20 Cal Neva Drive, Crystal Bay, NV 89402-7706

Legacy Lakeview Estate in Crystal Bay, Nevada. Where the rugged landscape of California meets the panache of Nevada. Overlooking the clear waters of Lake Tahoe and distant mountain panorama, the estate was planned over fourteen years with Architect Brad Puttman working closely with Landscape architects Cornell, Bridgers & Troller of Los Angeles and the homeowners to create their version of a Bavarian-style retreat.The entrance is securely gated, and the boundaries are protected by a hand-hewn rock wall topped with a redwood-slatted chain link fence. The residence overlooks a terraced slope with indigenous plantings, boulders, and tiled walkways. The central living area features a wall of glass combined with the hand-hewn wood beams brought from California's first sawmill in Sacramento, a travertine fireplace, an antique Tole chandelier, and cabinetry of backlighted antique stained glass to create an atmosphere of old-world comfort.
