About this property

Luxury Villa, Panoramic Lake Views, Pier, Concierge, Ski

Welcome to Elevation Estate

Awarded Tahoe Quarterly's prestigious Outstanding Mountain Home of the Year in 2015, the estate is an architectural and design marvel. This truly, one-of-a-kind, 5,800 square foot home was constructed on a hillside spanning 200 feet in elevation (hence the name).

This home offers 270-degree unobstructed panoramic views of Lake Tahoe from up to 70 feet above the water’s edge. Comprising a main house, guest house and studio apartment, this home captures all of Tahoe's natural beauty. The home is thoughtfully sectioned to comfortably accommodate multiple families/generations.

Key Features of the property include:

Lakefront estate with panoramic lake views
Award-winning design
High-end furnishings
4,300 Square foot main house
1000 Square foot guest house
500 Square foot studio apartment
7 Bedrooms, 6 1/2 baths (detailed below)

Split lakefront with a private, shared deep water pier with buoy available upon request

Concierge and pier:

Luxury accommodation includes 24/7 concierge to recommend and/or help coordinate transportation, summer activities - boats & watersports, hiking, climbing, biking, tours and winter activities - skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sledding. Also fitness accommodations, massage, groceries/wine/alcohol, dinner reservations and much more.

The house sits on Agate Bay, one of the calmest bays on Lake Tahoe. Ideal for boating and watersports. Enjoy a private, locked, boat-accessible pier, shared with adjacent neighbor. Buoy available upon request.

Architecture and floorplan:

To achieve 270-degree views of the lake, a collection of towers raises locally sourced glacier stone, slate, steel, glass and redwood above the landscape.

A partially covered bridge, shored up with steel and paved with wood decking, connects the garage to the main house. The dining wing, which includes an outdoor dining deck, occupies the southwest corner of the house. Another outdoor space adjacent to the dining room is known as the cocktail deck, an ideal location for a sunset toast.

Stunning House with Amazing Views
We had a great quick trip to North Lake Tahoe. The house is incredible and the views can't be beat. It's like staying in an art museum. The location is ideal - 20 minutes in either direction and you're at Palisades or Northstar (Ikon and Epic passes, respectively). There's great dining both directions too - east to Kings Beach or west to Tahoe City (with Garwoods on the way!). The snow is FAB this year - get out there!

Views and Built for Family
The house and the views are stunning. The host was easy to reach and made sure the stay was seamless. Plenty of room to entertain as one group or split off for a work call during the week. We will be returning soon and hope to stay here again.

Amazing house with even better views!!
We had a perfect stay at Grace’s house - She made sure that our check-in was smooth and that everything went according to plan. The house is immaculate (and huge!)There’s plenty of space for my large family to stay comfortably. The outdoor fireplace / patio was a great spot for early morning coffees and late night wine. The house is well located and close to various restaurants, casinos, and right on the lake. Finishes throughout the house were modern and well done. The property included all cooking materials (including a grill) to host a great dinner. The pier looked newly built- we will need to return in the summer when we can properly utilize it! Would love to stay at this house again!
