ST JAMES WOODS :

CLICK HERE FOR CURRENT LOT PRICES: Updated Feb 2008

St. James is located in the Galena forest, just above the Montreaux golf course. This area is being called "the Pebble Beach / Monterey of the Lake Tahoe region".

The neighborhood has some quailties not found elsewhere in the world. The area was designed with a higher ratio of open space per built lots which creates an atmosphere of natural undisturbed beauty. While at the same time residents enjoy luxuries such as guarded secure gates, paved and plowed streets, sidewalks, jogging paths, sitting areas, and natural paths.

There is a gorgeous year round creek running through the development that is surrounded by walking paths and open space. And, St James' even has it's own fire station!

Because St James' has adopted such strict restrictions on building to protect the natural surroundings many people have found planning and building homes almost impossible in the neighborhood. It is common to hear about people buying their dream property and then giving up on building their homes becuase they could not pass the ALC committee... This works to all the owners benefits... by not only protecting the beauty of the area these guide lines insure a quality of living beyond anywhere else we've seen!

WE HAVE HOME PLANS 90% COMPLETE THROUGH THE ALC REVIEW PROCESS!!! All major concerns have been dealt with, grading, position of the home, height/view protection, style, elevations, garage access... etc, etc, etc ETC!!!!!

This alone will save you years of frustration.... The new owners of this property will simply hire a finishing Architect to do the final revisions, handle some very very minor changes needed (as deemed by the last meeting with the ALC) and do the final engineering...

There is still opportunity for the new owners to change the home structure and features to their liking. or even start fresh with their own home plans. The new owners of this lot could begin building within a couple months! Our Architects dealt with the major issues regarding building on this lot...

Why are we selling? We have 3 years invested into this property... We have gone through many difficult situations and cannot wait any longer to move into a home. WE LOVE THIS PROPERTY, but the time has come for us to move on. The new owners of this lot will benefit greatly from the hundreds of hours spent planning the construction of a home. If we had known back then how difficult it was to build in St Jame's we would have bought a lot that had pending home plans LIKE OUR DOES NOW!
