Homewood, CA (January 25, 2018)<\/strong> If you\u2019ve seen the classic Francis Ford Coppola<\/p>\n

film The Godfather II<\/em> then you\u2019ll recognize Lake Tahoe\u2019s Fleur du Lac Estates as the lakeside backdrop as the site of Michael Corleone’s bash held in honor of his son\u2019s first communion \u2014<\/em>but\u00a0it’s simply best remembered as the spot where his older brother Fredo (John Cazale) is sent to his grave.<\/p>\n

The famed 15-acre enclave situated on the west shore of North Lake Tahoe offers residents a private lakefront community with exclusive access to unmatched amenities. Home to only 22 residences, Fleur du Lac\u2019s native stone walls guard the property creating a private way of life for all residents.<\/p>\n

A rare opportunity to be a part of this exclusive community is now available for $3,749,000. Ownership of Residence 13<\/a> offers bragging rights to a portion of the Fleur Du Lac legacy that goes beyond the silver screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fleur du Lac Estates was originally created as a retreat for wealthy industrialist, Henry Kaiser, the father of modern shipbuilding. With the soon-to-be completion of his Hoover Dam project, he desired a celebration site for friends and family. Kaiser set an ambitious goal to complete the estate within a mere 30 days, and with a crew of 300 men, working eight-hour shifts, 24-hours a day he succeeded. Kaiser loved Lake Tahoe and namely his boats so this location served him well for his home and party venue. In addition to constructing 17 residences, there were servants\u2019 quarters, small cottages, as well as his yacht club and boat house, both of which are still in use to this day. In honor of his favorite hydroplane he christened the estate Fleur Du Lac, \u201cFlower of the Lake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kaiser sold the estate in the 1960\u2019s, and the property later enjoyed a colorful history after its 1974 Hollywood debut .<\/p>\n

In the 1980\u2019s, a re-birth began which included the remodeling of some existing structures, and the new construction of 22 luxurious lakefront chateaus. Kaiser\u2019s original yacht club stands today as a reminder of our American industrial history and serves as a shared space where homeowners can relax or entertain and host private events while overlooking the beautiful harbor and Lake Tahoe skyline.<\/p>\n

Residence 13<\/a> is situated on a beautiful lakeside meadow with expansive views of Lake Tahoe and the snow-covered mountains. The wilderness of Lake Tahoe\u2019s rugged scenery is juxtaposed here against the classic luxury of one of Lake Tahoe\u2019s original estates.<\/p>\n

Residence 13<\/a> features a contemporary interior finish, with banded teak floors, stunning picture windows, and beautiful Italian marble and granite detailing. The estate features three bedrooms, four full baths, a library, gourmet kitchen, dining room, and living room; this 3,700+ square foot residence offers elegant luxury with exquisite craftsmanship throughout.<\/p>\n

\u201cFleur Du Lac Estates offers a lifestyle option that\u2019s difficult to duplicate in Lake Tahoe and brings the perfect combination of location, amenities and privacy,\u201d says Craig Miller, with Sierra Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. \u201cFor a fortunate few, it is a world unto itself on the magical west shore of Lake Tahoe.\u201d<\/p>\n
