Stunning Custom Mountain Retreat with Unrivaled Panoramic Views! Perched high on one of Tahoe Donner’s most coveted ridgelines, 12096 Skislope Way is a truly exceptional luxury mountain home offering awe-inspiring, unobstructed panoramic views of Donner Lake that stretch from the iconic peaks of Northstar Ski Resort to the dramatic contours of Tinker's Knob. From your Great Room, expansive decks, and luxurious primary suite, soak in breathtaking vistas that include the historic railroad line threading through the snow sheds below and the sparkling blue waters of Donner Lake. This custom-crafted residence blends rustic mountain charm with refined finishes and top-tier craftsmanship. Every detail was thoughtfully designed for both elegance and comfort. The heart of the home is the open-concept Great Room, featuring vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and walls of glass that frame the incredible alpine scenery. The chef’s kitchen is equally impressive, anchored by massive slab granite countertops and equipped with professional-grade Viking appliances. Shaker-style cherry cabinetry, Mountain Forge hand-forged iron accents, and rich distressed cherry hardwood floors tie the home’s warm, upscale aesthetic together beautifully. Retreat to the primary suite, a private sanctuary with serene views, direct access to the deck and hot tub, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath. Relax in the jetted Jacuzzi tub while listening to the peaceful sounds of a babbling brook water feature just outside your window — a truly rare and tranquil element in any mountain setting. Outdoor living is elevated with multiple view decks, a lower-level patio, and a private hot tub — all designed to maximize your enjoyment of the spectacular setting. Whether you're sipping morning coffee at sunrise or unwinding after a day on the slopes, the ever-changing mountain landscape provides an unforgettable backdrop year-round. This home is not just a residence, but an experience — a rare opportunity to own one of Tahoe Donner’s most iconic and visually commanding properties. A perfect blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty — this is mountain living at its finest. Do not miss the chance to make this alpine masterpiece your own.
