Forest Service acquires Tahoe Mountain Parcels
Submitted by paula on Wed, 09/10/2014 - 10:12pm
Two more vacant lots in South Lake Tahoe have been added to the increasing cache of land the U.S. Forest Service has accumulated to preserve for public use.
These two lots are 3.13 acres each and located on Tahoe Mountain. They purchased one with great lake views for $135,000 and a second one for $100,000. This second lot is adjacent to the new hiking and mountain biking trail that begins on Deveron Way.
In 2012 the Forest Service made two other purchases in the same area will help restore and maintain a healthy watershed for Lake Tahoe, prevent conversion of forest to residential estate homes, and secure public access and open space, providing additional recreation opportunities in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
The Santini-Burton Act authorizes the Forest Service to acquire sensitive lands in the Lake Tahoe Basin through purchase and donation. Receipts from the sale of surplus federal lands in the Las Vegas area under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act funded the purchases.
