Monument Peak, South Lake Tahoe

With steep rooflines, vast windows, and wood and beamed ceilings, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom South Lake Tahoe home embodies modern alpine architecture. The spacious living room soars to a peak, echoing the surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains and opening to a deck with forest and filtered lake views.

The feeling of a true mountain lodge comes through in the three-level home’s rustic elegance and scale: a two-story stone fireplace in the living room; a loft-style game room, and wood floors and natural materials throughout.

The chef’s kitchen is a blend of luxury and practicality, with rich wood cabinets, a professional-grade gas range and double wall ovens. Choose to nosh at the formal table or the massive kitchen island. Either way, you can grab your favorite vintage from the wine room!

The primary suite is bright and airy, with a soaring, wood-clad ceiling, deck access and a luxurious en suite bathroom with natural stone. Guest bedrooms and bathrooms offer more of the same, and include a bunk room that sleeps six.

The loft game room is the perfect spot for billiards or watching the sun set, while a lower level family room is ideal for movies and gaming. The back deck offers a jetted hot tub for relaxing in privacy on one end, and BBQ and dining space on the other. The home is serviced by an elevator to allow easy access from top to bottom, and is warmed by radiant in-floor heating. The driveway is also heated.

The property, surrounded by forest parcels, is a two-minute walk to a tram to reach Heavenly, the area’s biggest ski resort. The home comes fully furnished and professionally decorated.
