Rendezvous | A 1970s Alpine Sanctuary In Ward Valley

Tucked into the coveted Alpine Peaks neighborhood of Ward Valley, Rendezvous is a design-forward vintage ski cabin with an authentic 1970s alpine-lounge aesthetic. A copper slate entry beneath a dramatic skylight introduces the home’s rich material palette, where vintage redwood paneling, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and expansive glazing create a warm, intentional, unmistakably alpine atmosphere.

The multilevel design unfolds gradually from the ground-floor entry to the central living area and the elevated dining and kitchen level. At its heart is a classic conversation pit centered around a wood-burning fireplace. Custom seating upholstered in rich burnt orange, complete with custom down-filled back pillows, coordinates with the vintage-inspired carpeting and reinforces the home’s distinctive retro character. It is an inviting setting for quiet mornings, lively gatherings, and firelit evenings after a day in the mountains.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1,172 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with substantial updates that enhance comfort without compromising its architectural identity. Warm mahogany cabinetry and golden-yellow travertine slab countertops define the kitchen, which features a Wolf induction range and oven, Zephyr vent hood, Asko dishwasher, and Fisher & Paykel refrigeration. Travertine slab surfaces continue into both updated bathrooms, creating a cohesive material connection throughout the home.

Three bedrooms are distributed across the home’s ground and upper levels, while a private sauna offers a welcome place to recover after skiing, hiking, or mountain biking. Multi-zone in-floor radiant heating with individual room controls provides efficient, customizable warmth throughout Tahoe’s colder months.

Two redesigned decks extend the living space outdoors. The front deck creates an elevated perch overlooking the surrounding forest, with sweeping views toward the Sierra Crest and a peaceful connection to the mountain landscape.

Bordered on three sides by California Tahoe Conservancy land, the property enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy and immersion in nature. Hiking and mountain biking opportunities, including access to the Tahoe Rim Trail, begin within the neighborhood, while Lake Tahoe, Tahoe City shopping, local markets, and dining are a short drive away.

Alpine Peaks HOA amenities include private tennis courts and neighborhood parking near the Sherwood Chairlift on the Alpine Meadows side of Palisades Tahoe, providing excellent recreational access when the lift and terrain are open.

From first tracks at Sherwood and summer days on nearby trails to afternoons in the sauna and late nights gathered around the fireplace, 4076 Courchevel pairs preserved vintage design with modern comfort in one of Tahoe’s most recreation-rich settings.
