Discover a rare opportunity to own a premier residential lot in the desirable Serene Lakes neighborhood. This oversized lot—approximately 40% larger than average neighborhood parcels—offers ideal terrain with a gentle upslope for design flexibility and efficient snow runoff. This exceptional parcel places you steps away from mountain living and endless outdoor adventure. Located less than 300 feet from Lot 1 Beach, this property backs to Donner Truckee Land Trust, protected open space with direct access to trails, which convert to 100+ miles of groomed Royal Gorge cross-country ski trails in the winter. Enjoy expansive views of Castle Peak and Serene Lakes from your future home site. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts: close to world-class skiing (alpine, telemark, XC, backcountry), hiking, biking (mountain, road, e-bike), snowshoeing, climbing on Donner Pass, and water sports on Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. Fly fishing nearby on the Truckee, Yuba, and American Rivers. Just minutes from historic Donner Summit and the Pacific Crest Trail. Only 15 minutes from downtown Truckee, you'll have easy access to fine dining, boutique shopping, and renowned golf courses. As a member of the local HOA, you'll also enjoy private beach access and a calendar full of fun community events. This is more than a home — it’s your year-round mountain lifestyle, ready and waiting. Don’t miss this limited chance to build your dream mountain home in one of the most enchanting and adventure-filled locations in the Sierras.
