Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty announces the listing of 4076 Courchevel Road, a design-forward mountain retreat in Tahoe City known as “Rendezvous,” owned by Christopher Stringer and Elizabeth Paige Smith. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is offered at $1,150,000 and represented by Dave Westall of Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty.

Stringer, a former top industrial designer at Apple and founder and Chief Design Officer of premium audio company Syng, and Smith, an artist and furniture designer known for custom mahogany and cast-form pieces, bring a deeply considered eye for material, form and atmosphere to their work. Their design sensibility was showcased in their 1927 Venice Beach bungalow, featured in Architectural Digest after a two-year renovation, and carries seamlessly into their Tahoe City getaway, where a bold, tactile and unapologetically personal vintage alpine-lounge aesthetic has been thoughtfully preserved and elevated.

Built in 1974 on a 0.26-acre lot bordered on three sides by California Tahoe Conservancy land, 4076 Courchevel Road is a 1,172-square-foot cabin that honors its original mountain character while offering thoughtful modern updates. A private sauna, wood-burning fireplace, sunken conversation pit, exposed beams, vintage redwood paneling, and high ceilings create a warm, distinctly Tahoe atmosphere, complemented by multi-zone in-floor radiant heating. Two redesigned decks capture views of the Sierra Crest, while the updated kitchen features mahogany cabinetry, golden-yellow travertine, and premium Wolf, Zephyr, Asko, and Fisher & Paykel appliances. Two beautifully renovated travertine bathrooms, a dedicated laundry room, and a convenient mud room complete this inviting mountain retreat. 

“Rendezvous is a rare example of a Tahoe home where the original 1970s design language has been embraced rather than erased. From the redwood paneling and vaulted ceilings to the conversation pit, sauna, and burnt-orange palette, every choice feels intentional and true to the era. The result is far more than a typical Tahoe retreat. It is a home with real personality, a conversation piece, and a place designed to be experienced, shared, and remembered.” — Dave Westall, Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty

The home sits within the Alpine Peaks community, with HOA amenities including tennis courts and parking access to the Sherwood chairlift, and offers direct access to the Tahoe Rim Trail — putting skiing, hiking and Lake Tahoe itself within easy reach.
