Amenities that Come with Buying a Home in Incline Village

Lake Tahoe Cole Mizak July 21, 2022


The marvelous Lake Tahoe is located on the border of central California and Nevada. This gorgeous body of water spans more than 190 square miles and is regarded as the highest and largest alpine lake in the United States, according to Tahoe’s Best. While locals lovingly refer to the lake as just “Tahoe,” visitors from near and far travel here in droves each year to indulge in the plethora of enchanting experiences the area has to offer. Whether you choose to reside in California or Nevada, living near Lake Tahoe is sure to bring a life full of luxury and adventure.
 
In the summer, locals and visitors alike can be seen plunging into the chilly waters to beat the heat or lounging along the shore at any number of the lakeside beaches. In the winter, the snow-covered trees and mountains surrounding the lake give it an almost otherworldly look, reminiscent of children’s novels set in winter wonderlands. The lake glistens with beauty year-round, and locals are incredibly fortunate to call this stunning landscape home.
 
The Lake Tahoe community of Incline Village sits on the northern side of the lake and is home to some of the most coveted real estate in the United States. This prestigious community is full of terrific amenities, great dining options, and stunning vistas. So, are you looking for Incline Village houses for sale and hoping to enjoy some fantastic golfing, skiing, water sports, and more? You’re in luck! Residents of Incline Village enjoy an impressive amount of luxurious features and advantages.

Tax benefits to living in Nevada

If you’re tax-conscious, there are some advantages to living in Nevada as opposed to California, especially if you’re hoping to purchase one of these fantastic properties. For luxury buyers, tax benefits are a great reason to choose the Nevada side of the lake.
 
Nevada is devoid of state tax for income, estate and inheritance, retiree pension, corporate income, issuance of corporate shares, and sale or transfer of shares. Additionally, the state has much lower property and sales taxes than its counterpart in the west. If you’re looking to stretch your dollar and keep a little more for yourself in the process, the tax benefits to living in Nevada are considerable.

Private beach access


Locals enjoy using many private beaches as residents of the Incline Village General Improvement District, or IVGID. With kayak and paddleboard rentals, boat launches, picnic and barbecue areas, bocce ball and volleyball courts, snack bars, green space, walking trails, and even water slides — not to mention the gorgeously sandy coast — you won’t want to miss these beaches for your days in the sun. In addition, both beaches have playgrounds for children of all ages to enjoy. You’ll be able to escape the crowded coastlines in the summer months for beaches that are a bit more relaxing and conveniently located close to home.

Recreation center access

Incline Village General Improvement District residents also benefit from access to a state-of-the-art recreation facility. This incredible community center includes basketball courts, a cafe, a pro-shop, tennis courts, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. If you’re looking for winter activities in Tahoe, you’re all set as a resident of Incline Village.

Golf courses

Residents of Incline Village love a good game of golf, so it’s only fitting that there are golf courses for IVGID residents. Both Incline Village golf courses boast the best of the best in terms of gorgeous design, structure, and the occasional challenge.
 
The Incline Village Championship Golf Course boasts an 18-hole course with a par of 72. This course has several accolades, including the title of the 17th Best Course In the U.S. The other golf course in the area, Incline Village Mountain Golf Course, stays true to its name by offering sweeping lake vistas dotted with mountains and gorgeous pine trees. This is an 18-hole, par-58 course, so it’s a great option if you want to squeeze in a game of golf before meeting your family for an afternoon at the lake.

Skiing and snowboarding

Are you scouring the Incline Village lakefront homes for sale in hopes of finding the perfect winter vacation escape? If you love enjoying a day on the slopes with your family, you’re in the right place with Lake Tahoe, as the skiing and snowboarding options nearby are endless. Pop over to Diamond Peak Ski Resort first thing in the morning, and you’ll still have time to make it to that afternoon meeting. If you’re looking to go a little further from home, there are a number of ski resorts on Mt. Rose, many of which are just a 15 to 40-minute drive away.

Excellent dining and shopping


Incline Village is also home to some genuinely marvelous restaurants. For some phenomenal sunset views as you dine, check out Lone Eagle Grille overlooking the water and take in the beauty of your surroundings. Head over to FUMO Eatery and Bar, Bite, or Austin’s Restaurant and Bar if you’re looking for some traditional American dishes, while Le Bistro offers fantastic French cuisine. When you’re done, check out the sporting goods stores for all your favorite outdoor adventures, whether you need boating, biking, snowboarding, or hiking gear (or even gear for your dog).
 
Overall, there is no shortage of activities to enjoy in Lake Tahoe. This is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, from mountain biking, hiking, and golfing in the summer to skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing in the winter. If you want to stay active year-round while enjoying the breathtaking lake views, you’re in the right place, especially if you love amenities.
