The story
Backing to Bijou Golf Course on a flat, highly usable .63-acre parcel, this newly completed estate by Bob McIntyre reflects one of Tahoe's most tenured and respected builders, known for delivering grand alpine homes that balance scale, function, and design.The approach is defined by layered rooflines, a thoughtful mix of vertical and horizontal cedar siding in a rich stain, black-framed windows, and substantial natural stone that grounds the home in its setting.- -The main living level opens with volume and warmth, featuring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a wall of glass framing the golf course, surrounding pines, and filtered views toward Heavenly Ski Resort. A linear stone fireplace anchors the great room, which flows into a dining area designed for large gatherings, supported by additional cabinetry, beverage storage, and service space.The kitchen is built for real use at scale with dual islands, three dishwashers, dual 48-inch ranges, an additional wall oven, 72-inch built-in refrigeration, and a full walk-in pantry, offering both performance and efficiency whether hosting or unwinding.A covered rear deck extends the living space with composite decking, built-in BBQ, cooktop, pizza oven, and ample room for dining and lounge areas.- -The lower level is dedicated to entertainment, with over 3,400-sf designed to bring people together. A full walk-behind bar with seating for eleven anchors the space, complemented by multiple game areas, a theater room with high-end audio, and a wall of glass connecting to an indoor pool and steam suite.A 1,500-sf covered deck with fire feature and spa extends the experience outdoors, with a backyard designed for additional recreation.- -All 11 bedrooms are en suite, offering consistent comfort and privacy, with select suites featuring fireplaces or deck access. A separate-entry unit provides flexibility for extended stays or caretaker use with ADA-friendly design.Additional features include a tandem 4-car garage, dual laundry rooms, and a planned elevator connecting the garage to the main living level.- -Spanning 10,303-sf, the home is currently operating as a high-performing vacation rental with strong 2026 bookings already in place.A rare combination of scale, usability, and proven performance.
