Searching for a room with a view? Chase International’s newest property listing, Secret Cove, offers stunning Lake Tahoe views from virtually every room.

Perched on the dramatic aquamarine shoreline at the juncture of Lakeshore and Highway 28, the 7,130-square Ira Rodman built custom home was built in 1999.

“Some house plans suit the property perfectly and this is one of those,” explains Ira Rodman who has been designing and building custom homes in the Lake Tahoe area for over 30 years.

Unassuming from the road, this extremely private, craftsman-inspired residence is artfully oriented to take full advantage of its dramatic lakeside vantage point.

“This home offers such a unique perspective on Lake Tahoe,” says Kerry Donovan of Donovan Group that is listing the property. “Secret Cove Incline has stunning views from most rooms, magnified by the location on translucent crystal waters.”

The floor plan is simple with elevator access to all levels beginning from the interior door at the three-car garage.

“This means the homeowners won’t have to worry about transporting bulky or heavy items from floor to floor,” adds co-listing agent Megan Warren. “And folks will also enjoy the elevator because it features whimsical Western portraits painted by local artist Beth Cayce.”

With Lake Tahoe serving as the glittering aquamarine backdrop, the home’s main level living area features a great room setting with a massive stone fireplace. The dining room includes a spacious table with seating for 12 under a distinctive custom chandelier that depicts colorful Western imagery by Utah artist Peter Fillerup of Wild West Design. Fillerup’s craftsmanship has been featured in Architectural Digest and Luxury Living magazines.

From its hickory flooring to its massive trestle wood beams, Rodman’s signature craftsmanship is evident throughout. According to Donovan, the ambience is an “elegant Western décor.” The kitchen features high-end Viking appliances and striking custom built knotty pine with furniture finish cabinetry.

Elegant outside living is always just a French door away in this home that has decks, patios and balconies extending from the kitchen, executive office, lower entertainment room and lower floor bedroom suite.

The master floor includes a spa suite and executive office with a handsome fireplace and beautiful private deck. Also on this floor are a wine room and a large home theater complete with hand-carved moldings and hand-painted ceiling depicting the Tahoe night sky. Additionally, there is a powder room and laundry room on this floor.

The guest floor features two bedroom suites and a game room with walk out patio. The home’s four bathrooms and two powder rooms are accented with artistic custom tile work. The master bath shower has colorful stylized fish, while a delightful cowboy rowboat theme can be found in the fireplace guestroom bath.

From the tile work that graces the kitchen and bathrooms to the cast bronze custom chandelier, this residence embraces creative vision at every turn.

Still, many would argue that the real artwork here can be found plein air as Secret Cove offers 80 feet of lakefront frontage, seasonal sandy beach and two permitted buoys. Granite steps lead down to the private cove. The area is landscaped with a mid-slope fire pit area that urges people to sit and enjoy the sun setting on yet another perfect Tahoe day.

Secret Cove is listed at $12,500,000 with Donovan Group, a division of Chase International.
