1960 John Scott Trl, Alpine Meadows, CA 96146

Tucked away at the end of a quiet road in the Bear Creek Association, this timeless 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom mountain home enjoys exceptional privacy with an adjoining green lot, the soothing sound of Bear Creek, and views of a picturesque waterfall. Built in 1969 with quality materials that are hard to find today, it combines classic Tahoe charm with thoughtful updates for modern living. The location offers a rare sense of seclusion while still being only minutes from world-class skiing, the base-to-base gondola connecting Alpine Meadows and Palisades Tahoe, and endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and exploring. The light-filled interior was designed by an interior designer to capture as much natural light as possible, with vertical windows in the entry and stairwell, bay windows in two bedrooms, and warm redwood trim throughout. These architectural details bring the outdoors in, creating a serene mountain ambiance. The open living and dining areas feature soaring ceilings and a dramatic river rock fireplace with a ceramic glass door that provides both peace of mind and warmth on snowy winter days. Expansive redwood decks extend the living space and invite you to entertain, stargaze, or simply enjoy views of KT-22 framed by towering pines. The remodeled kitchen blends functionality with charm, offering a galley layout that allows multiple people to cook and prep with ease. It features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, butcher block counters, open shelving, decorative tile accents, and a brand-new Café range featuring Wi-Fi connectivity and a warming drawer installed in 2025. The half wall island opens toward the dining and living areas, creating a connected, social space while still offering definition between rooms. Bathrooms have been updated with modern vanities, and the home has benefited from substantial upgrades over the years, including double-pane windows, a high-quality roof replacement, upgraded insulation, and a variable-speed oil furnace for improved comfort and efficiency. Practicality is built into every detail. A covered outdoor closet, located just steps from the front door, keeps firewood and trash dry and easily accessible even in winter. Electric bear mats protect the home without obstructing use of the doors and windows. The property also has a smart irrigation system, high-speed internet, and a Wi-Fi mesh network that ensures strong coverage throughout the home and beyond. The Bear Creek Association provides exclusive amenities for homeowners, including a private swimming pond surrounded by scenic mountain views, walking trails for summer strolls or snowshoeing, and snow removal services that make winter access easier. Offered fully furnished, this property is move-in ready. Whether you envision it as your year-round basecamp for mountain adventures or a welcoming weekend retreat to share with friends and family, 1960 John Scott Trail offers a rare combination of privacy, quality craftsmanship, and modern convenience in one of Tahoe’s most desirable neighborhoods. The vacant 0.34 acre lot next door is also available to purchase for those who want to guarantee their continued privacy, build another home, or expand this already amazing property.
