From bedrooms and baths to trout in stocked ponds, the story of Ultimate Homes is often about numbers. Even though the passions of owners are more crucial, dollar signs grab the most attention, especially when $100 million begins to define the pinnacle of residential real estate. This year, the numbers are clearly under the microscope. Prices are the barometer charting every bracket in every location, and nothing else illustrates just how much the ultra world has changed in a few short years…..

Tranquility is the largest privately owned piece of land in Lake Tahoe, and includes its own lake, art studio, boat house, guesthouse and two over-the-water golf holes.
