2024 Summer Edition of the Top 10 Waterfront Properties in Tahoe!
The California and Nevada waterfront markets are especially exciting this year! In California, we are seeing more grand estates at lower prices than in years past. In Nevada, some waterfront properties have sparked my passion even further, bringing exciting new stories and vibrancy to our community.
California Lakefronts
The old saying goes, “The West shore is the best shore.” This year’s inventory is a testament to the grand estates and families that have created that belief. Unlike Nevada, the California side offers the convenience of being near Tahoe City, with a bespoke lifestyle that includes world-class skiing at Palisades Tahoe nearby. Here are my top ten favorites in California and Nevada from this year’s inventory.
$18,450,000
2750 W Lake Blvd, Homewood, CA 96141
#1 This is a must see…. One of Tahoe’s most prime locations on the West Shore, on the cusp of Hurricane Bay, offering a deep water pier, a level lot, and absolutely stunning design. This Nantucket beach-style home boasts Clare Walton styling, spacious living and bedrooms, spectacular views, a level lot and enough space to curate a family legacy for the generations to come.
$29,500,000
2020 W Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA 96145
#2 If you have been looking for an estate on Billionaire’s Row on the West Shore, this is it. Reduced by $9 million from 2021, this spectacular estate offers deep water, a spectacular pier, and 12,000+ square feet of living space spread out between three separate homes. Level, luxurious indoor lap pool and lakeside granite hot tub, and is perfectly positioned and ready for your unique entourage of family and friends.
720 West Lake Blvd, Tahoe City, CA 96145
#3 Recently remodeled and being released this week. 2.6 acres of pure bliss in the heart of Tahoe City, just minutes from all the shops and restaurants. This grand estate includes three separate structures: a remodeled main house, a guest house, and a garage that would make any car fanatic jealous. This property has been reduced by over $2 million from 2023 pricing and offers spectacular water amenities, including a swimming pool and cabana with a beautiful pier with boatlift and two buoys. This property will be hitting the market this weekend.
$16,950,000
3795 Belleview Ave, Homewood, CA 96141
#4 I cannot believe this estate has not sold yet! Located just north of the Fleur du Lac parcel on the West Shore’s sleepiest street named Bellevue, this home offers a level lot, a shared pier with a boat lift, and two buoys. Built by the iconic builder Tanner Construction, this is a quality home. Rest assured, if you want some extra space, the lot offers an additional 1,000 square feet of coverage to add a 3-car detached garage and carriage house. This is a wonderful offering and was recently reduced by $2 million! Don’t wait… get in to see this one before it goes.
$11,900,000
656 Olympic Dr, Tahoe City, CA 96145
#5 Wow! Great things come in efficient packages. Sitting on a 1/3 of an acre lot, this home combines space for a larger family and lots of friends in a gorgeous small estate setting, complete with a pier and two buoys. Tastefully remodeled and properly oriented to accommodate your best life easily and efficiently, this home is located on the iconic Olympic Drive in the heart of Tahoe City. You are within walking distance to everything great about Tahoe City. Despite the shallow water, this property is truly a gem and one of the best values on the entire 72 miles of Lake Tahoe shoreline.
Nevada Lakefronts
$19,650,000
187 Yellow Jacket Rd, Glenbrook, NV 89413
#6 I am a bit biased on this one, as it is one of our spectacular listings. This property is located in one of Lake Tahoe’s oldest and gated communities. Rich in history, with stories from the founding days of Lake Tahoe, this home sits on a 1.2-acre lot. Positioned with 9,000 square feet of buildable coverage and an additional 3,000 square feet for future structures, this home offers all the amenities of Glenbrook, including a public pier, half a mile of sandy beach shoreline, golf, tennis, and a country club. It is a wonderful place to start your Lake Tahoe legacy in a neighborhood that The Wall Street Journal calls America’s most expensive zip code. A pier is scheduled to be installed this summer, complete with a 12,000 lb boat lift and buoy.
$50,000,000
859 Lakeshore Blvd, Incline Village, NV 89451 (PENDING)
#7 Located on Billionaire’s Row in the heart of Incline Village, this estate was on the market for only three days before going into escrow. Owned by renowned billionaire investor Jeff Berns of Nevada’s Blockchains, this one-of-a-kind estate spans 1.4 acres and features 11,500 square feet of living space, spectacular water amenities, and an absolutely stunning home. It is truly remarkable to see such an extraordinary property move into escrow so quickly.
$17,988,000
1050 Skyland Dr, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448
#8 The East Shore’s newest and best value. Built three years ago, this home is located in the iconic neighborhood of Skyland in Zephyr Cove. This mini estate offers wonderful lake views, a shared pier, and a lifestyle that is convenient, spacious, and well-equipped for the adventurous spirit that awaits you so close to South Lake Tahoe. With a shared pier, a boatlift, and spectacular views of Desolation Wilderness from your living room, this property stands out from many of the other offerings on the lake.
$68,900,000
1041 Lakeshore Blvd, Incline Village, NV 89451
#9 Lake Tahoe’s most expensive offering, the Wynn estate, is being presented for the first time in over 30 years. Located two parcels from tech superstar Larry Ellison’s $200 million estate, this property spans a sprawling 5 acres and is spectacularly positioned on the best available lot in Lake Tahoe. With fantastic water amenities, over 200 feet of shoreline, deep water, a pier with boat and jet ski lifts, and two additional buoys, it is a blank canvas for anyone seeking a corporate retreat and estate for their billion-dollar business relocating to the tax-friendly state of Nevada.
$10,498,000
654 Lake Shore Blvd, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448
Located on the point in Marla Bay, this quaint little cabin offers purchasers the opportunity to embody a simple life on the lake with the convenience of South Lake Tahoe just minutes away.
