Tahoe’s Top 5 Waterfront Properties May 2012 Sasha’s Pick

Today there are 48 Lakefront Properties to choose from… I am picking my favorites based on best value and over all long term investment opportunity for a family estate.  Basically anything under $2M is either a tear down or a split lakefront which means you’re not actually on the lake… you are across the street from the lake and have lake access.

There are basically two main categories with Tahoe Lakefront Homes... under $3.5 gets you in, but maybe a fixer upper..

Then there is the Tahoe Lakefront Homes above $3.5M the higher you go obviously the more privacy you have… however you may still not have a pier…

Here are my picks ….  Tahoe Lakefront Homes under $3.5 M.
