Discover the perfect blend of adventure, serenity, and potential in this centrally located Carnelian Bay retreat. Positioned approximately 100 yards away from the Nightingale Trailhead, this property offers immediate access to some of North Lake Tahoe's most beloved hiking, biking, and year-round recreation trails. Set against a peaceful forest backdrop, the home delivers the Tahoe lifestyle buyers seek: space for all your mountain gear paired with the tranquility of a true woodland sanctuary. Coveted south-facing exposure fills the home with natural light throughout the day, beautifully highlighting vaulted wood ceilings and open-concept living spaces designed for gathering and relaxing. A spacious rear deck and hot tub overlooking the forest, creating a private setting for aprs-ski evenings or summer nights under the pines. The sun-drenched front yard and driveway provide easy year-round access and welcoming curb appeal. Storage and functionality truly set this property apart. An attached two-car garage offers substantial internal storage for vehicles and everyday gear, while a massive detached workshop with 220 electrical service, creates an ideal environment for hobbyists, craftsmen, or Tahoe adventurers needing dedicated space for paddleboards, snowblowers, bikes, and all-season projects.
