Offered with a conservation outcome: proceeds from this sale are to be donated to the Truckee Donner Land Trust. A distinctive mountain setting defines the scene for this approximately 0.26-acre parcel in Prosser Lakeview Estates. The steep terrain offers a dramatic backdrop for exploring a thoughtfully designed mountain retreat, subject to site feasibility and approvals. A conceptual design by Kenzie Tillitt of Tenzie Architecture is avilable for inspiration; it is not an approved building plan or assurance of buildability. The homesite offers wooded views and the opportunity to explore a design responsive to its mountain setting, though its steep terrain presents development considerations, and an engineered septic system is required. Buyers should independently investigate soils, wastewater disposal, utilities, access, easements, setbacks, fire requirements, septic feasibility, engineering requirements and all development approvals. Approximately 11,325 square feet per public-record information; buyer to verify size and boundaries. The conceptual design is illustrative and does not constitute an approved building plan or confirmation of development feasibility."
