The Glades at Northstar California

The Truckee/Lake Tahoe area has seen some interesting times over the last 12 months. While opposing and resisting truths and ideas in our area dual it out, occasionally there comes a time when I feel the need to lighten the load, share some positive news, and introduce new concepts. The latest concept comes from local developer East West Partners in a new on-mountain community called The Glades, located at Northstar California. The concept is not new; in fact, EWP just mimicked what worked so well in Bachelor Gulch, and developed a smaller scale product within the Northstar ski resort. What results is an entirely unique neighborhood within the Lake Tahoe region, and dare I say, within California: 25 ski in/ski out homesites are cleverly integrated into the ski resort, and developers were thoughtful with the design of 3 ski back trail access, all culminating in the lift lines of the Timberline lift. These homesites have a variety of attributes, from mountain views to premium ski run visibility and access, and our visionaries (local architects who have spent many days examining the sites and designing homes which may fit) have generously shared their ideas for different home styles and designs for each lot. The site has to be seen to appreciate. Contact me for more information and to schedule a personal tour of The Glades at Northstar California!
