INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — High above the eastern shores of Lake Tahoe, a sprawling estate once owned by a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee has entered the market for $43 million, offering buyers a rare combination of celebrity provenance, protected privacy, and commanding alpine views.
Located at 969 Fairview Boulevard in Incline Village, the 18,922-square-foot residence has served as a private sanctuary for one of America’s most celebrated musicians for more than 40 years. Set on 2.5 acres and surrounded by an additional six acres permanently placed into conservation, the property enjoys a level of seclusion that is increasingly difficult to find anywhere around Lake Tahoe.

“The conservation acreage surrounding the estate creates a setting that simply cannot be recreated today,” said listing agent Jeannette Harpole of Keller Williams Group One Inc. “The privacy, views, and natural environment are permanently protected, making this one of the most unique legacy properties on Lake Tahoe.”

The estate unfolds behind an elegant wrought-iron gate, leading to a residence filled with distinctive architectural and artistic details. A hand-carved solid wood Ganesha entry door opens to interiors centered around an indoor koi pond flowing beneath a dramatic spiral staircase, capped by a hand-painted celestial dome.

Designed as both a family retreat and an entertainment destination, the home offers 10 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms across three levels. The primary suite occupies its own private wing and opens directly onto a lake-view terrace overlooking Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Additional amenities include a professional chef’s kitchen, private cinema, wine cellar and tasting room, executive boardroom, fitness center, cedar sauna, steam room, and multiple entertaining spaces designed for hosting on a grand scale.

A Rare Lake Tahoe Legacy Estate
What truly separates the property from many luxury homes currently available in the region is its protected setting.
The six acres surrounding the residence have been permanently preserved by the family, preventing future development and ensuring uninterrupted views of Lake Tahoe. The conservation land creates a private buffer rarely available in one of the West Coast’s most sought-after luxury markets.
Buyers exploring the broader region can find additional market insights in our Lake Tahoe Luxury Real Estate Market Guide, which examines pricing trends, waterfront demand, and the area’s most prestigious enclaves.
The estate also ranks among the Largest Homes in Nevada, a category increasingly dominated by private compounds designed for multi-generational living and large-scale entertaining.
Built for Entertaining and Retreat
While the property’s celebrity ownership history may attract headlines, its lifestyle amenities are equally compelling.
The residence features:
- 10 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms
- Professional chef’s kitchen
- Private movie theater
- Wine cellar and tasting room
- Executive boardroom
- Fitness center
- Cedar sauna and steam room
- Multiple lake-view terraces
- Five-car attached garage

The result is a self-contained retreat overlooking one of North America’s most celebrated alpine lakes.
“The home was designed around both privacy and gathering,” Harpole said. “Every space feels intentional, whether you’re hosting dozens of guests or simply enjoying the views in complete solitude.”
Lake Tahoe Luxury Continues to Draw Ultra-High-Net-Worth Buyers
Incline Village remains one of the most desirable luxury markets in the American West, attracting entrepreneurs, executives, and entertainers seeking Nevada’s tax advantages alongside year-round recreation.
Properties combining significant acreage, protected views, and celebrity provenance rarely come to market, particularly on Lake Tahoe’s eastern shoreline where development opportunities remain limited.
For architecture enthusiasts, the estate also reflects many of the characteristics explored in our guide to Luxury Home Architecture Around Lake Tahoe, where custom estates often blend mountain-resort influences with highly personalized design elements.
With nearly 19,000 square feet of living space, a deeply private setting, and a connection to American music history spanning more than four decades, 969 Fairview Boulevard stands as one of the most distinctive residential offerings currently available in the Lake Tahoe luxury market.
