Stateline holiday house: Skyland

It isn't often that we have the opportunity to offer a private residence for rent with such extraordinary amenities, views and charming interiors. The Villa at Skyland Bay is a luxury lakefront property overlooking the azure waters of Lake Tahoe, the snowcapped peaks of the Sierra Nevada range and the emerald cover of the great Western forests.

When you first walk into this beautiful home you can't help noticing that the lake is the dominant part of the décor. A large living/family room with fireplace and large windows is adjacent to the kitchen/dining area, all rooms draped in French Country motifs, all rooms on the first level bathed in sunlight and panoramic lake views. There is a large deck area accessible via sliders from the kitchen/dining area. During summer months the patio is the perfect place to spend the afternoons, away from the heat of the Southern sun. Access to the lake is immediate. The home has its own boat dock, boat lift and a spectacular swimming area ringed by huge boulders emerging from the lake. This part of the home is sheltered from the westerly summer winds and thus an ideal place for enjoying calm waters. Swim or paddle to your heart's content. Bring your boat or sea-doos. You can fish from the pier; just make sure you have a current license.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a family room as well as three baths. Another fireplace. The master suite has a jetted tub. Outside on the deck, overlooking the lake there is large hot tub.

The home sits on a cul de sac surrounded by multi-million dollar properties. It also has access to a Skyland Homeowner Beach across the street where young children can swim safely and play in the sand.

The home is located in Skyland, five miles from the Casinos at Stateline and the Heavenly Gondola. Just 17 Miles to all the shopping areas in Carson City and 48 miles from the Reno Airport.
