Welcome to the TAHOE TIMBER ESTATE! Backing to open space in Tahoe Donner with nearby ponds and streams, this gorgeous, handcrafted log home offers the kind of mountain setting that is getting harder to find. Surrounded by tall pines and natural landscape, the property feels quiet and removed while still offering convenient access to Tahoe Donner amenities, trail systems, and year-round recreation. Built with impressive scale and craftsmanship, the home blends large log construction with warm, comfortable living spaces designed for gathering and slowing down after a day outside. The great room is filled with natural light from a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the trees, while vaulted ceilings with massive beam work with a stone hearth gas woodstove create a space that feels both expansive and welcoming. Open to a large kitchen and dining room, the connection to the outdoors carries throughout the home, with multiple decks, peaceful forest views, and easy access to the surrounding landscape. With more than 4,000 square feet across two levels, the floor plan offers flexibility for full time living, vacation use, or hosting large groups. Upstairs, separate bedroom wings are connected by an elevated walkway overlooking the main living area below, adding architectural character and privacy to the layout. Additional living spaces including a family room, loft, den, and bonus space providing plenty of room to spread out while still maintaining a comfortable flow throughout the home.

The setting offers a true sense of being in the mountains without feeling isolated.

Whether imagined as an additional entertaining area, gym or private theater with wine cellar, the space gives the next owner flexibility to create something tailored to their needs. There is also substantial storage space for seasonal gear and equipment. Additional features include hydronic heat, a heated driveway for easier winter access, a new 24,000 watt generator, and close proximity to Tahoe Donner's extensive amenities including recreation centers, pools, golf, tennis, dining, donner lake private beach and miles of hiking and biking trails.
