Filed under: Real Estate Developments

The latest luxury project to ruffle feathers on the shores of Lake Tahoe is the Tahoe Beach Club. The new development is a planned project of condos and estate homes to be located on the site of the existing Tahoe Shores Mobile Home Park, a fact that upsets and uproots the 30 remaining residents of the park. The developers, who plan to sell the 124 condominiums at over $1 million each, are constructing a green-friendly project that will include a water treatment system. The $200 million to $250 million project will have stone-and-wood lodges with lofts and porches and there will be a private beach club including a fitness center, snack bars, restaurant and a private sandy beach. The residents of the trailer park have been offered various buyout plans including a $5,000 payment, a move to another park or the fair appraised value of their trailers but are currently holding firm even though they know they will inevitably be forced to move.

Filed under: Estates

One of the last old-time estates on the west shore of Lake Tahoe in Meeks Bay, CA is up for sale. The Drum House, one of the last older estates on the west shore of Lake Tahoe has been listed at $36.5 million. The home was designed by San Francisco architect G. Albert Lansburgh and was bought by John Drum, president of the American Trust Co. in 1923. Sign On San Diego reports some of the key details of the home including the fact that the ten-bedroom main lodge was built with cedar logs shipped to Tahoe from Oregon. The Drum estate has a long history that includes a visit from Charles Lindbergh. The home was bought in 1961 by Erik Jonsson, former mayor of Dallas and founder of Texas Instruments. As the home has been passed down it now belongs to multiple members of the family which has prompted the sale. The lakefront 10-acre estate is composed of two parcels, one of which could also be subdivided into two pieces. Structures include the main lodge, three guest cottages, a modern, four-bedroom lakefront home, a boat house, tennis court and two piers.
