Rubicon is one of the most treasured areas in Lake Tahoe. It blends the feel of the East Shore’s boulder-strewn shoreline with the best of the West Shore – sun, “Old Tahoe” homes, a removed feeling). The beach here has some of the nicest, deepest sand in the Basin. The northern end of Rubicon has a steeper shoreline – smaller lots, higher density – and as you head south the land leans more gently into the beach until becoming level. This is where the fabled “Gold Coast” of Tahoe starts. Wide lakefront parcels, level lots, meandering drives and meadows. All this is situated below the towering Rubicon, Maggies and Jake’s Peaks. From the road, you know you’re near the Gold Coast when you see trees with old firehose nailed around them. These are the discrete “Ring Roads” and there are four of them which lead back to some of the most impressive properties in all of Tahoe.
Rubicon has a great homeowners’ association which has private paths leading to golden sand, two piers and immense buoy fields available for homeowners with boats. There are all types of single-family homes in this subdivision from Old Tahoe to brand new construction. Up above the HOA subdivision and on the non-lake side of West Lake Blvd are homes without membership but many have spectacular views.
