With only one electricity bill paid in the last 20 years, this property is an extraordinary example of green living, offering the perfect combination of innovation and comfort. Rebuilt from the studs in 2006, the home showcases a meticulous commitment to the environment, emphasizing sustainable building practices that harmonize with the pristine beauty of Lake Tahoe. As you approach the home via a charming covered walkway, you're greeted by an inviting foyer that leads into a breathtaking open concept kitchen, living, and dining area. The space is bathed in natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.

This home is crafted with eco-friendly materials, each chosen for its ability to contribute to an energy efficient and self sustaining lifestyle. The property is powered by 28 owned solar panels, generating a 5.2 kW system that powers the entire home and Tesla charger. The solar system sends excess power back to the grid, storing it for future use, ensuring minimal reliance on outside sources. In fact, only one electricity bill has been paid in the last two decades, thanks to its energy efficiency. The system requires minimal winter maintenance, including a de-icing feature for the solar panels that uses warm water running through copper pipes to melt snow. Additionally, the home features a fully owned 120 Solar Tube System that utilizes sunlight to heat copper tubing running throughout the home. The heated water is stored in a 970-gallon tank in the basement at 135°F, providing hot water throughout, and circulating through the forced air heater to supply all heating needs for the property. The home also includes high performance windows with high gain Low-e glass, capturing 70% of the heat while admitting only 30% of harmful UV rays, allowing abundant natural light while enhancing energy efficiency. Straight grain Douglas Fir has been used for all window and door trims, providing superior insulation, while soybean foam insulation made with non-toxic, chemical-free materials further boosts the home’s sustainability. It’s fully equipped with Energy Star appliances that reduce energy consumption while maintaining high performance, and a Tesla charger ensures convenient electric vehicle charging at home. The outdoor space is just as thoughtfully designed, with composite decking that requires minimal upkeep and long lasting durability. Inside, a Yodel high-efficiency wood stove with a marble backdrop radiates warmth, adding to the home’s eco-friendly charm. The driveway features drainage friendly pavers that blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty, enhanced by moss for added texture and green appeal. This home is more than just a sanctuary; it’s a harmonious blend of sustainability, luxury, and breathtaking natural beauty, a perfect reflection of the West Shore of Lake Tahoe.
