The Meadows

is located adjacent to Glenshire-Devonshire.  This is a gated neighborhood consisting of properties of 5-20 acres in size.  Like Glenshire, this area is low snow.  The topography is relatively level.  There are some great views of the Truckee River and the eastern Sierra mountains.  There are no amenities in this subdivsion but it does have a homeowner’s association that governs an architectural committee. 

Water is supplied by a combination of The Truckee Donner Public Utility District or private wells, depending on the parcel.  Some properties have sewer and some have septic, again depending on the parcel.  Power is either Sierra Pacific Power or Truckee Donner Public Utility District.

Donner Lake Turkey Trot Cancelled!! November 13th 2011

November 12, 2011

In its 34th year, advertised as running no matter what — rain or shine, the Auburn Ski Club was forced to cancel the Donner Lake Turkey Trot scheduled for Sunday, November 13, 2012.

Citing the concern over the slipperiness of the road, the Truckee Police Department put the kibosh on the race on Thursday afternoon.  Sorry everyone — a lot of disappointed runners out there.

I’m going to try to make it around the lake tomorrow without slipping — by myself — not in a race — if you would like to join me, be there at 10:30 am.

A Trip to the Frontier – Plumas & Sierra Counties

August 23, 2011

jbome Yesterday Jennifer and I had to make a trip to our listing at 12 Moss, located in Loyalton (Sierra County).  The home is currently in escrow after only about 10 days on the market — unheard of in these times.  The home inspector couldn’t turn on the instant hot water heater so we decided to go see for ourselves.  We were successful.  Managed to turn it on without blowing ourselves up and test that there really was hot water.  Sometimes it is difficult selling a home which is 40 miles up the road — not too many suppliers and/or contractors located up there and, we noticed, everything moves a lot slower.

Since we were up this way, we decided to take our dogs and husbands and get in a short (1 hour) hike in the area of Packer Lake.  This summer has been and continues to be green as you can see in the following pictures.

Just thought you would like to see another reason why we LOVE SELLING THE HIGH SIERRAS!!


12 Moss Drive –10 Beautiful Wooded Acres + a Home $199,999

July 20, 2011

frontofhouse Located just minutes from downtown Loyalton, California this hardly lived in ranch style home is surrounded by tall pines and privacy.  You cannot see another home from your front or back deck or any window.  Although there are lots of trees, the house itself is perched on a totally leveled off  and sunny pad which includes lots and lots of space to keep all of your toys such as boats and RV’s.  This is the perfect spot for full time livers who work in Reno, retirees or a secluded vacation home.

This home was built with care and attention to detail.  There is lots of wood trim including a pine vaulted ceiling.  The kitchen was designed with the chef in mind.  It has a 5 burner gas range, Bosch dishwasher and upgraded cabinets.  Everyone knows that when you live in the forest you need a place to store your stuff so the builder made the garage an over sized model.

Loyalton is located 30.2 miles from the Truckee Town limits in the beautiful and verdant Sierra Valley.
