10008 High St

A rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Truckee history. This exceptional lot occupies the former site of a historic residence dating back to the 1870s, located in the heart of downtown Truckee’s highly sought-after Brickelltown Historic District. Enjoy the convenience of being just steps from downtown shops, restaurants, public transportation, and the Trout Creek Trailhead, offering seamless access from the historic urban core to a scenic trail winding through wooded areas and lush meadows along Trout Creek. The trail is plowed in winter, providing year-round enjoyment. The property offers sweeping views of the Mt. Rose section of the Carson Range, historic downtown Truckee, and potential views of the Sierra Crest. A comprehensive historical study underscores the site’s rich past, including original newspapers discovered within the walls of the former home dated May 1, 1872. Adding significant value, the lot includes a full set of thoughtfully designed plans for a 1,565 sq ft residence which could be altered to suit a buyers needs. Plans were previously approved by the Historic Preservation Advisory Commission (HPAC). With a topographic site plan, existing utility connections, and approximately $35,000 credit towards building fees and utility connections, many upfront costs have already been addressed, providing a substantial head start and meaningful savings in the building process.
