I’ll second Minden/Gardnerville.
Many SLTahoe folks moved down there as the lake was too expensive. I have a few friends down there, and they love it!
Re: “I’ll second Minden/Gardnerville.”
I checked that area out a dozen years ago, but in short order so many Kalifornicans (with their zoning crapola) had moved there that it lost its low-cost and unrestricted rural attraction. Just another over-priced suburb of CA now!
