The former home of casino resort owner and hotelier Steve Wynn recently sold for $68 million, making it the most expensive real estate transaction in Lake Tahoe.
The property at 1041 Lakeshore Boulevard, known as Old Forge Wynne Estate, encompasses more than 14,000 sq. ft. and rests on five acres of gated lakefront property. Wynne built his haven in 1994; it has changed hands thrice in the intervening years.
The architecture was carefully planned to ensure as many water views as possible. The placement of the windows in the living room, for example, brings the stunning outdoor beauty inside.
The cozier family room, with its impressive but welcoming fireplace, uses a wrap-around approach to keep the overall feel airy and open.
The island kitchen has an unexpected benefit architected into it: patio access and the fresh-air views it enables.
Adjacent to that — and sharing the fantastic patio — is the master suite.
Because snacks and entertainment go hand-in-hand, the home’s game room has its own kitchen, made stylishly distinct by an amber marble countertop and matching backsplash.
That same swirled marble is used as an accent piece in the wine room, making it as beautiful as it is functional.
It’s no surprise that a hotelier would insist on a totally luxurious bedroom. This one—actually not the master but for guests—is simultaneously spacious and homey.
Here’s a second en suite for guests; its décor provides a unique surrounding from the other sleeping quarters in the estate.
Wynn’s fortune resulted from being financially fit. His Lake Tahoe home was designed with an upscale spot to keep physically fit.
After a workout, a relaxing rubdown is a must before returning to the pressures of the workday. The massage room is just what a harried executive needs.
Most of the rooms designed at the rear of the home were strategically placed to maximize the view, evident here.
The property’s location on Lake Tahoe gives it a gorgeous setting year round.
