Set within one of South Lake Tahoe's premier neighborhoods, 2361 Tolteca Court offers a rare convergence of privacy, scale, and thoughtful modernization. Backing to forested land on an expansive 0.54-acre homesite, the setting feels both protected and immersed in nature, with filtered views and direct access to the quiet beauty that defines Tahoe living. Originally constructed in 1976 and freshly remodeled, the residence spans approximately 3,206 square feet with five bedrooms and four baths. The floor plan is generous and adaptable, offering flexibility for additional sleeping quarters, multi-generational living, or dedicated work-from-home space. Laundry facilities on both levels enhance daily functionality, while in-floor radiant heat throughout delivers consistent, refined comfort during the winter months. A whole-home automatic backup generator ensures continuity and peace of mind in every season. Designed for both retreat and gathering, expansive decks extend the living experience outdoors. A curated seating area with fire pit and integrated media viewing creates a natural setting for evenings under the pines, whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night beneath the stars. The large, forest-backed lot offers exceptional privacy, while a whimsical children's playhouse with zip line adds a sense of play and permanence-an invitation to create lasting Tahoe memories. Eligible for a Vacation Home Rental (VHR) permit, the property offers flexibility for both personal enjoyment and potential rental use. With substantial square footage, a spacious garage, and a setting that balances seclusion with neighborhood prestige, this property represents a distinctive opportunity in today's Tahoe market-where design, infrastructure, and environment align for those who value both comfort and connection to the landscape.
