Legacy Lakeview Estate in Crystal Bay

Where the rugged landscape of California meets the panache of Nevada, Legacy Lakeview Estate overlooks the clear waters of Lake Tahoe and distant mountain panorama. This Bavarian-style compound was planned over fourteen years with architect Brad Puttman working closely with landscape architects Cornell, Bridgers & Troller of Los Angeles to create an alpine retreat. The securely gated entrance and hand-hewn rock wall ensure complete privacy. The main residence overlooks terraced slopes with indigenous plantings, boulders, and tiled walkways, while three alpine guest cottages complete the compound. The central living area features a wall of glass combined with hand-hewn wood beams brought from California's first sawmill in Sacramento, a travertine fireplace, antique Tole chandelier, and cabinetry of backlighted antique stained glass creating an atmosphere of old-world comfort that transports residents to the elegance of a European alpine village while remaining firmly rooted in the natural splendor of Lake Tahoe. This property listing includes two parcels and four buildings. Three cottages at 16 Cal Neva Drive (apn 123-041-11, Washoe County) and the main house at 20 Cal Neva Drive (apn 123-041-07, Washoe County). Square footage is approximate.
