Luxury Lakefront Retreat

Rarely does a lakefront property of this caliber become available in the heart of the gated Glenbrook community.  Glenbrook was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, as being one of the most exclusive mountain zip codes in the United States.  

This remarkable estate property is part of the distinguished and privately owned Shakespeare Ranch, surrounded by lakefront panoramas, mountain vistas and pristine open meadows in all directions.

One of the most prominent Lake Tahoe pioneers and visionaries, Duane L. Bliss, chose this particular piece of land to build his personal Lake Tahoe estate. Over one-hundred years later, this stand-out property remains a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking the exceptional lakefront location.

Overlooking the famous sparkling blue waters of Lake Tahoe, the property boasts two private buoys, shared use of one of the longest private deep-water piers on the lake for loading and unloading passengers by boat, and a sandy beach, making it a haven for boating and outdoor enthusiasts. It serves as an excellent home base to explore all that Lake Tahoe has to offer.

Against the picturesque backdrop of Shakespeare Rock, you'll find five winterized boutique cabins, each with names inspired by the works of William Shakespeare, providing a total of 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, two livings areas, multiple kitchens, one enclosed sitting deck, and four exterior decks.

Nestled amidst lush lawns, manicured pathways, giant Jeffrey Pines, Cottonwoods, and mature Aspen trees, these charming cabins offer a historic sense of tranquility and harmony with nature.  Taking in the magnificence of Mt. Tallac, Desolation Wilderness and Emerald Bay to the west, along with captivating Sierra sunsets in the evenings, are experiences not soon forgotten.

One of the unique features of this property is its  five separate living spaces, providing a multitude of development possibilities for a new owner. Whether you prefer an authentic Old Tahoe vacation experience with family and friends in the charming cabins or envision remodeling the cabins to your personal taste, or eventually designing a brand new home and guest home, this property offers numerous potential options.

The Glenbrook Community, itself, is reminiscent of a private luxury resort, nestled in a protected valley amidst 700 acres of meadows and forested lands. With an optional membership to the Glenbrook Club, a new owner has access to a seasonal restaurant and coffee shop, as well as a private 9-hole golf course, once frequented by Hollywood icons Clark Gable and Rita Hayworth - the only residential golf course on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Since their inception, this golf course and community continue to represent the epitome of easy going mountain living. 

Despite the remote and private feel, this convenient location on the east shore offers close proximity to airports, world class skiing resorts, championship golf courses, restaurants, shopping, performance venues, and the new Lake Tahoe Event Center, providing a myriad of year around entertainment and leisure opportunities.

This legacy lakefront property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lake Tahoe's esteemed history and natural splendor. Craft cherished memories that will last a lifetime and endure for generations to come.
