Home sites at the property offer rare views of Donner Lake, Donner Summit, and the iconic Rainbow Bridge. In addition to the expansive south facing views, the property features pine, cedar and fir forests, seasonal streams, springs and towering granite landscapes.The current owner has invested significant time, energy and dollars to bring the property to its present ready-to-build state.

Directly across the street from the property is the new Donner Summit Canyon Trailhead, which takes you to historic sites and exceptional wildlife habitat.HISTORY: To begin the story...Donner Summit Canyon has served as a critical gateway across the Sierra Nevada for centuries. Native Americans living east and west of the Sierra Nevada used this 7,200 foot Donner Pass as a travel corridor and as a place to meet and trade goods. In 1844, the Stephens Party became the first group of immigrants to find a way over the Sierra Nevada with their oxen and wagons, literally hauling their wagons up the rock faces above Donner Lake. The first known settlement in the Truckee basin, Pollard's Station, grew into a small township surrounding a hotel and stage stop at the west end of Donner Lake (next to this property). The story continues on with the tragic talke of the Donner Party, followed by the Central Pacific Railroad beginning its ascent into the Sierra Foothills.
