A
stunning 4.29-acre estate on Rubicon Bay's shoreline at Lake Tahoe is listed for $35 million, owned by a Nevada family with roots dating back over 150 years. The property at 8901 Rubicon Drive in Tahoma, California, boasts over 660 feet of lakefront and features a compound, a third parcel ripe for development, a pier, and a boathouse.

    The Henderson family's longtime vacation home, purchased by Harriet and Wellington Henderson in 1960, is being sold after a 60-year legacy. The property holds many cherished memories for the family, with Harriet selecting the site after extensive exploration of the West Shore.

    The mostly level acreage offers a main house, a bunkhouse/garage with an extra bedroom suite, and a separate guest house. The 3,848-square-foot main house, built in 1949, features six bedrooms, five baths, and a midcentury design with a contemporary feel. The kitchen and baths were updated several years ago, but the original kitchen cabinets remain intact.

    The great room boasts an indoor stone fireplace, a dining area, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the lake. This seamless indoor/outdoor living experience opens onto the outdoor terrace, complete with a covered dining area, ample seating, and its own stone fireplace. Guests can access over 660 feet of shoreline from the patio, featuring a dock, boathouse, lakeside seating area, and moorings.

    The property's southeast location provides stunning views and optimal sun exposure for both sunrises and sunset. "You can see a panoramic view of almost the entire lake," said Joan Henderson, one of the members of the trust. "It's stunning and mesmerizing, and we always gather out there to talk and be together."

    Next to the house is a two-car garage converted into a 500-square-foot guesthouse with a bunk and midcentury-designed bathroom. A second two-bedroom guesthouse, built in 1960, offers 892 square feet of living space and a lakeview deck with stairs down to the water. The property's greenery includes a grass course for outdoor activities like volleyball, croquet, and horseshoes.

    "Being on the property, we hear echoes of a magical time in our family history," said Joan Henderson. "We have been incredibly privileged and blessed to have had this amazing home in our family for almost 65 years."
