ABOUT THE AREA:
Located on the West Shore, halfway between Homewood and Tahoe City, lies a little-known area of the West Shore, the Alpine Peak and Ward Canyon subdivision. Located about 5 miles from the lake in Blackwood Canyon, homes in this area offers seclusion, homeowners tennis courts, and easy access to the back of Alpine Meadows ski area. Somewhat isolated and secluded, this area is great for the wilderness enthusiast, mountain adventurer or someone truly looking to just escape from it all.
In the summer, you’ll find Sunnyside Resort and Marina and William Kent Shoreline are about a 5-mile drive away. William Kent Beach is situated in a wooded setting and offers picnic tables and grills with views across Lake Tahoe of the eastern shoreline. Next door, Sunnyside Resort is a favorite year-round lakeside dining option. However, guests won't need to venture far to enjoy the outdoors as great trails for hiking and mountain biking may be found just outside your door!
The location is unlike any other in Tahoe. Minutes from the Tahoe Rim Trail and just a 10-minute walk from some of the best hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing in the area, including Paige Meadows and Twin Peaks. You also have easy access to Ward Creek for fishing and the Sherwood Chairlift on the backside of Alpine Meadows. Â
