Every year, Chase International invites high-end clients to tour the greatest of the great in lakefront Tahoe property. Around the lake, 23 properties were open for viewing, but one stood out from the rest. The Sierra Star, a compound with 4 homes, an underground garage and an asking price of 45-million dollars.
Tahoe’s lakefront homes come with an array of unique amenities and features – distinctive architecture, aquamarine crystal waters, private shoreline enclaves, and on occasion, a 30-car collector’s garage. At least that’s one of the many perks to Incline Village’s Sierra Star estate.
Located on Lakeshore Drive, the 4.3-acre property was accumulated through land acquisitions over several years by Gonzales who began purchasing the property lot by lot in August 1999. He took down five homes in the process, left three standing, and then added the Carriage House, a 12,000-square-foot collector’s garage with 2,500 square feet of living space above. Interested buyers can purchase the entire estate, which comes with four homes and 330 feet of shoreline, two private piers, two buoys, or buy any combination of the five parcels, including one lakefront vacant lot with private pier.
Gonzales worked closely with Gary Pulver, owner of Incline Village’s Pulver Construction, in the design and construction of the prized Carriage House. The 30-car garage sits just inside the main gate of 1131 Lakeshore Drive, and was built specifically for his extensive collection of rare cars and motorcycles.
Summertide
Amazing and historical, the old Howard Huges estate has over 500’ of Lake Tahoe frontage, and over 5.5 acres. A true legacy and rare offering, now called summer tide.
Similar to the great camps of the Adirondacks the main home, an authentic log cabin likely built from timber on the land is nestled in forest of 100 year old trees. Eight furniture makers from the Adirondacks designed and custom made furniture and fixtures in the 1920s rustic style. A meadow surrounded by gardens was added to create recreation and entertainment spaces for as many as 250 people for lunch or dinner and even more for a reception.
