The largest alpine lake in the US, straddling the states of California and Nevada, and in the shadows of the Sierra, Lake Tahoe is hardly a well-kept secret – and yet it remains one of the most exclusive corners of North America. Catch a glimpse of the emerald lake – although chances are you already have since it is the most photographed place in the country – and you can quickly understand why. From winter skiing to summer sailing, set against an endless backdrop of forests and mountains, this pocket of alpine paradise offers outdoor adventures in abundance. With the ski season currently in full swing, there’s no better time to call this coveted lakeside location home.
On the eastern slope of the Carson Range mountains, the residents of the private, gated community of Clear Creek in Lake Tahoe are as intent on preserving their natural surroundings as they are on enjoying them. With 2,136 spectacularly unspoiled acres of land – and that’s before counting the six-million acres of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest that encircles it – Clear Creek is dedicated to ensuring its promise of unrivaled privacy in Lake Tahoe will remain as such, forever.
It would be no surprise then to hear that homes in Clear Creek are equally built with sustainably in mind. None perhaps demonstrate this better than 3532 Knob Point Trail, Unit 108.

The five-bed residential is one of the highest-ever priced on the market in Clear Creek and comes supercharged with Tesla tech. It is one of the few homes in Nevada to be fitted with Tesla’s Solar Roof, Tesla Power Walls and a fully integrated solar and energy storage system – including generators and a battery-powered backup system. If that wasn’t enough Tesla to tickle your fancy, the developers have also included a Tesla Cybertruck – noted by the brand as “the most powerful tool we have built” – as part of the purchase price.
That Cybertruck will make light work of exploring the property’s sprawling outdoor footprint. With over 1,700 sq ft of patio space, the property is the perfect private oasis to embrace the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Whether you prefer to unwind and relax in the sun or entertain the masses, an inground swimming pool, fireplace, a built-in barbecue and a spacious jacuzzi that can accommodate over a dozen people ensures there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
