One of the most remarkable settings found on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe, this incomparable property enjoys the largest privately owned section of the Upper Truckee River. 940 Sunset Dr is suitably named for its western exposure that captures direct views of stunning sunsets over distant Mt Tallac. This 27-acre estate property is mostly river and meadow land, but also includes a 3.5-acre flat building site with an existing 3bd/2ba home and a 2-car garage. With 30% coverage, the base allowable coverage on this portion of the parcel is 39,060-sf. Although zoned Conservation, there exists options for expansion of the current, very modest home, as well as the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit. The home sits well off the road and is angled appropriately to convey the utmost privacy. A steep gable roof, knotty cedar cladding and a rear covered deck provide a traditional rustic feel and a look into Tahoe's past. Enjoy serene riverside walks down to the lake or take the bike path that bridges across this property to provide access all the way the Camp Rich and some of the best beaches on Lake Tahoe. This legacy property is being sold for the first time since the Johnson Family acquired it in the 1800's.
