A WEST COAST RARITY
This secluded property is unlike any residential land development opportunity remaining in Tahoe, Jackson Hole, Deer Valley, Park City, Sun Valley, Aspen, Vail or Whistler Blackcomb. With over a decade of preparation invested in its sustainable development preparation, from checking for endangered species to best-in-class fire preparedness, this exceptional location is the place to build something extraordinary. Just minutes to 6,000 ski-able acres at Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley, on-site access to trails and surrounded by U.S. Forest Service land proximate to Granite Chief Wilderness, this natural gem is a private oasis.
Alpenglow holds a Tentative Subdivision Map (TSM), Certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Conditional Use Permit allowing for 38 custom homesites and a central amenity center. A half-mile drive to the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort Base Area will deliver owners to the vast array of ski terrain and lift options at Alpine Meadows. Additionally, with the new Palisades Tahoe Express base-to-base gondola currently under construction, Alpenglow residents will be able to access the expansive Olympic Valley Ski Resort via a 16 minute gondola ride from the Alpine Meadows Ski Resort Base Area. Alpenglow will be the first new development offering in Alpine Meadows in a generation, creating the last opportunity to introduce new purpose-built “Work from Anywhere” mountain residences to capture a surging demand in the market for new, modern inventory. With the existing approvals in place, Alpenglow is positioned to start construction in Spring 2024.

PRIVATE ENTRANCE
Unrivaled proximity to one of the nation’s greatest natural playgrounds.
Alpine Meadows and Olympic Valley combined their resorts in 2011 to create a mountain experience like no other in California, with over 6,000 ski-able acres of varied terrain spread across eight Sierra Nevada mountain peaks, boasting some of North America’s highest average annual snowfall. The two resorts are a short 10 minute drive from each other, offer shuttle services between them and all season passes and lift tickets allow guests to enjoy skiing and riding on both mountains.
The first of its kind in North America, the Base to Base Gondola connects the two base areas of Palisades Tahoe, finally uniting the resort. Guests will enjoy easy access to 6,000 acres of some of the continent’s most iconic ski and snowboard terrain. The Gondola transports guests between The Village at Palisades Tahoe and the Alpine Lodge, with the option for expert skiers and riders to unload at the KT-22 mid-station. The ride from The Village to Alpine takes about 16 minutes and allows guests to experience both mountains without adding vehicles on the road.
Alpine Meadows is renowned for its vast terrain, authentic friendliness, and family vibe. Alpine Meadows alone features 2400 acres of ski terrain serviced by 13 lifts and a vertical drop of 1,802 feet. It’s known for its varied terrain ranging from beginner to advanced trails, expert terrain, family-friendly ski school and race programs. With 450 inches of annual snowfall, Alpine Meadows often has the longest snow season among the Lake Tahoe ski resorts.
Alpine Meadows is a premiere ski resort and community in North Lake Tahoe, CA, and a favorite of San Francisco Bay Area residents and Tahoe locals since it opened in 1961.
The community of Alpine Meadows is home to over 600 residential units. Largely comprised of second homes, these residents are drawn to Alpine’s proximity to world-class skiing, and access to endless back country trails for hiking, snow shoeing, mountain biking and beautiful views. Alpine Meadows is ideally located with Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River, restaurants, shops and all the activities of Tahoe City and Truckee just minutes away.

The Tahoe-Truckee region has been amid a major real estate boom for nearly a decade as workplace culture has become more tolerant of hybrid and remote work. Northern California consumers, heavily influenced by the tech industry, have taken advantage of this untethering from the workplace to find residence on a full-time or co-primary basis. Even the reopening of offices has maintained a culture tolerant of hybrid work that enables more time in the mountains than the previously established weekend warrior pattern.
Q2-2020 through Q2-2022 were the most prolific for the region establishing benchmark highs for total transactions, pricing and scarcity of inventory. The period from Q2-2022 through Q2-2023 were marked by historically thin inventory and the absence of distress leading to resilient pricing despite fewer total transactions.
Northern California consumers remain exceptionally well qualified for cash and low leverage purchases and interested in properties that deliver urban values of walkability and community engagement within a mountain resort setting.
