Investment Insights:

This property comes with a strong rental history and even stronger future potential. Eligible for the Lease to Locals program, offering extra income right out of the gate. And with a price of just $421 per square foot, it’s one of the best values in the area — especially with a second buildable parcel included.

Whether you’re looking to house employees, generate short- or long-term rental income, develop a second home, or subsidize your mortgage payment the flexibility here is unmatched.

Location Perks:

Situated at a lower elevation, this home is just minutes from Donner Lake, I-80, shopping, dining, Tahoe Donner trail access and downtown Truckee. Yes, you’ll hear a bit of I-80 “white noise,” but the unmatched convenience and accessibility far outweigh the hum.

Live in it. Rent it. Build on it.

From multi-generational living to employee housing to cash-flow-ready investment, this is one of those rare finds where lifestyle and opportunity meet. Schedule your showing today — opportunities like this don’t last.
