Owning Lake Tahoe Property

For years Incline Village and North Lake Tahoe property have been at a steady rise, remaining nearly recession proof even during the last cycle. Yet, it remains moderately undiscovered when compared to the southern areas of Lake Tahoe. With accessibility, a pristine environment and near perfect year round weather, many are choosing North Lake Tahoe as a sound choice in property investment.

Incline Village Information

Named for the Great Incline Tramway built by loggers in 1878, today's Incline Village is where some of the world's wealthiest people have built stunning mountain retreats. But don't dismiss Incline Village as snooty. To the contrary, this eastern North Shore enclave features some of Lake Tahoe's most relaxing beaches and a genteel approach to Lake life. In addition, the gaming (Incline Village is in Nevada) here is uptown, particularly at the Hyatt Regency. Incline is the closest Lake Tahoe town to Reno and the Reno/Tahoe International Airport.

Incline Village Outdoor Activities

For water activities you can choose from Parasailing, jet skis, waverunner, canoes, waterskiing, catamaran tours and fishing charters. Located across the street from the Hyatt in Incline Village.

If you prefer your water frozen, you can enjoy Diamond Peak Ski Area. Known as Tahoe's friendliest mountain, at Diamond Peak, you'll fall in love with our uncrowded mountain.

Panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and Nevada. The real payoff begins as you descend into 1,200 acres of some of the Sierra's best powder. The recent opening of the Chutes puts us in a whole new league. Find out for yourself about Tahoe's best kept secret. Mt. Rose is the closest resort to the Reno/Tahoe International Airport, and just 25 minutes from Reno's 17,000 rooms. Mt. Rose is the perfect choice for the first and last day of your Lake Tahoe vacation.

Golfing may be your sport of choice and Incline Village boasts some of the most beautiful courses in the world! The Incline Village Championship Golf Course has been described by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. as, "the ideal mountain layout with a challenge you won't want to miss and views you will never forget". Completely renovated in 2003/2004, the Championship Course offers tightly cut fairways bordered by towering pines, demanding accuracy as well as distance. Golfers are faced with bunkered greens and lateral water hazards on almost every hole, challenging, to say the least. Considered by many to be one the top golf courses in the West, the Championship Course has everything you would expect from this Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Masterpiece. Then there's the local's favorite, the Incline Village Mountain Course. Visit the Mountain Course and discover the best kept secret of Lake Tahoe golf. It's a challenge you won't want to miss, with views of Lake Tahoe that you will never forget. With spectacular green sites and contours, the Mountain Course demands more accuracy than distance.

If you have an affinity for the arts, check out the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. Lake Tahoe's Premier Summer Event. And you thought the views of the lake were dramatic... For more than 35 years, people have relaxed on Lake Tahoe’s pristine beaches with wine and cheese,and enjoyed the Bard at his best. This year, it promises to be better than ever, with productions of the tragic Romeo and Juliet , balanced nicely with The Taming of the Shrew . And like last year, we’re throwing in third play on Monday nights, it’s Greater Tuna , a hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, Tuna, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. See the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at the most scenic venue on the planet.

Lake Tahoe may evoke visions of multi-million dollar mansions and certainly has plenty of larger than life estates, but it is also the home to many affordable properties. In addition to condominiums, there are many town home and unique cabin alternatives. All of which remain well priced, affordable and generous in size and amenities.

The North Lake Tahoe Lifestyle

Saying the North Shore of Lake Tahoe is “a skier’s paradise” is truly only part of the story.  “A virtual year-round paradise” would better describe what has become one of the world’s most desirable destinations. 

Just a short drive from the Tahoe Reno International Airport, summer brings white sand beaches with 193 square miles of the deepest, clearest blue waters that rival that of the Caribbean.  The attraction doesn’t end there.  Lake Tahoe’s winters often bring weather in the 40’s and 50’s, plenty of sunshine and 15 ski areas—some of which are world class.  Lake Tahoe has Squaw Valley, Heavenly, Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Mt. Rose.  Could it get any better?

For those seeking an active lifestyle (Are you paying attention Baby Boomers?), it simply doesn’t get any better than Lake Tahoe.  Located on the North East corner of Lake Tahoe is Incline Village where the median age of the residents is slightly higher than other communities.  However, you will be hard pressed to find anyone who isn’t at the top of their game be it golf, skiing, hiking, biking, tennis, snowshoeing and the list goes on.  Check out Incline Village Parks and Recreation District for more information. 

Incline Village is a virtual hub of varied focus groups that among other activities includes skiing all winter, or biking and hiking in the summers.  Incline Village is not only fun it offers individuals and corporations many tax incentives.  Find more details at the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada website.

Weather In Lake Tahoe

Planning any outdoor activities is usually never a problem since there is 93% probability the sun will be shining.

Average daily high temperatures in December, January and February are 40, 37, and 39 degrees respectively. Summer is easily as dry and sunny as anywhere in the arid desert. Daytime highs rarely exceed 80 degrees.

Ease of Access

The Reno/Tahoe International Airport is served by over 240 flights daily and can also accommodate private jets and is a mere 35-mile scenic drive from Lake Tahoe. Private jets may also access Truckee Airport, which is an easy 20-minute drive from Lake Tahoe--door to hangar.
