Just Sold | Buyer Acquires Dollar Point Lakefront Retreat for $10M

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Prime Lakefront Location in Dollar Point

3334 Edgewater Drive, Tahoe City, California

5 Bedrooms | 4.5 Bathrooms | 3,955 SF

Sale Price $10,000,000

Dollar Point Lakefront in Tahoe City

As Fall approaches, demand for Lake Tahoe lakefront properties remains as strong as ever. This recent $10M sale at 3334 Edgewater Drive, in the highly sought-after community of Dollar Point, is a benchmark for continued interest in lakefront living and a reminder of why Tahoe remains one of the world’s most desirable destinations for luxury real estate.

Why This Sale Stands Out

Dollar Point offers some of the most coveted shoreline on Lake Tahoe, and opportunities like this are rare. For our buyers, the appeal was clear—unmatched lakefront living paired with the vibrant lifestyle and sense of community that Dollar Point is known for.

Buyer Motivations

  • Lifestyle & Community: The buyers were drawn to the unparalleled Tahoe lifestyle, where lakefront living means both serenity and connection.

  • Prime Location: Dollar Point’s combination of privacy and proximity to Tahoe City makes it a standout choice for families and vacation homeowners alike.

  • Ongoing Demand: With limited lakefront inventory, securing a home of this caliber reflects the continued strength of Tahoe’s luxury market.

  • Spacious Retreat: The residence offers 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and expansive gathering spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday living.

Luxury with Timeless Design

Originally redesigned and expanded by renowned architect Dick Whitaker, this 3,955 sq. ft. home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Highlights include a temperature-controlled wine cellar with capacity for 2,500 bottles—perfectly curated for display and tastings—and sweeping 180-degree lake and mountain views. Fully furnished and move-in ready, this retreat captures the essence of turnkey luxury living.

Looking Ahead

Lake Tahoe lakefront homes continue to set records and define luxury in this world-class destination. Whether buying or selling, opportunities like these highlight the enduring appeal of Tahoe’s shoreline lifestyle.

Considering selling or searching for your Tahoe retreat? We are happy to help deliver results and exceptional representation.

Wishing you a wonderful Fall season in the Sierra. 🍂

Lake Tahoe Lakefront Homes: Rare, Coveted, and In Demand

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Why Tahoe Lakefront Homes Are So Exclusive

Lakefront at 7708 N Lake Blvd, Tahoe Vista

Lake Tahoe lakefront homes are some of the most sought-after properties in the world. With only a limited number of homes directly on the shoreline, each one represents a rare opportunity to experience world-class luxury living in one of the most breathtaking destinations on earth.

The supply of lakefront homes in Lake Tahoe is extremely limited. With fewer than 60 properties currently available across the entire basin, the market remains one of the most exclusive in the country. Strict environmental oversight, state and county regulations, and the scarcity of developable lakefront land ensure that demand consistently outweighs supply.

This unique dynamic makes lakefront real estate in Tahoe a true legacy investment—not just a home, but a lifestyle to pass on for generations.

What Makes Lakefront Living So Special

Owning a Lake Tahoe lakefront home means more than just a prime location. It’s about:

  • Unparalleled Views – Panoramic lake and mountain scenery, every season of the year.

  • Private Shoreline Access – From sandy beaches to deep-water piers.

  • World-Class Recreation – Boating, paddleboarding, hiking, and skiing, all at your doorstep.

  • Timeless Value – A piece of Tahoe’s shoreline is one of the rarest assets in real estate.

Featured Lakefront Listings

We’re proud to represent some of the most exceptional lakefront homes currently available:

  • 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,304 SF

  • Offered at $4,895,000
    A charming North Shore lakefront retreat with direct water access and classic Tahoe character.

The Market Outlook

High-profile sales continue to set records around the lake, underscoring the strength of the Tahoe luxury real estate market. Buyers are drawn not only by the region’s beauty but also by its reputation as a safe, long-term investment.

With such limited supply and strong demand, Lake Tahoe lakefront properties remain one of the most valuable segments of luxury real estate.

Just Sold | Kings Beach Record Lakefront Sale at $14.5M

Posted on by Liza Muhl

Record-Breaking and Highest Recorded in our MLS: Lakefront Sale in Kings Beach at $14.5M

9910 Lake Street, Kings Beach, California

5 Bedrooms | 6 Bathrooms | 4,729 SF

Sale Price $14,500,000

Lakefront in Kings Beach, California

We’re thrilled to share the recent closing of 9910 Lake Street in Kings Beach, which sold for $14,500,000—now the highest recorded MLS sale in Kings Beach or Tahoe Vista.

