Truckee and Lake Tahoe real estate have often been listed among some of the best places to live and own homes. Lake Tahoe, California has just been named again in Barron’s Cover as #7 for Best Places for Second Homes. The article was written by Steven M. Sears & Mark Veverka on March 7, 2011. Here is a link to read the entire article entitled Best Places for Second Homes.
The article says that “The best place for a vacation home is Martis Camp in the northern reaches. It’s a five-year-old 2,177-acre master-planned development that has skiing, championship golf, a competition pool, fine dining and a great fishing hole. It will serve you well in summer, and even better in winter — an exclusive chair lift connects the village to the Northstar-at-Lake Tahoe slopes, offering rare ski-in/ski-out convenience.”
