Two grand master suites offer a retreat to your personal oasis with spa-like bath amenities including two 270-degree lakeview bathtubs, a steam shower, and chic Watermark Masters plumbing fixtures.

Serenity and Inspiration

Inspired by the original floor plan, the Old Tahoe style reflects the history of the estate while the natural palette and unique finishes add a contemporary, softer composition creating a serene setting. Custom seamless ironwork is balanced by wood and natural pebble, creating timeless harmony. The founding concept of the build was to bring the outside in, with Lake Tahoe as the centerpiece, while maintaining the historical grand feel without sacrificing the comforts of a cozy indoor setting.  

No Detail Overlooked

From the bookmatched quartz slabs that wall the 125-bottle conditioned wine cabinet to the intricate seamless ironwork to the commissioned lighting and artist-built stove hood, the fine details of this home set it far apart from other builds. A discerning eye will immediately recognize the sophisticated and precise selections.

As functional as it is stylish, convenience is highlighted. Smart home technology allows for simple opening and closing of the home. Two laundry rooms total three sets of washers & dryers. Built-in storage provides abundant space.

History

Steeped in history, authentic style, and sheer beauty, Tahoe's West Shore emanates classic Tahoe. Graced with spectacular lakefront estates, cozy cabins and elegant historic homesteads, the West Shore hosts the Ehrman Mansion, Vikingsholm Castle, and three state parks. Adjacent to McKinney Lodge is the Fleur du Lac property, famed for being the filming location of The Godfather II. Old photos even place Al Pacino standing nearby this very pier.
