About This Property
Fairwinds is a one-of-a-kind legacy property embodying the elegance, history, and glamour of Lake Tahoe's storied past. Originally built as a summer retreat for one of the most prominent families of the early 1900s, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of Tahoe history and restore it to its former glory. Property addresses include 9898 Lake Street, 9892 Lake Street, and 9888 Pilot Lane. Rich in Old Tahoe architectural character, the estate captures an era when Lake Tahoe was an exclusive escape for high society. The home is being sold as-is and will require substantial renovation before it can be occupied — making this an ideal project for a visionary buyer, preservationist, or developer with the passion and resources to honor its heritage. For those with a different vision, the property also presents a compelling opportunity to start fresh — razing the existing structure and building a modern estate on one of the most coveted lakefront parcels in all of Tahoe. Either path leads to something extraordinary.The heart of the home is a great room with soaring ceilings, expansive lake-view windows, and a grand stone fireplace. A separate music room — backdrop for the estate's famed gatherings — adds unique character, along with lake-view sleeping quarters. Set along approximately 300 feet of pristine lake frontage, the property features a rare marina-style private pier with two boat slips — a foundation few Tahoe properties can offer regardless of condition. With panoramic lakeviews and a storied past, Fairwinds is a once-in-a-generation chance to steward a true piece of Tahoe history.

Land Coverage (TRPA)
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency impervious-coverage budget for this parcel
TRPA caps how much of each Tahoe Basin parcel can be covered by impervious surfaces — buildings, driveways, decks. Existing coverage is TRPA's satellite estimate; allowed coverage uses TRPA's verified land class when one is on file, otherwise TRPA's estimate — data: TRPA GIS / Tahoe Open Data, LT Info. The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.
