  Sugar Pine Estate is a small, little-known neighborhood in Truckee….if you don’t live here, you most likely don’t know where it is. It reflects the pioneering spirit of the locals here:  No gates or guards, lots of space and privacy, an “off-the-grid” feel of full-time welcoming neighbors who have known each other for years, and some of the most coveted acreage in the area boasting no fees or neighborhood associations.  Something Old Greenwood, Gray’s Crossing, Martis Camp and Lahontan cannot offer.   With backdoor access to acres of national forest and some of the best hiking, biking cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and running trails Truckee has to offer, you can’t go wrong having a home here.   From your house, you can mountain bike on Emigrant trail all the way to Stampede, Boca ...

  July 2014 Events in Truckee and Lake Tahoe   Aahhh...Summer is here with blue skies, cool breeze and lots of fun events to attend. You just have to set your priorities and go out there...have some fun.   Personally, I love Farmers Market with all the fresh fruits and vegetables, not to mention the best bread selections from local bakery shops and others as far as Davis. Hiking and Mountain biking are also high on my list along with running on Legacy Trail training for my next half marathon Water to Wine in August. Rafting on the Truckee River is another refreshing activity on a hot summer day. In the evening there are many local music events, most of them free, just bring your low back chair and sit back for a most enchanting outdoor concert event. But these are not the only events yo...

Did you know that most people only walk 900-1000 steps on a daily basis? After learning this fact, I became committed to the Truckee Walking Challenge to become a better walker and increase my distance each day. I began the Community Walking Challenge at their kickoff April 30. The organizer Tahoe Forest Health System is encouraging everyone to get up and get moving. Participants vow to walk 10,000 steps a day for each day in May. It’s free to sign up and you can get a pedometer for only $10 at the Tahoe Center for Health and Sports Performance. Call 587-3769 for more details. And it’s not too late! If you sign up on May 10th, you would simply up your walking schedule to 14,720 steps each day. By the end of the month you’re all caught up. I decided to enter the Challenge as part of my D...

The Truckee real estate market has many parrallels to the national market. Prices have risen throughout the year and available inventory in many neighborhoods is at all time lows. The Glenshire area is known as the locals neighborhood. With a great elementary school, pond, trails, pool, tennis court, open space and a low snow area, it is a great place to raise a family.   Please check out our latest market update for current inventory, sales and trends.
