A Rare New Lakefront Estate on Tahoe’s West Shore with an upper undeveloped lot well-suited for a future five bedroom guest house or sport court. This breathtaking brand new 4,095 sq. ft. lakefront residence sits on a one-acre estate parcel with rare southern exposure, offering some of the most stunning mountain and lake vistas in all of Lake Tahoe. With 100 feet of frontage, private buoys, adjoining pier privileges, white sand during low water, a deep water pier, plus a private detached 295 sq. ft. shoreline cabana with a spacious deck on the crystal clear turquoise waters, this property is designed for both elegance and comfortable lakeside living. The high end estate offers two points of entry—one via private Drum Road and the other through a gated entry on Highway 89—leading to an upper portion well-suited for a future five bedroom guest house or sport court. Additional amenities include a detached two-car garage with a potential for an expanded indoor parking on the upper portion of the property. Enter through the foyer to the primary suite on one side and three additional lakeview guest suites along a light-filled gallery. A sun deck provides the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or evening cocktails. There is a chase in place for future elevator. The lower level is designed for gathering and entertaining. Stairs lead to a well-appointed kitchen with a large pantry and fireplace, opening to a central patio with its own fireplace. A windowed hallway with a wine room connects to the living room, while a secondary staircase links to the guest wing overlooking Mt. Tallac—an inviting retreat for quiet reading. The central patio is ideal for summer celebrations, with steps leading down to the water’s edge. From here, stroll along the stone pathway to the adjoining pier where your boat awaits. Along the shoreline, the modern and stylish lakeside cabana—complete with a full bath—offers a unique setting for meditation, summer lunch “cook outs” on the deck and an occasional overnight “camp out,” a serene escape by the lake. Natural boulders line the peaceful shoreline of white sand and turquoise waters, located just south of Sugar Pine Point State Park, walking distance to hiking for all levels, and enjoying the best crystal clear water that Tahoe has to offer. This property is conveniently located on a very desirable private road, between Tahoe City and Emerald Bay which are only 15 min away. Nearby charming, Homewood —renowned for skiing with lake views—is minutes away, with fine dining and water sports options. Welcome to the heart of the West shore of Lake Tahoe. The upcoming Discovery Land Company development of Homewood Mountain Resort will include a new village at Homewood. Ideal for both winter and summer vacations, combining modern amenities with iconic Old Tahoe timeless elegance. Visit www.DrumHavenLakefront.com
