lake tahoe’s west shore has always played a different game. less flash, more substance. long stretches of shoreline, legacy estates, and dense forest that meets the water without apology. it is quieter, but not removed. intentional.
tahoma sits squarely in the middle of it. a compact lakeside community where you are minutes to multiple beaches, sugar pine point, and homewood mountain resort, yet still wrapped in pine trees and clean mountain air. coffee at tahoma market, sunset at chambers landing, ski laps on a winter morning, paddleboards on a summer afternoon. it all connects easily.
tahoe cedars is one of tahoma’s most established neighborhoods, bordered by conservancy land and trail access, with optional membership to a shared beach and pier. homes feel tucked in, but never cut off. you are close to everything that makes the west shore work - lake access, skiing, hiking, biking - without sacrificing privacy.
west shore living with real proximity. calm, but connected.
this home became our family’s west shore gathering place. with three generations split between new york and california, tahoe was where we came together to celebrate holidays and milestones.
what we loved most was the serenity. it felt like a true reset from new york city. we would stroll to the beach, grab coffee and pizza at tahoma market, watch sunsets at chambers landing, and spend winter weekends skiing at homewood.
the youngest members of our family, now 8 and 10, learned to ski on the gentle slopes at granlibakken before graduating to homewood. some of our favorite moments have been gathered around the fireplace après ski, swapping stories and cooking family meals in the open kitchen that naturally draws everyone in.
this home has been the backdrop for some of our very best times.
West Shore Lake Tahoe Basecamp Tall pines out back, trail access nearby, and the clean mountain air of Lake Tahoe - this West Shore home checks all the right boxes. Set on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoma’s Tahoe Cedars neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sits beside a conservancy-owned lot, creating privacy and an
open, wooded setting. Tahoe Cedars is known for its proximity to forest land, trail access, and walkability to Lake Tahoe beaches, with everyday stops like Tahoma Market, a nearby coffee shop, and West Shore staples like Chambers Landing just minutes away. A double-height entry finished in natural fieldstone sets the tone, opening to a vaulted upstairs living area with an easy, open flow. A natural fieldstone fireplace with a solid wood mantel anchors the space and gives the home a classic Tahoe feel. Large windows on three sides bring in abundant natural light and frame the surrounding trees. The kitchen offers generous counter space and a large center island designed for gathering, making it easy to cook, host, and linger long after the meal is done. The primary suite is generously scaled and designed as a true retreat, complete with a gas fireplace and a spa-style bath with soaking tub and separate shower. A powder room on the main living level keeps entertaining easy. Downstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms, a large full bath with dual sinks, and a flexible bonus room with a built-in bar create a natural second living zone. Ideal for multi-generational stays, visiting friends, or giving everyone space after a full day on the mountain or at the lake. Upper and lower decks extend life outdoors, paired with a private hot tub that makes winter nights and summer stargazing equally appealing. A dedicated laundry room and oversized garage offer the kind of storage every Tahoe basecamp needs.
Built in 2007 and owned by the same family since, the home has been well cared for and selectively used as a short-term rental. Optional membership in the Tahoe Cedars Property Owners’ Association is approximately $120 per year and provides access to the shared beach, pier, and neighborhood park, along with community events and seasonal activities. Buoy program details are available upon request. Homewood Mountain Resort, Sugar Pine Point State Park, and miles of hiking and biking trails are all close by. A true four-season Lake Tahoe home. Designed for ski weekends, summer lake days, and the kind of multi-gen gatherings that turn trips into traditions.
