Villaggio Unifamiliare Indipendente Inclinato

Above the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, this estate has been a private world for more than six decades. For over forty of those years, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Songwriter Hall of Famer called this nearly 20,000 sqft estate home. The estate is surrounded by 6 acres placed into conservation by the family to preserve the landscape and prevent future development. This protected land secures the setting by preserving the privacy, the views, and the natural surroundings as they exist today. The estate starts with an elegant wrought iron entry gate, the entry door is a hand-carved 10 inch solid wood Ganesha door presides over the stone arch entry. Inside, an indoor koi pond flows at the base of a spiral staircase beneath a hand-painted celestial dome, a home built around an inner life as much as an exterior one. Eight en-suite bedrooms, plus the primary suite. A professional chef’s kitchen, a private cinema, a wine cellar and tasting room, a gym, a boardroom, a cedar sauna and steam room, and multiple gathering spaces across three floors make this one of the most extensively appointed estates on the lake. Secure in its own wing of the estate, the primary suite opens directly to a private lake-view deck with the Sierra Nevada across the water. There is a helipad option on the flat portion of the roof as well as roof access easily accessible. This is an opportunity to own a piece of American music history, set above one of the world’s most celebrated lakes. The land surrounding it has been protected in perpetuity, the privacy absolute. The home stands as a fully contained world, thoughtfully designed and extensively appointed. Every detail reflects the life within it.
