About this neighborhood
Working in Tahoe Donner.
Tahoe Donner sits at the edge of Truckee proper, on wooded lots with a mix of legacy mountain homes and newer custom builds. Most clients are second-home owners — the right architecture here is designed for the way the home actually gets used: long weekends, holiday weeks, ski season, summer stretches. It needs to handle deep winters when nobody's there and feel lived-in fast when the family arrives.
Featured home
Fairway Lodge
2021 · 4,800 sf · 4 bed / 4.5 bath
Fairway Lodge is a four-bedroom mountain home with a floating walnut staircase as its center of gravity. Built on a tight uphill lot, the plan stacks vertically — entry and bedrooms below, great room and primary up top to grab the long views. A cantilevered outdoor fireplace lounge extends the living volume on warm nights and disappears under snow in winter without compromising the glazing.
