Ideally positioned along the sought-after Alder Creek corridor, this home offers immediate access to year-round trails and sits just moments from the Alder Creek Adventure Center, the hub for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, and equestrian use. In winter, enjoy the rare luxury of watching Nordic skiers glide past on freshly groomed trails just beyond the property; in summer, those same paths become miles of scenic routes for hiking, trail running, biking, and horseback riding. Set to capture an unobstructed view of Hawks Peak, the home also benefits from a southwest-facing orientation, bringing abundant natural light into the great room and contributing to improved snow melt on the driveway during winter months. Inside, hardwood flooring and tile run throughout the home, complemented by custom-finished alder interior doors, trim, and baseboards. Anderson fiberglass low-E windows and tall ceilings (10’ upstairs and 9’ downstairs) create an open, airy feel while maintaining a warm alpine aesthetic. The main living space is designed for gathering after full days outdoors, anchored by a gas fireplace and enhanced by automated Hunter Douglas window coverings, and wired multi-zone audio. The chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring GE Profile stainless steel appliances, quartzite countertops, a large island with seating and storage, an oversized sink, and a generous pantry—ideal for entertaining, holidays, or extended stays. Bathrooms are equally well-appointed, with rain shower heads, a separate tub and shower in the guest bath, and a primary suite bath featuring a heated toilet/bidet and additional built-in storage. All bedrooms include custom closet organizers with lighting and clearcoat finishes, reinforcing the home’s thoughtful attention to detail. Comfort and efficiency are prioritized throughout with hydronic in-floor heating. A natural gas generator with a manual transfer switch adds peace of mind. For Tahoe enthusiasts, the garage is a standout feature. Extra tall and fully finished, it includes a 12-foot insulated garage door designed to accommodate high-profile vehicles, camper vans, or roof-racked SUVs. Additional features include EV readiness, a utility sink, built-in speakers, and ample lighting. Behind the garage, a finished concrete-floor storage area provides approximately 240 square feet of additional space for gear. Outdoor living is equally dialed in. Cedar siding and decking with hogwire railings blend naturally into the forested setting, while multiple decks and a lower dry rear patio (with a water catchment system installed beneath the upper rear deck) offer space to relax, entertain, or unwind in the HotSpring Prodigy hot tub (purchased April 2025). Snow gates on the decks for easy snow removal, a flat southwest-facing driveway with generous parking, and underground power to the home all speak to year-round practicality. Gas and electrical connections on decks and patios further extend the home’s usability in every season. Technology-forward and future-ready, the home is wired with Cat 6 networking throughout, Dolby Atmos 7.1 surround sound in the lounge, multi-zone speakers indoors and out, a Nest video doorbell, attic wiring for Starlink, and pre-wiring for solar. Ownership also includes access to Tahoe Donner’s unmatched amenities—recreation centers, pools, golf, tennis, downhill skiing, and private beach access at Donner Lake—while still enjoying a setting that feels private, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence or a mountain retreat where adventure begins at your doorstep, this Alder Creek home delivers an exceptional Tahoe lifestyle—trail-connected, sun-oriented, thoughtfully designed, and built for how people truly live in the mountains.
