The Area
Black Bart is a small area and has less than 200 homes that are nestled along the Trout Creek Meadow. On average, these homes feature three bedrooms, two baths and 1,220 square feet of living space. However throughout the years, many larger and newer homes have been constructed to take advantage of the stunning mountain and meadow views this area has to offer. Many of the lots within Black Bart are also bigger than the average lots found throughout South Lake Tahoe, providing that extra privacy Tahoe is known to have.
The beauty of the area is enhanced by the Trout Creek meadows which contain what used to be Lake Christopher. The lake was recently reformed to follow the creek's original path. These meadows are vital to Lake Tahoe’s clarity as they are major tributaries to the lake. They are filled with wildlife such as coyote families, raccoon's, bears, trout, birds and wildflowers. Taking a tranquil walk here will remind you of why you choose to be in Lake Tahoe.
