Crystal Bay | Lakefront 444 Gonowabie Road, Crystal Bay, NV

Sold on 8.6.14. With massive rounded granite boulders, deep-water, and a wind-protected cove, Crystal Bay, NV is a place where many of Tahoe’s most exquisite homes reside.  Expansive vistas of Incline Village’s shoreline, Diamond Peak Ski Area, and the pristine eastern shore make for one of the most desirable perspectives Lake Tahoe affords. It is no wonder that Crystal Bay has entranced the rich and famous for more than a century. Over the years, Crystal Bay has hosted stars such as Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, the Kennedys, Frank Sinatra and other members of the Rat Pack. In more recent years, Crystal Bay has retreated from its high-profile past into a more understated celebration of its natural beauty. Current residents are blessed with a quiet sanctuary of unique landscape, premier boating water, and spectacular vistas.

The residence at 444 Gonwabie harmoniously captures the spirit of Crystal Bay. Particular attention was paid to all the details so often overlooked.  The home is perfectly oriented to maximize the view. The dramatic, old-growth pine trees are artistically framed in the home’s windows.  The stone flooring seamlessly flows from nature to within. The terraced yard has various private outdoor living areas, allowing for reflection of the natural surroundings. The boat and toy room houses all the toys a Tahoe resident will collect – golf clubs, ski and snowboard gear, winter boots, mountain bikes, etc. The deck is equipped with resort-quality swivel umbrellas and push-of-a-button heaters for those fresh evenings.

This residence is ideally matched with its surroundings and is a perfect complement to the active and casual Tahoe lifestyle.  The home will stand up to the most discriminating and cultured tastes, though will endure the active lifestyle of all generations of family members. This unique offering includes nearly all of the upscale furniture and personal property contents, making for a turn-key opportunity. Please call for more information and to schedule your private showing. Pre-qualification of all prospective buyers is required and strictly enforced.
