PRICE REDUCED BY $4,000,000. Welcome to Shangri-La, an enchanting retreat on Tahoe City’s West Shore. This unique lakefront property boasts unmatched luxury harmonized with the classic Old Tahoe aesthetic, paying homage to the area’s history, while also providing modern comforts suitable for year-round leisure. The estate is imbued with a cozy vibe that encourages relaxation and enjoyment of life at Tahoe’s pace. Enter through the gated driveway, surrounded by beautiful landscaping featuring rare plant species meticulously chosen to blend with Tahoe’s natural beauty. The driveway itself is crafted from 3-inch thick granite from India, individually textured and installed by hand, creating an unforgettable first impression of the estate.
Cross the courtyard, stepping on hand-carved insulated stones, to arrive at the main house with 7 bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms, where you are welcomed by elegance and majesty. The design, inspired by the renowned Pope Estate, gives a nod to Lake Tahoe’s heritage, echoing the grandeur of historic west shore homes. Custom details and premium materials curated by celebrated L.A. designer Gary Gibson Interior Design display an exquisite blend of history and sophistication, from rich Mahogany walls to historical artifacts, ensuring a regal yet comfortable ambiance for all to enjoy.
The estate promotes a lifestyle geared towards healthy living. An exquisite, in-ground lakefront spa, surrounded by natural boulders and stunning landscaping, invites immediate relaxation. The spa, along with a 22-meter indoor swimming pool, utilizes an advanced UV and commercial-grade ozone system, eliminating the need for chemicals (unlike a typical “salt water” system). The entire residence is supported by a water filtration network. Every design aspect is thoughtful, including a sauna next to the pool and an outdoor garden shower discreetly located behind the spa.
Outdoor features include a private deep-water pier, two designated buoys, and 130 feet of pristine lake frontage. Enjoying Lake Tahoe is just at your fingertips. The yard serves as a true family recreation area, converting easily into a regulation-size volleyball and badminton court. A nature trail winds through the grounds, offering an exciting croquet course. An in-ground bocce court is discreetly nestled among the lush trees, complemented by a horseshoe pit. Meanwhile, the courtyard, shielded from wind, is an excellent location for a basketball hoop. This estate has a long-standing tradition of hosting annual family Olympics.
The layout is perfectly crafted for entertaining, ensuring ample space for gatherings by the lake. A guest suite in the west wing of the main house features a full kitchen, creating an ideal retreat. There is also an additional guest house with 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, reminiscent of classic Tahoe cabins. Guests can find privacy and warmth by the riverstone fireplace as the night sets in. Everything from the French farmhouse kitchen to the spacious primary suite, executive office, formal dining room, and countless intricate details throughout the estate embody the rich history of Lake Tahoe’s mountainous terrain. This luxurious yet inviting property truly embraces a serene mountain lifestyle.
