An exceptional development opportunity in Lake Forest, a favorite neighborhood in Tahoe City. This level 100' x 100' lot offers the rare chance to consider building new in an established Tahoe City neighborhood, just steps from the Coast Guard Boat Launch and minutes from Skylandia Beach and Bristlecone Beach. A topographical survey is completed and corners are marked at the property. The existing 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin served as a full-time residence until earlier this year and retains classic Tahoe character throughout. While livable, the home is best positioned as a renovation project or a placeholder for a future custom build. Whether you're envisioning a new mountain modern retreat or a thoughtful restoration of the original cabin, the location, lot dimensions, and proximity to the lake make this a compelling canvas. Opportunities in Lake Forest of this caliber are increasingly rare. Come walk the lot and see the potential.
