About This Property

Great architecture enhances the landscape rather than competing with it. Designed and built by architect Richard Whittaker as his own residence, High Camp is a rare example of a home created in harmony with its surroundings. Shaped around massive granite outcroppings and thoughtfully positioned within the natural terrain, every line, material, and window was intentionally placed to deepen the connection to Tahoe rather than distract from it. The arrival itself is part of the experience. Ascending through the boulders, the staircase creates a gradual transition to elevated living spaces that offer enhanced privacy, perspective, and a feeling of retreat. Thoughtfully placed windows blur the line between indoors and out, while the unconventional floorplan and separate spaces create a sense of discovery unlike anything else on the North Shore. A detached studio with a loft above the garage provides additional flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, or a private retreat of its own. This is a design-forward property where architecture, landscape, and experience are intentionally intertwined. Hike directly from your backyard or take a short stroll to downtown Tahoe City, the marina, restaurants, and endless year-round adventure. High Camp offers a rare opportunity to live at the intersection of architecture, nature, and adventure.
