The Boathouse
Carnelian Bay, CA 96140 · 62 ft of frontage · restored boathouse · guest cabin
$7,600,000
A 1968 lakefront cabin taken back to the frame in 2022, with the original boathouse restored as living space rather than demolished.
The temptation with a property like this is to scrape it. The previous owners did not, and the result is a house that still reads as a Tahoe cabin while performing like new construction.
The boathouse is the reason to come and see it. Rather than being torn out, it was underpinned, insulated and reglazed, and now works as a second living room with the water directly outside the doors and light moving on the ceiling all afternoon.
In the main house the ceilings were opened to the trusses and painted out, the stone fireplace kept, and the kitchen redone in painted shaker and butcher block. Four bedrooms across the two structures, plus a separate guest cabin under the pines.
Sixty-two feet of frontage on a quiet stretch of Carnelian Bay, with a sand cove that is usable rather than decorative.
