3090 River Road - "The Year-Round Playground" Stretching across 84.5 acres bordering the Tahoe National Forest and the Truckee River, 3090 River Road is a historic riverfront estate of extraordinary scale - three legal parcels, three existing structures, and approximately 425 linear feet of Truckee River frontage, all positioned on the quiet, forest side of Olympic Valley, sheltered from highway noise and traffic. The last time this estate changed hands was over 110 years ago, in 1916. 84.5 acres across three separate legal parcels represents a land position that simply cannot be assembled in this location today. Parcel 1: 3.9 acres. Parcel 2: 72.7 acres. Parcel 3: 7.9 acres. The back border of this property stretches 3/4 of a mile. The configuration, the frontage, the utilities, and the location create a canvas of remarkable versatility for the visionary buyer: a private legacy compound, a generational family retreat, or a thoughtfully developed luxury project. Three structures - approximately 4,334 total square feet - sit ready for occupancy, renovation, or reimagining. The main residence spans approximately 2,773 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, featuring classic Tahoe craftsmanship and a stone chimney. An 887-square-foot guest cottage and a 674-square-foot caretaker's cottage round out the compound, with existing tenancy in place and flexibility for guests, staff, or extended family use. Few properties in the region can match this one for year-round access to the Tahoe lifestyle. In summer, fish or float the Truckee River right out your back door. In winter, snowshoe or snowmobile from your front door, or be on the slopes at Palisades Tahoe in under 5 minutes. Bike to the lake across the river, or access a huge network of mountain bike trails from your property. Spring wildflower blooms unfold across your own acreage. World-class golf and the beaches of Lake Tahoe are minutes away. Less than 5 minutes to Palisades Tahoe - home to North America's premier ski terrain. Less than 10 minutes to Tahoe City and the North Shore. Less than 15 minutes to downtown Truckee. Less than 45 minutes to Reno-Tahoe International Airport. The estate is positioned at the center of everything the Tahoe/Truckee region offers while remaining entirely removed from the crowds that chase it. Perhaps the most underappreciated attribute of this estate is what runs beneath it. The property is connected to the local PUD sewer and water system - an exceptionally rare distinction for any Truckee River property, especially on this side of the river. Add electric service, high-speed internet, propane, and a natural spring on the property, and you have infrastructure that most large acreage parcels in this region simply cannot match. The hard work has already been done. Opportunities of this scale, in this location, do not wait. Qualified buyers are invited to reach out directly for a private tour and full disclosure package.
