In Lake Tahoe, a wealthy enclave in California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, a waterfront estate with 175 feet of private beach has hit the market for $44 million, Katherine Clarke reported for The Wall Street Journal.
The 3.3-acre property is a two-minute drive from Facebook CEO's Mark Zuckerberg's $59 million compound on the lake's west shore. It comes up for sale as wealthy Californians are flocking to Lake Tahoe during the pandemic in search of more space. One of the area's top real-estate agents told Business Insider's Natasha Solo-Lyons that Angelenos and San Franciscans are making over-ask offers and getting into bidding wars for homes surrounding the lake.
The $44 million home on the west shore of the lake, which is listed with Tahoe Luxury Properties, comes with 175 feet of private beach and a marina-style pier with jet ski lifts. Inside is a home theater, a 2,000-bottle wine cellar, and seven bedrooms, including a 1,500-square-foot master suite with a private gym.
