Our team has a new listing at 520 Sugarpine that made its debut on Tuesday’s broker tour. Located in the low/mid elevation Ponderosa subdivision with lots of trees and excellent sun exposure. A pleasant surprise for those agents that attended the tour. Upon entry the soaring ceiling and wall of windows really grab your attention. This well maintained home has four bedrooms including a bonus room with separate entry. The spacious, southern facing deck will be great for outdoor relaxation, a small peak of the lake if you stand in the right spot. Even better news is the two car detached garage which is a must! The list price of $719,000 is attractive based on the current competition with the added bonus of the 2 car garage and condition. Preview virtual tour:

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency imposes uncommonly stringent environmental and design restrictions on new construction—a fact that has contributed to the preservation of one of the country’s marquee lake districts and to no small degree of hand-wringing among architects. Roderick Ashley, for one, was told that the modest bipartite building he envisioned for an Incline Village, Nevada, lakefront site would take at least a year and most likely several trips back to the drawing board to gain approval.

But that didn’t happen. “We sailed right through,” says Ashley, a principal of TVA Architects in Portland, Oregon, “because, while the design is so non-Tahoe, the construction so non-Tahoe, the scale is right. Our intention was right. We weren’t pushing the boundaries or asking for concessions—we took a minimal approach in differentiating the building from the landscape, which in the end is what everyone wants to protect.”
A retreat consisting of two mirror-image structures housing a guest residence and a studio/library, and mediated by a graveled sculpture garden, the project was commissioned by a philanthropist to honor her late husband. An “inward” composition of 4,500 square feet of enclosed space designed to foster thought and reflection (“The conversation,” Ashley says, “is back and forth between the two buildings”), it nevertheless embraces its forested site and the fabled Sierra Nevada-ringed, cobalt-blue lake it overlooks.
The north shore is a high-premium alpine region where steel-and-concrete construction is an anomaly, as are flat roofs (even though the snow load is less than in other parts of the area). Barely visible from the water or the street, the small compound exists as Lake Tahoe’s secret pocket of modernism—a combination of rigor, understatement and transparency that might well have been a model for this climate had modern technology and sensibilities been factors in past eras.
The two buildings are primarily board-formed (a nod to rusticity), poured-in-place concrete, which appears as an extension of the decomposed-granite soil. Mahogany siding clads the nonbearing walls. Roofs are mahogany-and-steel-faced concrete slabs supported by exposed-steel columns on the interior and a single steel column at each exterior (echoing the verticality of the pines). Floor-to-ceiling glass walls establish the overall, and defining, indoor-outdoor character.

Essentially one room for entertaining and sleeping—with custom furnishings designed by the owner—the guest residence contains as well a kitchen, a bath and a walk-in closet/dressing area. Completing the plan are a garage and storage for groundskeeping equipment. A Howard Hodgkin monotype commands the main living space as it visually balances, when seen from the graveled garden, the similarly scaled artworks outside.
Across the long stretch of gravel lie the library and the studio, which doubles as a conference room and is adjoined by a butler’s pantry and a powder room. A walkway leads down to the sandy beach. With both buildings, concrete encases the more utilitarian parts not requiring natural light or view exposure, while the glazed rooms extend, seemingly suspended, toward the lake. Deep roof overhangs protect from sun and snow.
Flooring is a concrete aggregate (except in the minor spaces, where it is black granite) from the nearby Truckee River, buffed on the interiors and left rough for the terraces. “The play of concrete is very subtle,” Ashley observes. “It goes from polished and refined inside to a fractured aggregate as it marches out to the garden.”
The landscaping was one of the last projects by the late Robert Murase, a noted Portland landscape architect who, having studied with Isamu Noguchi, honored the ancient Japanese tradition of positioning stones within nature. Carved stone works by Murase and his son Scott, along with their centrally placed arrangement of rusted steel and white marble, are prominent. Lee Kelly’s site-specific works add to the collection, predominantly his Cor-Ten steel sculpture that gives the east side, says Ashley, “both a functional barrier and an abstracted opening to the view.”

The elder Murase’s graveled garden is a stunning allée lined with Swedish aspens and bridged by a slatted-wood boardwalk, the compound’s connective spine. An essential aspect of the architectural dynamic, the garden is luxuriously spare; however, only three trees were removed from the property and more than 150 new ones planted upon completion of construction. Native plants have been reestablished and left to intrude into the gravel, a ground cover that minimizes soil erosion in the wet months. (Other sustainable elements include the disposal of storm water on-site, radiant-heated floors and a high level of insulation.)
“In order to remain a national treasure, the visual quality of the built environment and the way it fits into the natural setting becomes critical,” reads the Tahoe Region-al Planning Agency’s design standards and guidelines—as if to foretell the addition of this smart, simple building, so light on the land and rich in contextual detail.

When was the last time a two bedroom McCloud was priced below $450,000? Looking back through the MLS records the answer lies somewhere between the latter part of 2003 through 2004! Unit 170 on the Incline Way side listed at $439,000 two weeks ago and went into escrow within a week. There are currently 17 McCloud 2 BR’s listed with Unit #231 on the Incline Way side priced at $495,000. Remember Unit #25 on the Village side sold in January 2009 for $465,000.
Over at Third Creek ,on the gated side, a three bedroom unit dropped its price from $725,000 (already the 2nd lowest priced unit of the 10 listed 3BR’s) to $600,000 on June 18th and went into escrow on June 22nd. Again we are looking at prices not seen since late 2004.
You do not want to miss out on these two BEST BUYs, 783 Freels Peak (Summit Townhomes) and 198 Country Club #17 (Country Club Villas). The Summit Townhome is offered for $825,000 (2786 SQ Ft, 3BR and 2.5 Baths with two car garage) and the Country Club Villa is offered for $899,000 (2130 SQ Ft, 3BR and 2.5 Baths with two car garage). Great Opportunities for quality properties. Forget about cruising the bottom for those distressed fixer uppers as this is as good as it gets!
