Why they chose this property

Tahoe Donner, the neighborhood that this home is in, is a highly desirable community in Truckee. It not only offers great amenities, pools, a private beach and more, but it is 5-20 minutes away from some of the most spectacular skiing and snow play in the world!

What makes this property unique

This home is a fan favorite. All on one level, it fits families for both summer and winter activities. The back deck with dining and a BBQ is nestled in a private forest setting. My favorite thing is having a wood burning fire to cozy up to while you watch it snow out of the oversized windows in the living and dining rooms!
