Upper Kingsbury, Lake Tahoe, Nevada

Theresa — Sat, 08 May 2010 22:09:19 +0000

The Upper Kingsbury area rests atop Nevada’s “claim” to the world-renowned Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort. And we do mean literally atop. It’s down hill in either direction with Lake Tahoe to the East and the Carson Valley to the West. This area is made up of a blend of single family homes ranging from small ranchers, alpine chalets, cabins clear up to magnificent estates. Many sport spectacular views of Lake Tahoe or the magnificent Carson. Often when the Tahoe basin is covered in winter clouds or occasional fog, the Upper Kingsbury area is still basking in the sun.

There is also an expansive community of condominiums and townhomes located just steps from the numerous Nevada lodges of the Heavenly Ski Resort. Since Vail Resorts Management Company bought Heavenly, and invested many millions of dollars in new high-speed lifts and premiere facilities, Trip Advisor and Orbitz named Lake Tahoe the #1 Travel Destination in the U.S. and #25 Destination Worldwide. Heavenly also made the Top 10 Ski Resorts in USA list in 2009. It’s as close to a true “Ski In / Ski Out” neighborhood as one will find throughout the South & East Lake Tahoe areas.

Outdoor hikers, bikers and cross country skiers will relish in the opportunities provided within the Rim Trail area which is entered at the end of Andria Way. Also within the area is the George Brautovich Park which is located on Andria Way, just off the Kingsbury Grade. This cozy 5-acre community park includes a 1.5-acre junior soccer field, play area and horseshoe pits.

At the bottom of Kingsbury, on the Lake Tahoe side, are schools, parks and all varieties of grocery stores, pharmacies, a post office, banks, the major casinos, restaurants, the spectacular Edgewood Golf Course with 5 Star “lakeside” dining, ice skating, and Douglas County facilities. And by no means is one “too far” away from the action. All of the above facilities are found within ten minutes by car or the BlueGo Express bus service.

If one takes Kingsbury Grade toward the Carson Valley, they will find the historical Genoa community, the natural hot springs at Walley’s, championship golf courses and endless bike riding. Major shopping chains such as Home Depot, Cosco and Target can also be easily accessed.

Hidden Woods, Lake Tahoe, Nevada

Theresa — Sat, 08 May 2010 21:48:22 +0000

From the moment you pass through the new highway-safe, water-falled entrance to this very upscale community, you know you have found a special mountain hideaway on the South East Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. You immediately recognize it is distinguished by approximately thirty luxury homes and estates on extraordinarily large, beautifully treed lots…many with immaculate gardens and lawns. Nearly all of these homes feature magnificent views of the Lake and the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountain range. This community also was one of the first to complete the extensive FireSafe Project by creating “defensible space around each home and throughout all its properties. This project stood as an example to other neighborhoods all around Lake Tahoe. Additionally, all utilities are underground, which definitely helps maintain the beauty of this area.

Hidden Woods is literally two minutes to the Nevada State Park Boat launch (for great nearby fishing and pleasure craft), picnic grounds and swimming beach. This community also enjoys 5 minute access to excellent schools and playgrounds plus a great library, the famous Zephyr Cove Lodge with swimmable beaches, boat & horseback riding plus sternwheeler and tri-maran excursions across the Lake. Another 3 minutes brings on to a fine Mall w/grocery, restaurants, Post Office, a fire station and other shops. Another 3 minutes brings one to Tahoe’s best Casino/Hotels, first-class entertainment, ski-lifts, ice-skating, spectacular Edgewood Golf Course and many restaurants. Within a 20 minute drive over Lake Spooner Pass to Carson City are major malls with Costco, WalMart, Trader Joe’s, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, Staples, World Market, numerous restaurants, Galaxy digital/3D Theaters, and much more.

Lakeridge is a quiet and safe community of friendly neighbors, both full and part-time residents. Most of the properties within Lakeridge are upscale homes on the southeast Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. The general area is divided into two sections, called Upper and Lower Lakeridge depending on which side of Highway 50 they are located. From dawn to sunset, residents enjoy gorgeous views of the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe as well as the entire panorama of the Sierra Mountain Range to the west. A bonus for residents and friends is a special 20’wide dock reaching 100 ft into the lake. The locals call this dock “ The Pavilion”. The pavilion features a raised and covered deck housing picnic tables and benches for that special lunch or sunset hors d-oeuvres & wine with spectacular views of 90% of the entire Lake. Adjacent to the pier is a protected beach ideal for swimming and/or launching kayaks and canoes.

The residents have also completed a multi-million dollar storm sewer and multi catch-basin project to protect the legendary clarity of the Lake. The GID is also responsible for maintaining our roads and providing excellent snow removal.
