Property Description
In the heart of Tahoe, where pine-scented air greets the morning sun, there's a place where mountain beauty and timeless design meet. Welcome to 740 John McKinney Drive - a rare Lahontan homesite where every view is a masterpiece, and every season brings a new adventure. Here, a nearly square lot with a gentle natural slope offers the perfect canvas - an easy-to-build homesite, surrounded by mature pines, and accented with iconic granite boulders. From your future rear patio and living space, take in sweeping, unobstructed views of Lookout Mountain and the Northstar ski slopes -a panorama that changes with the seasons, yet never loses its magic. Perfectly located - just 10 min to shopping and dining, 15 min to the shores of Lake Tahoe, 35 min to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 3.5hrs from San Francisco and for private air travel, The Truckee Tahoe Airport is 5 min away. Here, you're surrounded by beauty on every side - mountain peaks, open wilderness, and the serenity of a quiet cul-de-sac location. Explore miles of trails, breathe in the mountain air, and reconnect with nature. Stay active with swimming, a fitness center, tennis, and pickle ball - all just steps from your door. Tee off on a championship golf course, unwind in the private clubhouse (under renovation) and savor fine dining. While there are a lot of parcels in Lahontan, there are few like this with privacy, light sloping terrain and stunning views in both the front and the rear of the property. The rear of the property is adjacent to protected open firebreak land. If you are looking for an expedited build process, plans by renowned architect Clare Walton are also available for purchase. Downtown Truckee is only a short drive with shops, restaurants, grocery and easy access to interstate 80. This location is more than just a piece of land - it's a foundation for your Tahoe lifestyle, in a fabulous location combining privacy, location and stunning views!
