Set within Tahoe Meadows, one of South Lake Tahoe's most cherished lakeside enclaves, this handcrafted log home offers something increasingly rare: a true legacy cabin in a community built around summers at the lake and decades of shared tradition. The 2,756-square-foot, two-story log home sits on a flat, 0.59-acre lot and carries a build that would be difficult to replicate today. The logs were hand-selected, milled, and assembled by a master log builder in British Columbia, then disassembled, trucked to Tahoe, and rebuilt on site. Towering pines, private roads, and direct community access to the lake create an atmosphere reminiscent of an older Tahoe, when summers were spent at the beach and generations of families returned to the same cabins year after year.Inside, an open-concept great room anchors the home with a floor-to-ceiling hand-laid river-rock fireplace with gas insert, vaulted tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed log beams, and oversized windows framing the surrounding aspen and pine forest. The kitchen features granite counters, knotty-pine cabinetry, glass-front uppers, a built-in refrigerator, gas cooktop, and a live-edge raised bar crafted on site. Custom artisan millwork runs throughout, including a hand-built log staircase and railing, a log-arched bench and bookshelf entry nook, built-in library shelving, and handcrafted log bedroom furniture.Five bedrooms include a private primary retreat with a log-railed balcony, vaulted ceilings, and forest views, plus distinctive guest rooms with hidden storage. The home is served by a private well, with the wellhead set in the back yard. Radiant-heated bathroom floors, a standalone soaking tub, and handcrafted accents throughout the baths add comfort and character.The expansive backyard feels private, surrounded by trees and natural landscape. There's room for a hot tub, lawn games, and plenty of space for nights with family and friends under the stars. A garage and storage building near the front of the home holds gear and tools.Tahoe Meadows offers private community beach access, a summer activities supervisor, Saturday campfires and ball games, a Fourth of July parade, and an on-site caretaker. Buoys are available through the HOA, adding rare lake access a short walk from the door. Minutes from Heavenly, the casinos at Stateline, and the shops and dining of Heavenly Village, with the shoreline close by, this property is one of a kind in Tahoe.A handcrafted legacy cabin in the heart of Tahoe Meadows, built with true log-home craftsmanship and surrounded by one of South Lake Tahoe's most beloved lakeside communities.
