparing a gourmet meal or a good old-fashioned cookout.
Three bedrooms, two of which boast even more meadow and mountain views, provide relaxing sleeping areas; wood and antique furniture throughout the home accent the natural ambiance. Two full bathrooms, both have showers and bathtubs, one is the Master Bath. Sleeps 6-9.

Map & Owner's Profile
Gorgeous Mountain & Meadow Views! Steps from Truckee River!!!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Sierra Tract
When we first looked at the house, we were immediately sold on the amazing views and the ability to walk out the back door and stroll along the Truckee River. We haven't regretted our decision for a moment! We love the fact that our house is in a neighborhood (and we have great neighbors) yet once you pull into the driveway, you can't see another house around you - it's all about the mountains, meadow, and the river! We couldn't ask for a anything more.
The Unique Benefits at this House
So many things we love. Summer BBQs on the patio. Winter campfires for smores. Exploring Fallen Leaf Lake. Spending time at the beach. Sitting on the couch and feeling the warmth of the afternoon sunshine. Taking naps. Hiking in Desolation Wilderness. A night out at the casinos. A day on the slopes (for my husband) or a day on cross country skis (for me) right out the back door in the Tahoe Conservation Area. And we love the little bagel shop right down the street that has the best breakfast bagels EVER and it's only a short walk away...
Owner's Map of Sierra Tract
We love the out of doors and make the trip to Tahoe from the SF Bay area as often as we can. We believe strongly in getting away from it all and focusing on what is most important - family, friends, fun, and relaxation. Our Tahoe home is a wonderful way to do this. Whether we're kayaking on the lake, hiking in the Sierras, hanging out at home, or skiiing at Heavenly - we consider ourselves lucky. We also have 2 little boys (1 and 3) and it is important to us to have quality family time and that they grow up able to appreciate the natural world around them. We love spending time in Tahoe at our home away from home - and when we can't be there, we like others to have the chance to be in a home environment to relax, enjoy the scenery, have fun, and make wonderful memories.

This house is in the perfect setting in the perfect location. You are in a quiet neighborhood that is very accessible to South Shore but away from the crowds and noise. The house overlooks the Truckee river and a beautiful meadow with the Angora ridge in the background. It has a great outdoor patio and the house is well kept and furnished. Perfect for a couple or a family. Very kid-friendly! Bring your bikes - once you are there it is possible to park the car and bike anywhere you want to go.
Owner response:We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay! And we're glad that you liked the location - close to everything, yet you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of Tahoe in the summer!

We stayed seven nights over the July fourth weekend. The house was well-stocked and very comfortable. The location was scenic and convenient as the listing describes. The owners were helpful and friendly in suggestions for activities. We enjoyed the home's ammenities especially the outdoor fireplace, guide books, and kids' stuff such as books, toys, and TV. Very friendly neighbors. An excellent stay in Tahoe!

We had a fantastic time at this property. It was spacious, clean, and very well equipped, with a fantastic kitchen, great living area and comfortable bedrooms. It was very well located in South Tahoe, close to all amenities, restaurants and stores. The owners were really helpful, frequently checking to see whether we were ok. For a holiday in south Lake Tahoe, I can't recommend this property highly enough!

This house has an incredible view, at the near end of a quiet street, a stones throw from the Truckee river. My family had a great time, very kid friendly, yet perfect for us adults to watch a movie after bedtime. The location was excellent, closet to everything. Very well maintained, clean and everything in working order. We plan to go back!
Owner response:So glad you enjoyed your stay! We are happy to be able to share our home with others...

Very pleasant, spacious, well-maintained and well-equipped home with a lovely view overlooking The Meadow in South Lake Tahoe. Very comfortable furniture throughout the house, especially the master bedroom and the living room. A ten-minute walk to our favorite coffee shop and the main road through town.

We had a wonderful family vacation here. The home is clean, comfortable and has a great layout. The views are gorgeous. Access to the hiking/biking trails right out the backyard was perfect for my 2 boys to go exploring in the River. We were an easy bike ride to the Lake, ice cream, and coffee shop. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, pretty to go for walks. The many state parks and hiking trails are all within about 15 minutes by car. We had a great dinner from Fasta Pasta-5 minutes away and another great meal at The Brewery at Lake Tahoe. We would definitely come back again and will recommend this home to our friends! Stephanie was super helpful and friendly! Thank you for a great vacation place!!

Our family really enjoyed our stay! The house is in a great location for outdoor activities -- hiking, mountain biking, boating -- and it's close to restaurants and shopping. It's on a quiet street near the Truckee River, which has a path for hiking or running. The patio is very nice with a great view -- it's a great spot for outdoor dining and grilling.

We had a great time here. The owners were very helpful when we needed them. The place is surrounded for a beautiful view and at least twice at day we went sledding to the hill. The short walk to the hill was just delightful for our eyes: trees covered by the snow, the river on our right side and a huge and white field around everything and us.

Just right. Just the right distance from all your needs be it stores, recreation or stateline. It is very cozy and comfortable with just the right amount of distractions that you left back at home. A great place to enjoy the company for friends and family. Winter was spectacular and I can only imagine what Summer would bring.
