Luxury Villa, Panoramic Views, Pier, Concierge!

Welcome to Elevation Estate

Awarded Tahoe Quarterly's prestigious Outstanding Mountain Home of the Year in 2015, the estate is an architectural and design marvel. This truly, one-of-a-kind, 5,800 square foot home was constructed on a hillside spanning 200 feet in elevation (hence the name).

This home offers 270-degree unobstructed panoramic views of Lake Tahoe from up to 70 feet above the water’s edge. Comprising a main house, guest house and studio apartment, this home captures all of Tahoe's natural beauty. The home is thoughtfully sectioned to comfortably accommodate multiple families/generations.

Key Features of the property include:

Lakefront estate with panoramic lake views
Award-winning design
High-end furnishings
(2) 3-story elevators - message for details
1 Car garage
ChargePoint Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Split lakefront with a private, shared deep water pier with buoy available upon request

Concierge and pier:

Luxury accommodation includes 24/7 concierge to recommend and/or help coordinate transportation, summer activities - boats & watersports, hiking, climbing, biking, tours and winter activities - skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sledding. Also fitness accommodations, massage, groceries/wine/alcohol, dinner reservations and much more.

The house sits on Agate Bay, one of the calmest bays on Lake Tahoe. Ideal for boating and watersports. Enjoy a private, locked, boat-accessible pier, shared with adjacent neighbor. Buoy available upon request.

Architecture and floorplan:

To achieve 270-degree views of the lake, a collection of towers raises locally sourced glacier stone, slate, steel, glass and redwood above the landscape.

A partially covered bridge, shored up with steel and paved with wood decking, connects the garage to the main house. The dining wing, which includes an outdoor dining deck, occupies the southwest corner of the house. Another outdoor space adjacent to the dining room is known as the cocktail deck, an ideal location for a sunset toast.

Magnificent House for a Group!

This property was incredible - multiple stories connected with elevator and walkway. Perfect for both my 91 year old mother as well as the younger children! Grace was so helpful with our planning ahead of time and Bill helped us once we arrived - always available. We loved using the dock for swimming, the multiple outdoor porches for sitting and eating, and the space this gave us so that all our family could sleep peacefully. Truly spectacular!

Stunning House with Amazing Views

We had a great quick trip to North Lake Tahoe. The house is incredible and the views can't be beat. It's like staying in an art museum. The location is ideal - 20 minutes in either direction and you're at Palisades or Northstar (Ikon and Epic passes, respectively). There's great dining both directions too - east to Kings Beach or west to Tahoe City (with Garwoods on the way!). The snow is FAB this year - get out there!

Everything Outstanding

Excellent communication with the owners and their concierge from beginning to end. The home was absolutely perfect for or family of 12 (9 adults and 3 kids, ages 3,4 & 7). The home is very unique and interesting and had all of the amenities we wanted. The owner, Grace, even ordered some toys for the kids before we got there. Can't say enough about it, we loved our stay and the Lake Tahoe area in general is a great place to vacation.

Tahoe 2024

The property was awesome. Elizabeth the manager incredibly helpful and responsive. Use of the dock and buoy perfect as we had a boat. Only complaint would be it is across from lake and noise kept us from having windows open at night and kept us on our toes crossing over to dock. Still would rent again.

The Best Views of Lake Tahoe!

We had a great time in Lake Tahoe! Grace and Sean were fantastic hosts. They provided a comprehensive guestbook and were readily available to assist us with any questions. The property is absolutely stunning and has the best views of Lake Tahoe we've seen! It's equally modern, stylish and cozy with plenty of room for a small or large groups to work and relax. While the main living and dining area is on the 6th floor - for the best views! - there are TWO elevators to take you there. The guest house is connected to the main house, so you never feel too far away from anyone, but it does have it's own full kitchen for those that wish to have some separate space. The location in North Lake is wonderful. It feels private but is very accessible off the main road and surrounded by cute neighborhoods and trails. Tahoe City and Squaw/Alpine are ~10 and ~20 minutes drive to the west and Northstar is ~18 minutes in the other direction. We went to Truckee for dinner (~25 minutes drive), which is a cute old town with great food and lovely people. We'll definitely be back this summer to use the pier :)

Views and Built for Family

The house and the views are stunning. The host was easy to reach and made sure the stay was seamless. Plenty of room to entertain as one group or split off for a work call during the week. We will be returning soon and hope to stay here again.

Amazing house with even better views!!

We had a perfect stay at Grace’s house - She made sure that our check-in was smooth and that everything went according to plan. The house is immaculate (and huge!)There’s plenty of space for my large family to stay comfortably. The outdoor fireplace / patio was a great spot for early morning coffees and late night wine. The house is well located and close to various restaurants, casinos, and right on the lake. Finishes throughout the house were modern and well done. The property included all cooking materials (including a grill) to host a great dinner. The pier looked newly built- we will need to return in the summer when we can properly utilize it! Would love to stay at this house again!

A perfect stay for our family

Having visited the area for years, I have stayed in a number of beautiful homes and can confidently say this one takes the cake. We needed a place that would comfortably house our multi-generational family, and Grace's home delivered. The views alone would have made our stay worthwhile, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. The design of the home is beautiful, from the furnishings to the layout. The house is laid out in a way that provided plenty of space and privacy for each of our family members while also making it easy to gather in any of the several beautiful living areas. A favorite of ours was the office area in the main house where we played a friendly round of poker, with incredible views of Lake Tahoe in the background. Though we did not get to take full advantage since it was winter, having a private dock really set this home apart from others we have stayed at in the past, and we cannot wait to come back during the summer and spend time on the lake. Sean was very helpful as well during the check-in process and was available throughout our stay for anything we needed. Our only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer! We are already looking at dates for our next trip to stay in Grace's place.
