Tranquility
This expansive and extraordinary home is wonderfully built. It is one that you would only think to see in a movie or even in your own dreams. When looking at this house you can’t help but wonder how many famous and wonderful things could have happened here?
Home of the co-founder of Tommy Hilfiger, Tranquility is Lake Tahoe’s most prestigious property. It was held in the same family for over 70 years and briefly owned by entertainer Wayne Newton, Tranquility evolved to its present form in 2000.
Tranquility is a combination of balance, harmony, elegance and alpine spirit. Sequestered in a pine and aspen forest with 210 acres of magical seclusion, Tranquility is the largest private landholding at Lake Tahoe.
The centerpiece of the property is Lake Tranquility, a serene private lake that is stocked with brown trout. Complementing the grand main residence with over 20,000 square feet of quiet elegance is a grand staircase that is a replica of the staircase built in the S.S. Titanic.
The welcoming cigar lounge is fashioned after a lounge in the St. Regis Hotel, and the library is inspired by the New York City Public Library. Sumptuous textiles, distinctive porcelains, and oil paintings in original carved-wood frames are both coveted and collected.
The conservatory, accessed by an underground passage, and featuring an indoor glass mosaic swimming pool and spa, poolside bar and exercise facilities, overlooks the lake. Other buildings around Lake Tranquility include the guest residence, the art studio, and the boat house pavilion, perfect for intimate gatherings on the shore of Lake Tranquility.
The property also features a gymnasium with basketball court, stable, and separate residence quarters for guest and staff. Experts and duffers alike will enjoy the challenge of Tranquility’s two, over-the-water, par-three golf holes.
The grounds and gardens provide a lavish setting to the estate yet meandering pathways and forest trails are Mother Nature at her best. The panoramic views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada are breathtaking.
