More Tahoe Lakefront Homes - Favorite of the Day




Great value on the North Shore, very competitive in price and VALUE. Homeowner's pier and buoys by application to membership. Four bedrooms, heated driveway, quiet street.

Summer: Food, Fashions, Flowers






Every Thursday the Commons Beach in Tahoe City is transformed for a few hours into a popular summer gathering and shopping spot. Today I found two food items, new to me: snack of dried yellow lentils - yum, and Spinach Bolani - vegetarian and a bit like a pizza, but light. Both are from the Indian market booths.

Squaw Valley & Alpine Meadows


condos of the Sierra come close to a price for the "everyman buyer". It's not too early to be thinking ahead. Prices are the best they have been in years. Interest rates are showing a small rise. DON'T WAIT.

Properties can be purchased for great prices when they are listed as short sales (properties being sold for less than is owed to the bank by the seller), bank-owned properties (already owned by the bank through the foreclosure process), and motivated sellers. Todays featured properties show great deals in the Tahoe Donner area of Truckee. Check them out via the above link. Truckee is the first town you approach on Interstate 80 when travelling from Reno or the Sacramento/Bay Areas. It has old railroad town charm with a rustic downtown full of shopping and dining opportunities.

Soroptomist Wine Tasting at Coyote Moon was a Big Hit



Truckee River Winery poured some of their latest offerings at the Soroptomist Annual Wine Tasting Fund Raiser held Saturday at Coyote Moon. The event was a smash and earned the Soroptomists approximately $20,000 to better the lives of women and children throughout our community! We had a lot of fun and recommend everyone check it out next year!

France overlooking Beautiful Lake Tahoe


This "chateau" will transport you as soon as you drive up and step inside. The scale of home includes a dining room table which comfortably seats twelve. You may experience the feeling you are in two places at once. A fine experience of "bi-location"; and one doesn't even have to be "Beamed Up".

Squaw Valley Again...value here


Excellent value here for ever popular Squaw Valley. A fine place to raise a family or get away with friends for fun in the SUN and on the SLOPES.

BANK OWNED PROPERTIES


Links feature properties which are especially attrative in locations and pricing. The listings may vary greatly in price. Our opinion is they are all Well Priced for the area and amenities they represent.

Beauty from Tahoe Park Heights







We love the way this house feels when we walk in!
Timber frame construction supplies the architecture for a meticulous interior. G. Boutier is a stone craftsman of exceptional talent from the south of France; the same quality and detail one finds throughout the home. Views from this part of West Shore are exceptional. Next best thing from a lakefront to enjoy the magic.


Happy Birthday WKF

Anne is creating a funny Birthday card for her grandson since she can't be with him in person so he knows she is thinking of him and wishes she could be there.

Lake Tahoe High, Low of the Week

Tomorrow is tour day again: agents and brokers in the Lake Tahoe area will have the opportunity to review available listings. Perhaps we will have more intimate photos tomorrow after the tour.

The low is a cute, clean cottage on the West Shore.
The high is another lakefront estate. Quite pricey.
Will also note other propeties in this category as the lakefront tours progress in the next few weeks.

Home is so important. A good environment for young children was the attraction which brought us all to the Lake Tahoe area.
