The Lake Tahoe basin was formed by a combination of glaciers, an ancient volcano and fractures in the earth's crust that created the lake area and the surrounding mountains. Today, the lake forms part of the California – Nevada border with about two-thirds in California and one-third in Nevada. It is the largest alpine lake in North America with enough water to cover the entire state of California four inches deep. Mansions of celebrities and dot-com moguls are spread along the shoreline with Incline Village being one of the most popular enclaves on the north side of the lake in tax friendly Nevada. From snow skiing to water skiing and from nearby casinos and fine dining, the region can be enjoyed year round.

One of the most luxurious mansions located in Incline Village was built for Commerce One co-founder Tom Gonzales - one of the 1990's dot-com pioneers. Mr. Gonzales started buying Lake Tahoe lots in 1999, which included eight homes and eventually accumulating over 3.6 acres and 230 feet of shoreline. He tore down five of the homes, kept three and added a two-level, 12,000 square foot, 30-car collector's carriage house garage for his exotic cars and motorcycles. The garage can accommodate up to nine parked buses in the underground level. The vehicles are moved between levels via a 12 x 60 foot elevator with a 70,000 lb. lift.

The entire 17,607 square foot Sierra Star compound with nine bedrooms and ten bathrooms is under a canopy of aspen, maple and pine trees connected through lake views, walking trails and a 90,000-gallon man-made waterfall. In addition to the Carriage House, the collection includes a 4,277 square foot Park ViewHouse with 29 feet of lake shoreline; the Main House with one acre, 10,695 square feet, 160 feet of lakefront and seven bedrooms; the Lakeview House with 63 feet of lake frontage; and the lake lot with 100 feet of sandy beach and a private pier. For more information.

Sierra Star can be purchased in four separate parcels or $28,500,000 for the entire estate.
