Investment Advantage Included: Beyond the main residence and potential ADU, this property comes with a potential $270,000 worth of transferable development rights (9 RUUs). Imagine the possibilities for future expansion or realizing a substantial return on investment in the Tahoe Basin's unique RUU market. Potential buyers of the additional RUU's are Owners of undeveloped residential lots (with Potential Residential Units of Use - PRUs): These individuals hold the right to build but need a Residential Allocation to form a complete RUU. Additional RUU's could be attractive to homeowners looking to build an ADU for family, rental income, or other purposes. Developers who build custom homes or smaller residential projects in the Tahoe Basin constantly need a supply of RUUs to facilitate their projects. The potential value of the approximately 9 extra Residential Units of Use (RUUs) is currently estimated at $270,000. However, this valuation is directly influenced by the prevailing conditions of the Lake Tahoe real estate market and may vary. This property offers substantial power capacity—ample enough to support the installation of approximately 5–6 Tesla chargers, presenting a unique opportunity for added convenience or potential side income.
