About this property
Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a treasured piece of Donner Lake history. Lovingly built by the original family in **1923** and cherished for more than a century, this remarkable mountain cabin has remained in the same family for generations. Rich with character, tradition, and timeless charm, this is more than a home-it's a legacy waiting for its next chapter. Inside, you'll discover the authentic warmth of a classic Sierra retreat, where rustic details and original craftsmanship have been preserved through the years. The iconic original wood-burning stove serves as both a stunning centerpiece and the home's hot water source, adding to the cabin's unique historical appeal. Offering a flexible **2-3 bedroom floor plan** and **2 bathrooms**, there's plenty of room for family gatherings, weekend getaways, or creating your own lifelong traditions. Located within the highly coveted **Donner Tract Improvement Association**, ownership includes exclusive access to approximately **700 feet of private Donner Lake shoreline**, complete with **two private docks and a floating dock**. Spend your days swimming, boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing while taking in the breathtaking Sierra scenery. Opportunities to enjoy this level of private lake access are exceptionally rare. Perfectly positioned just minutes from **Historic Downtown Truckee**, you'll enjoy boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, art galleries, breweries, and year-round community events while still experiencing the peaceful setting of one of Donner Lake's most beloved neighborhoods. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to endless recreation including **Donner Memorial State Park**, the **Donner Lake Rim Trail**, scenic hiking and biking trails, world-class fishing, boating, and spectacular mountain adventures. During the winter months, premier ski resorts including **Sugar Bowl**, **Palisades Tahoe**, and **Northstar California** are all within a short drive, making this an ideal four-season mountain retreat. Whether you're gathering around the fire after a day on the slopes, enjoying summer sunsets from the private beach, or continuing traditions that have been built here for over 100 years, **10061 Blue Jay Lane** offers a lifestyle few properties can match. Homes with this level of history, character, private lake access, and generational significance rarely become available. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to become the next steward of one of Donner Lake's most cherished family cabins and begin writing your own story for generations to come.
