The moment you walk in, you know this is no ordinary mountain house. This home gives you a sense of connection… connection to the water, connection to the earth. Enjoy the gentle splashing sounds of Alder Creek as it cascades through the backyard. Towering aspens, a huge green belt complete with hiking and biking trails, and the natural wildlife habitat of Alder Creek are all right out the back door. (Usually snow-covered in winter). A fabulous great room with its grand, stone-floored kitchen--- just the right size for intimate get-togethers and extraordinary gas fireplace with custom stonework, warmth and charm-with no mess! Sumptuous, ultra-romantic master bedroom with Alder Creek less than 20' away. Double jetted tub and separate shower in master bath.
Taste the mountain lifestyle. Tahoe Donner has host of amenities: Golf, tennis, marina at Donner Lake, rec center, weight and cardio facilities, swimming pools, hot tubs, and more.

Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Tahoe Donner
I built this house in 2005 to take advantage of the creekside location. The sound of the creek lulls you to sleep at night and the gentle rustling of the aspens in the day adds to the serene setting. There are acres of greenbelt with hiking/biking trails just across the creek. Tahoe Donner has so many amenities to offer: it's a virtual smorgasboard of fun!
The Unique Benefits at this House
This home is insulated concrete form construction, so it can be very, very quiet--unless you want to open the doors and windows and hear the gentle sound of the creek. Great hiking and biking trails, close to the ski hill and other amenities: golf course, tennis court, equestrian center, rec center with pools, hot tubs, weight and aerobics rooms. One bedroom is set-up as a full-scale office (fax/wireless/printer) in case you need to "do a little" work while you're on vacation. It's also a great test property to see how much you might like to have your own vacation home!
Owner's Map of Tahoe Donner
Welcome to Truckee! My name is Tamara and I moved to the Truckee/Tahoe area in 1986. I love all the mountains have to offer... from skiing to hiking and swimming in clear alpine lakes. I have been spending more time in the wine country, so even though this is my home, I am offering to share this magical location with others. I am a licensed CA realtor (since 1999) and can help you find your own mountain dream home.
