Carnelian Bay Real Estate

Carnelian Bay real estate is located on the beautiful North Shore of Lake Tahoe just outside of Tahoe City, California. This mountain community is tucked between the pristine shores of Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe National Forest creating one of the most desirable neighborhoods on the north shore.  The tranquil setting of Carnelian Bay, and proximity to all the best amenities and recreational facilities in Tahoe add to the desire of this popular Lake Tahoe community. Home pricing within the Carnelian Bay community varies from around $450,000 for entry-level cabins and A-Frames to $10M+ for luxury Tahoe lakefront estates.  With an average price of around $720,000, this neighborhood represents a great value as you can find good quality homes with forested settings that are close to numerous recreation opportunities.

Carnelian Bay is known for its amazing access to recreation. There are mountain biking and hiking trails including the Tahoe Rim Trail within minutes of every home.  This section of the lake is a favorite for second homeowners, full-time residents, and tourists. During the winter months, Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, Northstar and Homewood ski resorts are just a short drive away.   In the summer months, residents spend time on Lake Tahoe boating, paddleboarding, or just spending a day at the beach. With the Sierra Boat Company Marina located within the neighborhood, boating is easily accessible.  Watermans Landing at Patton Beach (dog beach) is a great place to launch kayaks, paddleboards and grab a cup of coffee or lunch.
