Opportunities like this are nearly unheard of on Lake Tahoe's East Shore. A full acre of vacant land, privately tucked against granite outcroppings with direct adjacency to National Forest, is the kind of canvas most buyers only dream of. From this position you'll enjoy filtered views of Lake Tahoe, Castle Rock, and Heavenly Ski Resort, along with immediate access to world-class trails including Stinger and the Tahoe Rim. The lot previously supported development, which has been removed, and all coverage has been verified by TRPA. Utilities are already in place, significantly reducing the hurdles most vacant parcels face. Even better, the sellers invested in design work for a striking custom residence—fully approved by TRPA, the hardest step in the permitting process. Only Douglas County's final approval remains, a short and straightforward step, giving a buyer the option to break ground this building season or make final tweaks before construction begins. Location adds even more value: situated mid-Kingsbury Grade, the elevation is high enough for sweeping views yet low enough to avoid heavy snow loads. From here, you're minutes to Boulder and Stagecoach lifts, the lake's sandy beaches, and the entertainment of the casino corridor—all while enjoying Nevada's favorable tax advantages. An East Shore parcel of this size, with approvals in place and seclusion behind massive granite formations, is simply as rare as they come.
