Property description:
Home of the co-founder of Tommy Hilfiger, Tranquility, Lake Tahoe’s most prestigious property is offered for sale for the first time. Held in the same family for over 70 years and briefly owned by entertainer Wayne Newton, Tranquility evolved to its present form in 2000. Tranquility is a combination of balance, harmony, elegance and alpine spirit. I think you’ll agree that Tranquility is one of the world’s most important properties.

Sequestered in a pine and aspen forest with 210 acres of magical seclusion, Tranquility is the largest private landholding at Lake Tahoe. The centerpiece of the property is Lake Tranquility, a serene private lake that is stocked with brown trout. Complementing the grand main residence with over 20,000 square feet of quiet elegance is a grand staircase that is a replica of the staircase built in the S.S. Titanic. The welcoming cigar lounge is fashioned after a lounge in the St. Regis Hotel, and the library is inspired by the New York City Public Library. Sumptuous textiles, distinctive porcelains, and oil paintings in original carved-wood frames are both coveted and collected. The conservatory, accessed by an underground passage, and featuring an indoor glass mosaic swimming pool and spa, poolside bar and exercise facilities, overlooks the lake. Other buildings sprinkled around Lake Tranquility include the guest residence, the art studio, and the boat house pavilion - perfect for intimate gatherings on the shore of Lake Tranquility. The property also features a gymnasium with basketball court, stable, and separate residence quarters for guest and staff. Experts and duffers alike will enjoy the challenge of Tranquility’s two, over-the-water, par-three golf holes. The grounds and gardens provide a lavish setting to the estate yet meandering pathways and forest trails are Mother Nature at her best. The panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada are breathtaking.

- Owner Bill Gates

quote:

The Bill Gates family lives in the exclusive suburb of Medina, Washington, in a huge earth-sheltered home in the side of a hill overlooking Lake Washington.
Billionaire Bill Gates home is a very modern 21st century house in the "Pacific lodge" style, with advanced electronic systems everywhere. In one respect though it is more like an 18th or 19th century mansion: it has a large private library with a domed reading room. While it does have a classic flavour, the home has many unique qualities.
Lights would automatically come on when you came home. Speakers would be hidden beneath the wallpaper to allow music to follow you from room to room. Portable touch pads would control everything from the TV sets to the temperature and the lights,which would brighten or dim to fit the occasion or to match the outdoor light.
Visitors to Bill Gates House are surveyed and given a microchip upon entrance. This small chip sends signals throughout the house, and a given room's temperature and other conditions will change according to preset user preferences.
