Sale Price $919,000

Congratulations to our buyer on securing a property that truly works for them—today and well into the future. This Tahoe Donner purchase checks every box.

Through a well-executed 1031 exchange, our clients secured a property that offers both immediate cash flow and long-term value. Not only does this home provide a beautiful mountain retreat, but it also includes a permitted ADU creating built-in income from day one.

Income Potential with Permitted ADU

Property Overview: 2221 Silver Fox Court

Set within one of Tahoe’s premier mountain communities, this Tahoe Quarterly Mountain Home Award-winning residence offers a rare combination of luxury, location, and lifestyle.

Expanding the Vision: 2217 Silver Fox Court sold for $650,000

To further enhance their long-term goals, our clients also secured the adjacent privacy lot. This additional acquisition not only protects the surrounding space, but it also creates a unique compound defined by privacy, flexibility, and future potential. Whether held as-is or developed over time, the opportunity to control neighboring land is both rare and valuable in Tahoe.

Strategy Meets Opportunity

In today’s market, successful purchases are often the result of both timing and strategy. In this case, aligning the primary residence with the adjacent lot created a cohesive vision—one that balances lifestyle with smart investment.

Additionally, opportunities like this highlight the importance of understanding not just the property, but also the broader landscape, including future use, privacy, and long-term value.

A Thoughtful Approach to Tahoe Real Estate

Whether you’re searching for a ski-in/ski-out home, building a legacy property, or identifying strategic land acquisitions, having the right guidance is key. Because of that, we take pride in helping clients look beyond the immediate purchase—focusing instead on how each decision fits into a larger vision.

Congratulations to our clients on this incredible milestone. It’s an honor to be part of your journey and to help bring your Tahoe vision to life.

1 Bedroom Loft | 1 Bathroom | 736 SF

Offered at $545,000

Condo living at 3180 Aspen Grove

Highlights:

  • Forested views + abundant natural light

  • Cozy living room fireplace

  • Easy access to Northstar Village + gondola

  • Northstar resort-style amenities
