START SMALL. DREAM BIG. Why build everything at once? This approximately .26-acre Truckee homesite offers a thoughtfully designed way to build in phases. Start with a modern one-bedroom residence and oversized garage, each about 676 square feet, creating a comfortable Donner Lake-view base from day one. Then dream bigger. The plans also include a larger residence, allowing the property to evolve over time rather than requiring the entire vision to be built at once. The elevated site captures Donner Lake and mountain views, and the design works with the property’s sloping topography rather than treating it as an afterthought. Better still, much of the time-consuming upfront work has already been done. The plans are approved, giving the next owner a significant head start over buying raw land and beginning the design and approval process from scratch. Start small. Live here. Dream big. Build over time. https://visualize.sierrasothebysrealty.com/vd/240448016
