Originally the Townsend Family Estate, this iconic Old Tahoe property carries a rich heritage, spanning ownership from the early 1900s until 2004 when it sold for the first time to the current owners. A major remodel in 2009 introduced substantial additions, blending modern comfort with timeless charm. Situated on three contiguous lots, ownership extends from Sacramento Ave to San Souci, providing parking on both streets for ultimate convenience. The estate boasts six bedrooms, three full baths, two half baths, and two laundry areas, ensuring ample space for gatherings of all sizes. This property offers exclusive access to a shared beach and pier, owned by just four families. This property includes a rare private moorage with two permitted buoys, why not have 2 boats? For entertainment, the estate features a separate A-frame bunkhouse, as well as a covered bar—the social heart of outdoor fun. Open the bar counter shutters, grab a seat, and watch sports on the built-in TV, or simply relax in the tranquil forest setting. Two horseshoe pits, expansive patios, decks and a hot tub set the scene for celebration and relaxation. The massive, irrigated lawn beneath towering pines provides a breathtaking backdrop—ideal for a Tahoe wedding, a lively family reunion, or summer festivities on the Westshore of Lake Tahoe. Stroll down to the pier, load up your guests, and embark on a scenic boat ride to Emerald Bay, or cruise to lakeside restaurants for lunch or dinner. Inside, history meets entertainment—choose between the original living room, the new family room, or the multi-purpose game room, featuring three queen bunks, three single loft beds, a wet bar, and a massive sports-screen TV, with table games from puzzles to poker, there's something for everyone. A truly rare offering, this estate provides unmatched privacy, acreage, and lakeside exclusivity, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Tahoe's heritage.
