About this property
Lodgepole Pine House an Ecologically Designed Vacation Home.
WELCOME TO THE LODGEPOLE PINE HOUSE, A BEAUTIFUL FOUR SEASON RETREAT FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURERS, NATURE LOVERS, AND DESIGN ENTHUSIASTS.
This brand new ecologically-designed home in the Serene Lakes community backs up to a nature reserve open to cross country skiing, hiking and biking and is a five minute walk from beautiful Lake Serena and Lake Dulzura. The home incorporates natural building materials and incredible detailing in a rustic and modern style. The owner/ architect designed the house to embrace the outdoors with generous porches adjoining most rooms and with windows framing the surrounding pine forest. Bird watch and stargaze from the house.
WINTER RECREATION: Downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, iceskating, snowshoeing, sledding. Cross country ski directly to Royal Gorge, the largest Nordic ski resort in the country. Less than a 10 minute drive to excellent downhill Sugar Bowl, Boreal Ridge, Soda Springs, Donner Ski Ranch. NorthStar, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Tahoe Donner are nearby.
SPRING: Still some snow pack for skiing and snowshoeing. Perfect weather for road biking before the heat of summer. Find quiet solitude in the low tourist season.
SUMMER: Road and Mountain Biking, swimming, hiking, kayaking and sailing, catch and release fishing at Serene Lakes. Great show of wildflowers. Wine festivals, Tahoe Music Festival, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, Outdoor film showings at Squaw Valley and Truckee. The Owner’s Association beach at Serene Lakes is great for kid’s and adults.
FALL: Wonderful fall color. Biking, hiking, boating. Find quiet solitude in the low tourist season. Nevada County Fair. Tahoe Sierra Centruy Bike Ride. Lake Tahoe Marathon. Truckee Renaissance Faire. Golf Classic at Truckee.
LOCAL HISTORY: Explore nearby Donner Lake (where the famous Donner Party was stranded for the winter of 1846) and Lake Tahoe areas. Visit historic truckee for shopping, good eats, and winter sport rentals.
