LOCATION:

Located on the eastern slope of Donner Summit, just west of Donner Lake and near the year-round resort community of Truckee in the High Sierra, this mountain retreat property is only minutes from I-80 and Truckee, and only a half hour drive from Lake Tahoe and Reno.

LOCALE:

Historically known for the tragedy of the Donner Party, the Donner Lake area is now home to year-round outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, water-skiing and fishing during the summer months. During the winter months, world-class snow skiing can be found at numerous area ski resorts, including Sugar Bowl just a few minutes away. Fine dining and shopping is just ten minutes away in rustic downtown Truckee.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

This 70 acre parcel is located at the southern end of Billy Mack Canyon, which is situated between Old Highway 40 (Donner Pass Road) and Donner Summit and I-80. A babbling creek that originates in the mountains looming above, meanders through the property's fir forests and wildflower-filled meadows offering a tranquil setting for that new estate, as well as hiking, horseback riding, and small-stream fishing.

Access to the Property is via a shared private road with locked gate from Old Highway 40, which is the main artery from the neighborhoods around Donner Lake up to Donner Pass and Sugar Bowl. There are numerous potential building sites near the creek or in one of the sites that provides views to Donner Peak.

BROKER' S COMMENT: This is truly a very rare opportunity to own one of the last large parcels in the Donner Lake area. A property where one can have the privacy and elbow room of a more remote location, yet only a few minutes from all the amenities of Donner Lake, Donner Summit and Truckee. There' s plenty of room to build your new log lodge with views and privacy incomparable to any other. One must visit this property in person and walk the pastoral forests and creek to really get the feel of this classic High Sierra setting.
