Property Description
Welcome to a truly exceptional offering on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe—an iconic lakefront lodge with deep historical roots, having once been the beloved estate of baseball legend Ty Cobb. Built in 1938 and extensively remodeled, this timeless retreat blends the character and craftsmanship of old Tahoe with thoughtful modern upgrades, set across 1.13 acres of beautifully landscaped terrain. The estate spans two legal parcels and boasts 50 feet of private shoreline, a deeded boat buoy, and breathtaking westerly exposure for golden afternoon light and vibrant, year-round sunsets.
The primary lakefront parcel features the impeccably preserved and updated main residence, which captures the spirit of a bygone era with aged knotty pine paneling, restored original hardwood floors from the 1930s, and a grand stone fireplace that has warmed generations. Towering windows in the great room frame expansive views of the lake and surrounding Sierras, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and grandeur. The open-concept kitchen has been tastefully modernized with high-end appliances, natural stone surfaces, and generous sightlines for effortless entertaining and daily living.
The home's layout is designed for comfort and flexibility. The main level offers a serene primary suite along with two guest bedrooms and a remodeled bath. A spacious new lakeside addition includes a beautifully finished media/family room and an impressive four-car garage—ideal for housing recreational gear and accommodating guests. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, ample storage, and potential for further expansion, making it well-suited for multi-generational living or creative reconfiguration.
Outdoor spaces are equally inviting. Step out onto expansive lakeside decks designed for al fresco dining, relaxing under starry skies, or taking in the peaceful lapping of waves against the shore. A private walkway leads from the home to a secluded beach area, while lush, mature landscaping and perimeter fencing enhance privacy and create a serene retreat atmosphere.
Enhancing the property's value and potential is the inclusion of a second, buildable lakeview parcel on the upper tier of the estate. Complete with preliminary architectural plans, this lot opens the door for future development, whether as a guesthouse, additional residence, or expanded compound. This rare dual-lot configuration is ideal for those seeking long-term flexibility, legacy planning, or the opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind estate.
Utility features include private water rights and a shared pump system with the neighboring property, providing added autonomy and practical functionality. A new standing-seam metal roof adds durability and style, while the security fencing and gated drive ensure peace of mind and ease of access.
Properties of this heritage and quality rarely come to market. Whether you're drawn by its historic significance, its masterful blending of old Tahoe charm and contemporary comfort, or its remarkable development potential, this is a legacy estate that captures the very best of lakeside living on one of Lake Tahoe's most coveted shorelines.
