It was the summer of 1940 when the Hacker Boat Company delivered Tahoe’s venerable Thunderbird Yacht to Mayfield’s Boatyard, now the Tahoe City Marina. Commissioned by George Whittell and to be housed at his private east shore lakefront estate, the Thunderbird was designed by famed naval architect John L. Hacker. Enamored by the lines of his DC-2 aircraft, also named “Thunderbird,"  the millionaire requested that the hull and cockpit of his new speedboat resemble the fuselage of his personal airplane. The Thunderbird Yacht continues to grace the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe to this day, a living reminder of the storied history we have here at Tahoe.

The Lake is home to an incredible legacy of history, from Ansel Adams and John Muir to Sinatra and Henry Kaiser, cherished memories appreciated by generations of families. This history is beautifully enjoyed and embodied in the Old Tahoe homes and wooden boats that still dot the shores of the Lake, a living reminder of the hands and stories that have crafted Lake Tahoe’s history.

One of these homes, 3970 North Lake Blvd., affectionately known as “Carnelian Charm,” built in the same year that the Thunderbird came to make its mark on Lake Tahoe, is now available for purchase. Lovingly maintained, and cared for throughout the decades, this lakefront cabin exudes charm, a timeless classic harkening to the simpler times at Tahoe.

Sold furnished, the home enjoys many updated features with two large lakeside decks, two bedrooms upstairs and two down, with a bathroom on each level.  An Old-Tahoe cabin in character, the home has been updated to enjoy many modern conveniences with Lutron lighting, beautiful landscaping with terraced gardens, a lakeside lawn, and remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. The home enjoys a one-car garage with epoxy floors, a bonus recreation room with full bathroom above, and game room with additional full bath below for a total of 4 bedrooms, two bonus rooms, and 4.5 bathrooms. A hand built craftsman gas fireplace with semi-precious stones inset into the hearth in the living room completes this special offering. The lakeside outdoor spa will be an ideal location from which to watch Thunderbird as she traverses across the north shore of Lake Tahoe.

With two buoys, and 50 feet of beach frontage, this lakefront cabin on Carnelian Bay offers a charming timeless opportunity to own your very own slice of Lake Tahoe history. Become a part of Tahoe’s history from this cabin, today, offered furnished and ready for your immediate enjoyment.

Anchoring the living room is a stone hearth with a mantle created from the rib a whaling ship dating back to the early 1800’s, recently found buried under San Francisco, a legacy piece with an incredible history. The ship was discovered in 2005 when developers began to excavate and conduct their studies for the site of the Rincon Tower in San Francisco. Numerous archeological finds were discovered, however chief amongst them were the remnants of a three-masted 100-foot ship. Analysis determined the ship to be the “CANDACE,” built in 1818 in Boston, Massachusetts. The Candace was a trading and whaling vessel, and is purported to have been one of the first American flag merchant ships to trade in the Pacific. On its last voyage, the Candace was badly damaged by the ice pack in the Arctic, and came limping into the San Francisco Bay on July 4, 1855, 165 years ago today. 

The Candace never sailed again and joined the hundreds of ships abandoned in the Bay due to the Gold Rush to the Sierra Nevadas, when ships had arrived in San Francisco transporting gold seekers, and could not leave without a crew or passengers to return with. The waterfront was referred to as a "forest of masts,"  clogged with abandoned tall-masted sailing ships. The Candace and countless other ships of the Gold Rush era, were partly dismantled and eventually buried under the growing new city -- forgotten for nearly 150 years, until now. 

It was at this same time that Lake Tahoe saw considerable development and impact due to the gold and silver rushes of the 1800’s. In 1861 Chambers Landing was settled by “Old John” Washington McKinney, established as the site of a hunting and fishing resort known as “Hunter’s Retreat.” The resort would consist of a main hotel with dining hall, twenty-five log cabins and numerous tents for the more adventurous guests. “Old John” offered sailing and fishing activities on the Lake as well as guided hunting trips into the forests beyond. He also constructed one of the first boathouses at Lake Tahoe, built in 1875, which doubled as a bar and clubhouse. The original pier stands today, a historical monument, and home to Chambers Landing’s infamous pier bar with its “Chambers Punches,” drawing customers by land and by water to indulge.  

This property offers you and your family the opportunity to escape to Tahoe, and make California’s history a part of your family legacy at Lake Tahoe. Chambers Landing offers a private pier, sandy beach, dedicated buoy for each homeowner, tennis, a swimming pool, fitness center, on-site restaurant and bar.

Chambers Landing, the beautiful site of 43 condominium residences situated on a gated 14-acre property on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, has a story steeped in Tahoe’s wild west history. It was during the mid-1800’s when “Old John” Washington McKinney explored the western shores of Tahoe and chose this site for his hunting and fishing resort,“Hunter’s Retreat.”  His resort would consist of a main hotel with dining hall, twenty-five log cabins and numerous tents for the more adventurous guests. Mark Twain stayed at the resort throughout the seasons during his forays at Lake Tahoe. “Old John” offered sailing and fishing activities on the Lake as well as guided hunting trips into the forests beyond. He also constructed one of the first boathouses at Lake Tahoe, built in 1875, which doubled as a bar and clubhouse. Today, this well known watering hole is known as the Chambers Landing Bar & Restaurant, drawing customers from “land and sea” to indulge in their signature drink, a “Chamber’s Punch.” All summer long avid patrons line the docks to participate in this seasonal ritual as did their forefathers aboard the “Steamer Tahoe.” Chambers Landing, steeped in tradition and history, can now be part of your family story as well.

Residence Twenty Two, with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a large den with wet bar, and covered parking is located on the lakefront within Chambers Landing with gorgeous lake views from every level. The residence is elegantly decorated to the highest degree of detail throughout.

Over three-quarters of a century ago, these lush landscaped grounds on Lake Tahoe provided the perfect setting from which wealthy industrialist Henry Kaiser would lavishly entertain his contemporaries from around the world.