Why This Sale Was Unique

Lakefront homes in Tahoe are among the most nuanced and complex properties in our market. Each lakefront home comes with its own set of characteristics and challenges, and this one was no exception.

What made this transaction stand out was that the property was still under construction—both the home and the pier—at the time of sale. Successfully closing a lakefront home in the middle of construction required navigating countless moving parts.

Navigating the Complexities of a Lakefront Sale

This sale required collaboration across multiple agencies and experts, including:

  • California State Lands

  • Army Corps of Engineers

  • Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA)

  • Placer County

  • The builder, architect, and land use consultant

It was truly a delicate dance of coordination, approvals, and communication.

Off-Market Success

One of the most remarkable aspects of this closing was that the home never hit the open market. After just a few calls, the first agent who toured the home brought us the buyer.

This result was only possible thanks to an incredible team of professionals working together with dedication and transparency.

A Team Effort

This would not have happened without a spectacular team of people, all who worked tirelessly alongside us with the absolute best communication and teamwork. It was a collective effort that showcased the power of strong relationships and trust in the Tahoe luxury real estate community.

What This Means for the Tahoe Market

At $14.5 million, this sale sets a new benchmark for luxury properties in Kings Beach and Tahoe Vista within our MLS records. It’s a powerful reminder of the continued demand for Lake Tahoe lakefront homes and the unique value of lakefront living in this world-class destination.

When you choose to work with Amie and her team, you’re partnering with real estate professionals who will position your property for success.

Discover the More Intimate West Shore Neighborhoods

Discover Tahoe’s West Shore Neighborhoods

Introduction to Tahoe’s West Shore

Lake Tahoe’s West Shore is a hidden gem, offering a quieter, more intimate lifestyle than the busier North Shore. Known for its timeless charm, stunning lake views, and strong sense of community, the West Shore is ideal for families, second-home buyers, and anyone seeking the quintessential Tahoe lifestyle. From private beaches to alpine trails, these neighborhoods combine outdoor adventure with serene living.

Tahoma: Rustic Charm & Alpine Living

Nestled between Homewood and Sugar Pine Point State Park, Tahoma Tahoe homes are cherished for their rustic, family-friendly vibe. The name “Tahoma” comes from the Yakama Nation word meaning “snowy mountain peak”, reflecting the area’s alpine beauty. Tahoma features a mix of original Old Tahoe cabins and modern chalets set among towering pines, with easy access to hiking trails, bike paths, and the lake. Buyers love Tahoma for its quiet streets, community atmosphere, and authentic Tahoe experience.

Tahoe Park: Exclusive Lakefront Amenities

Tahoe Park homes for sale are highly sought after thanks to the Tahoe Park Beach Association, which offers 3 acres of private lakefront, two piers, buoys, and picnic areas. This neighborhood combines lake access with a strong sense of community, making it ideal for families or anyone who wants private waterfront amenities without paying lakefront prices. Close proximity to Sunnyside and other West Shore attractions adds to its appeal.

Talmont Estates: Elevated Views & Privacy

Talmont Estates properties sit above Tahoe Park, offering panoramic lake and mountain views. Homes here range from classic A-frame chalets to modern mountain retreats, many with access to Tahoe Park Association beaches. The elevated location provides privacy, stunning sunsets, and a serene environment perfect for full-time living or weekend getaways.

Tahoe Swiss Village: Intimate Neighborhood by the Lake

Tahoe Swiss Village is small, charming, and intimate, with its own HOA-managed beach, pier, and buoy field. It’s just steps from Sunnyside and Tahoe City, providing a balance of privacy and convenience. This neighborhood is ideal for buyers seeking seclusion, community, and easy access to the lake and nearby amenities.

Why Choose West Shore Real Estate?

From legacy estates to cozy cabins, the West Shore Tahoe neighborhoods offer something for everyone. The combination of private lake access, alpine trails, and a relaxed, scenic lifestyle ensures residents enjoy the best of Lake Tahoe. Whether you’re searching for a family getaway, an executive retreat, or a legacy home, Tahoma, Tahoe Park, Talmont Estates, and Tahoe Swiss Village are prime locations to explore.
