3100 Jameson Beach Road, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150

Welcome to one of the most extraordinary settings in Lake Tahoe. Approached through historic Camp Richardson, this home sits inside the gated Jameson Beach community, a rare enclave that still reflects the timeless character of old Tahoe. While not lakefront, the property commands 1.15 acres adjoining USFS land with direct access into the Pope Marsh and the meadow system that stretches behind the home. Southern exposure provides all-day light, and the panoramic views extend from Mt. Tallac across to Heavenly and Freel Peak. Wildlife sightings are common, and the sense of privacy and nature is unmatched in this price tier. The home blends craftsman character with mountain and coastal influences. Hand-cut cedar shingles, aluminum-clad wood windows, layered rooflines and a signature cupola define the exterior. Utilities include a private well, backup propane generator and efficient in-floor radiant heat supported by a boiler system. Originally a 1920s cabin, the residence was expanded and redesigned in the mid 1990s. Hardwood floors, pickwick pine paneling and wood windows set a warm interior tone. The main level offers a true open living layout. The living room is anchored by a natural-stone gas fireplace with adjacent office and library area that includes built-ins and a window seat. A dining alcove with wraparound windows frames mountain and meadow views and connects to a peninsula bar and kitchen with double ovens, built-in refrigeration and custom pine cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen is a large pantry, laundry room and a cozy family room within the original 1920s footprint, complete with exposed beams and a freestanding wood-burning stove. Two separate staircases lead to the upper level where all bedrooms are located. The primary suite offers vaulted wood ceilings, a comfortable sitting nook with bay windows, French doors intended for a future deck and an airy bath with extensive glass, double vanity, stall shower and a large walk-in closet. Farther down the hall is an impressive flex space with exposed trusses, iron brackets, true dormers and hardwood floors. This area is ideal as a game room, art studio or conversion into additional bedrooms or a large suite. Outdoor living is exceptional. A rear deck off the dining and living rooms is perfect for sunset gatherings. An upper deck connects to a spiral staircase leading to the cupola, the highest point of the home, where sunset colors and surrounding mountain views are spectacular. A short walk brings you to Camp Richardson. The Grove is scheduled for renovation and offers lakeside dining and live music in summer. Vahalla and its historic performance venue are also nearby with concerts, theater and community events.
