2670 Quail Lane Homewood, CA 96141-0000

Extensively remodeled and updated in 2004, this inviting mountain home places world class recreation quite literally at your doorstep. Step outside and immediately access hiking, snowshoeing, cross country and backcountry downhill skiing, plus direct entry to the Stanford Rock trail system, Twin Peaks, and the Tahoe Rim/Pacific Crest Trail — all without ever getting in the car. And when lake days call, the sparkling shores of Hurricane Bay are just a short stroll away. Located only three miles south of Tahoe City, the home offers effortless proximity to everything the West Shore and greater Tahoe region provide. Inside, a cozy stone wood burning fireplace anchors the living area, complemented by granite slab stonework throughout the home. The primary suite features its own bath and a private hot tub deck with a peek-a-boo lake view — a perfect retreat after a day on the trails. A large, sun soaked south facing deck extends the living space outdoors, ideal for long afternoons of relaxation or stargazing under Tahoe's famously clear night skies. Two versatile bonus rooms enhance the home's functionality: a granite counter laundry/office with separate exterior access and abundant natural light, and a spacious unfinished, heated flex room suited for a gym, game room, studio, family room, 4th bedroom dorm, extensive multi-season gear storage, or creative workspace. Hydronic heating runs throughout the home, powered by a brand-new natural gas boiler for efficient year-round comfort in all rooms including both bonus rooms. A separate art studio/meditation outbuilding offers yet another peaceful escape, complete with its own view deck. Thoughtful craftsmanship is evident everywhere — exterior trim, gable ends, chimney accents, and deck pickets have been hand scalloped or carved with native wildlife motifs, adding character and charm unique to this property by the owner/contractor/artist. The original plans included a two-car garage, providing an option for future expansion should the next owner wish to explore it. With granite counters in the country style kitchen, multiple flexible spaces, and direct access to some of Tahoe's most iconic outdoor destinations, this home blends warmth, artistry, and adventure in a truly exceptional West Shore setting. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary with high quality and superb finishes, with artistic built-in sculpture, bonus rooms for new owner creativity and artistic outbuildings plus a huge sun-soaked deck you walk off to access the National Forest then you have to see this property! Hiking and backcountry skiing right out your back door— (See the picture of the owner skiing down to this property), great back country ski access! Quiet and private backing to thousands of acres of National Forest and a Conservancy lot in front but with easy winter access you can't beat this!
