THIS IS A SHORT SALE OPPORTUNITY.
Looking for a ski condo or an escape from the summer heat?  Why not consider an investment within one of the world’s most popular resort destination?  And while you are making that consideration, imagine owning a condo that is in “move-in” condition, is located in a peaceful environment, has a double garage in which to store your ”big boy” toys and has views from dawn to dusk.  If this all sounds tasty, then you will want to check out 3035 Christmas Valley #2.

This delightful home is located in Christmas Valley and within twenty minutes to three popular ski resorts, ten minutes to two golf courses and across the street from Truckee River.  All of your major needs in regards to groceries, dining and auto fuel are within five minutes.

Once you walk into this home, you will be impressed by the lofty vaulted pine ceilings, the upgraded flooring, delightfully remodeled baths and the three tranquil bedrooms with views.  Extra ambiance is provided by the free-standing gas fireplace, decor colors and the upgraded kitchen.  Did we mention VIEWS!   Hikers, bikers, and nature lovers will appreciate the immediate access to forested trails and hills.  Whether you are looking for a family get-away or a vacation rental property with potential income, this condo is quite a package.

Our featured price reduction is 3076  Jacarillo.  This home was originally purchased for $687,000.  The owners then completed a stunning kitchen remodel, added a workshop out back and fully landscaped the yards.  Located in Montgomery Estates and just a few homes down from beautiful forested trails, this beautiful family home is now asking only $519,000 with classy furniture being negotiable. Further information, visual tours, mapping and a photo gallery are all here to be enjoyed.  If you are in the neighborhood, stop by our Open House this Saturday, the 24th of July, from 12 – 3.

The next great value to be found is located at 1781 Skyline Drive in Country Club Estates.  This property is situated on two combined lots (approximately 30,00 SF of elbow room) with some of the most magnificent views to be found throughout the Tahoe Basin.  Street level living features a large living room with vaulted ceilings and skylights, a large dining area and kitchen with hardwood floors and a beautiful stone fireplace.  Downstairs are four bedrooms and a bath with a large jetted spa.  The owner has decided that now is the time to move on in her life and told us to price it to sell.  So we did.  All of this now for only $599,900.

Our final pick of the week for great price reductions is 2512 Cattleman’s Trail.  Check this out – brand new construction with all the “bells and whistles” is now only $499,000.  Where else in Lake Tahoe will you find top of the line construction, three bathrooms all with jetted tubs, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, granite counters all in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods?  Originally built to be the contractor’s own home, no corners were cut when it came to design or quality.  Families with small children will especially appreciate the close proximity to the Sierra House School, the fenced yard and steps to the Lake Christopher Meadow with adventures just waiting to be had.

Now, as far as the bear in the above photo – we thought you might get a kick seeing our backyard visitor.  Yogi has a preference to wait until Don is done working on the pond prior to jumping in for an afternoon splash.  Our biggest chuckle was when he and our cat came face to face the other day.  The bear freaked and flew up the closest tree and the cat literally flew across the yard, through the door and up the stairs not to be seen for the next hour.  I only wish I had had a video camera handy.

Those of you looking for top quality, brand new construction will not want to miss seeing this surprisingly affordable custom home.  Imagine hard wood floors, vaulted cedar ceilings, stainless appliances (gotta check out the wok  feature on the range,) striking alder cabinets and granite counters.  Oh, there is soooo much more.  Three full baths, each with jetted tubs.

And if location is important to you, be sure to drive around the neighborhood.  Step out the door and walk to the Lake Christopher Meadow where Mother Nature does her dance year round.  Heavenly Mountain Skiing and Lake Tahoe beaches are all within four miles as well as shopping, dining, and year round entertainment.  This home is ideal as a full time or vacation home.  Only $549,000

We look forward to seeing you.  If you can’t make it by, be sure to check out the photo gallery and further details.
