TAHOE LIFESTYLE~~This is not simply a Tahoe home—it is a private retreat where architecture, art and the forest become one. Set on approximately .40 acres at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and bordering permanent open space, this distinctive four-story residence rises among towering pines, natural granite and a remarkable sculpture garden featuring monumental works by world-renowned artist Yuyu Yang—all included in the sale. Inside, 3,806 square feet unfold with warmth, character and wonderful flexibility. The front entrance opens into a dramatic main living room defined by a soaring wood-beamed ceiling, substantial stone fireplace, gallery-worthy walls and broad windows framing the surrounding forest. A second fireside living area offers another inviting place to gather, while the formal dining room, breakfast nook and wet bar make the home equally suited to intimate evenings and memorable entertaining. Designed for people who truly enjoy cooking—and for guests who inevitably gather nearby—the distinctive kitchen features a professional-style gas range, double ovens, abundant cabinetry, generous butcher-block work surfaces, a long central island and skylights that bring natural light into the heart of the home. A large walk-in pantry provides exceptional storage. The spacious primary suite is a peaceful retreat of its own, with a comfortable sitting area and direct access to a deep covered deck suspended among the pines. A private, window-wrapped indoor spa room—with the hot tub included—adds an unexpected resort-like pleasure. Three additional bedrooms provide welcoming accommodations for family and guests, while a dedicated office and flexible walk-out lower level offer excellent possibilities for working from home, extended stays or multigenerational living. Exceptional supporting spaces distinguish this home from the ordinary: a true walk-in wine cellar ready for a serious collection; a full bath and private sauna; an expansive laundry and utility room with cabinetry, sink and workspace; and a finished two-car garage with extensive storage, workbench and additional refrigerator. Multiple decks and covered outdoor spaces extend the living experience into the forest, overlooking mature landscaping, dramatic granite formations and monumental sculpture. As evening falls, the residence transforms—its many windows glowing through the pines while polished sculpture reflects the changing Tahoe sky. Private, artistic and wonderfully unconventional, this is a home for those seeking more than square footage. The monumental sculptures, hot tub and most furnishings are included, offering the rare opportunity to acquire not merely a residence, but an established and beautifully composed Tahoe lifestyle.

Some mornings on the East Shore start with coffee on a cabin deck, a walk down a private path to the private beach, and the lake already in reach. That is the life this Glenbrook property delivers today, while a brand-new 5,871 square foot home by Kelly & Stone is already two years into design and permitting. This is a classic East Shore cabin on a rare 0.78-acre lakefront parcel in a quiet, no-HOA pocket of Glenbrook, one of Nevada's most coveted, tax-friendly zip codes. The existing 1950s cabin is modest. The setting is not. Direct lake access and a private path to the large sandy private beach, an existing buoy in the water, and a property already deep into the process of becoming a custom lakefront home designed by renowned architects Kelly & Stone. Live here now. Build what comes next. Over the past two years, the majority of the heavy lifting has been done. The custom home is fully designed and has TRPA approval, putting this site well ahead of a typical lakefront lot with no plans. Build the current vision or refine it. The flexible floor plan for the new residence features four generous bedrooms, including a bunk room and a luxurious primary suite, and can be modified to as many as six bedrooms. Plans include a private gym and sauna with lake views, a dedicated theater, expansive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces that open onto decks and patios, multiple fireplaces, an outdoor kitchen, soaring timber-and-stone architecture, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the mountain and lake views. In addition, this parcel and the adjoining neighbor won the 2025 shared pier lottery, further cementing this opportunity for lakefront living at its finest. The shared pier is in final TRPA review. Once approved, construction is expected next year and will deliver a deeded 12,000-pound boat lift on the shared 300-foot pier. Until then, the existing buoy already gives you effortless lake access from day one. A second buoy can be added after the pier is installed. 1754 Highway 50 is an exceedingly rare East Shore opportunity: enjoy lakefront living now from the existing cabin, the private path to the large sandy beach, and the buoy, while the next chapter is just around the corner.
