Lake Tahoe Luxury Property Sale Signals Strong Start for 2025 Market

A landmark Lake Tahoe estate has sold for $27.5 million, setting a new record for lakefront sales on the California side since May 2022.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. (Feb. 3, 2025) — A landmark Lake Tahoe estate has sold for $27.5 million, setting a new record for lakefront sales on the California side since May 2022. This sale marks a strong start for the 2025 luxury real estate market in Tahoe. Located at 2020 West Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City, the property is the first lakefront on the California side to surpass $20 million in over two-and-a-half years. “This sale represents not only a milestone transaction in the Lake Tahoe market but also highlights the continued demand for premier lakefront properties in one of the most sought-after regions in the U.S.,” said Bill Dietz, principal broker at Tahoe Luxury Properties. “The rare combination of privacy, breathtaking views, and unparalleled access to the lake makes properties like this highly coveted. We’re seeing strong, sustained interest from buyers seeking a slice of this iconic destination.”

The 12,660-square-foot estate, situated on 1.7 level acres with 130 feet of lake frontage, features nine bedrooms, eight full baths, and two half baths. The property includes a private deep-water pier with boat lift, a 22-meter indoor lap pool, and a custom-designed in-ground spa.The sale comes amid a robust recovery in Lake Tahoe's luxury market. In 2024, the region saw median prices stabilize near peak levels reached during the pandemic surge, with the lakefront market experiencing a dramatic 67% year-over-year increase in sales volume. This rebound, coupled with recent high-value transactions on the Nevada side—including a $62 million sale in October 2024 and a $33.5 million sale in December 2024—underscores the enduring appeal of Lake Tahoe real estate.

The transaction closed with an accelerated escrow just 14 days after going into contract. Its rapid sale underscores the urgency and strong demand alongside the competitive nature of the luxury Tahoe market.

Looking ahead to 2025, market indicators suggest continued strength in the luxury sector. "With limited inventory, particularly for lakefront properties, and sustained demand from qualified buyers, we anticipate another strong year for premium offerings," Dietz noted.
