225 S Martin, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448

Description

Experience the grandeur of this extraordinary Tudor-style Tahoe castle, where Old World elegance meets modern luxury in a setting beyond compare. Offering sweeping, unobstructed southwest-facing lake views that stretch from the slopes of Heavenly Ski Resort to the North Shore of Lake Tahoe, this rare architectural treasure is perched on a premier cul-de-sac lot in Zephyr Heights — one of the most coveted neighborhoods on the Nevada side of the lake. Owner financing available for qualified applicants. Recently revitalized with extensive updates, including a brand-new roof, this stately residence invites you into nearly 5,800 square feet of refined mountain living, spread across multiple levels designed to inspire both grandeur and comfort. Step through the castle-style entry and be transported into a world of craftsmanship, featuring custom stonework, exposed beam ceilings, warm wood finishes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the lake like a living painting. The upper-level primary suite feels like a five-star retreat, offering two cozy fireplaces, central AC, a private office, oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-style bathroom that stuns — with a soaking tub set in a turreted alcove overlooking the water and a glass-enclosed shower with panoramic views. Just outside, a private deck offers a front-row seat to Tahoe's famed sunsets. Adjacent, a loft-style sixth guest suite includes its own en-suite bath — ideal for guests, in-laws, or a home office. The heart of the home — a chef's kitchen — has been thoughtfully updated with quartz countertops, two large center islands, new stainless steel appliances, and exquisite cabinetry. The adjacent octagonal formal dining room offers a dramatic yet intimate setting for up to eight guests, while the lakeview living room features a grand rock fireplace, large screen TV, built-in wet bar with quartz counters, and a sunken conversation pit that opens to an expansive outdoor deck. Downstairs, the amenities continue: a second full kitchen, a family room with space for games or media, a dedicated art studio, dry sauna, and a 300-bottle wine cellar. A game room with pool table and direct access to the spa patio creates the perfect après-ski gathering space. Three additional bedroom suites provide ultimate flexibility for multi-generational living, vacation hosting, or luxurious guest quarters. Outside, newly installed pavers, tiered stone patios, and professional landscaping complement the home's storybook architecture. Soak in the hot tub while taking in a view that rivals any five-star resort. Additional highlights include forced air heating, split AC units for individual comfort zones, a two-car garage with additional driveway parking, a private stone stairway leading to the lowest level, and a bonus off-street parking area for two more vehicles — rare in the hills of Tahoe. Tucked just minutes from the excitement of Stateline casinos, the world-class Edgewood Golf Resort, and the iconic beaches of Lake Tahoe's East Shore, this enchanting property offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and unmatched access. Whether you're seeking a luxurious full-time residence, an investment-grade vacation home, or a generational estate to pass down for years to come — this is your castle in the sky.
