Location: Lake Tahoe, California
Price: $3.575 million
Sitting at the base of a mountain in the shade of towering trees, this modern residence emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, entertaining and exploration in the serene resort community of Northstar at Lake Tahoe.
"We built these places to take advantage of two things: One, the views, and two, indoor-outdoor living space," said Ron Barnes, senior strategist of Mountainside Partners, the home’s developer. The residence includes large windows and folding doors that both look out onto the scenic setting and also open up to it, providing 1,614-square feet of outdoor space. The home’s layout also encourages entertaining by placing the primary bedrooms on the upper-floor where the kitchen, dining room and living room seamlessly move out to the residence’s deck and balcony.

Officially dubbed one of Mountainside’s five "Boulders" residences, the home is a part of a tight-knit enclave that allows homeowners to ski in and out of their door, while also offering what Mr. Barnes calls "experiential amenities," including rustic cabins, communal spaces and even an acre-sized playground for kids complete with stages, suspension-bridges and logs.
This emphasis on playing, exploring and socializing lead back to the resort’s larger ethos, Barnes noted. "It’s all about trying to help people connect [to others] and back to themselves," he said, by "disconnecting" from the hectic distractions of modern life and "reconnecting with their families" and nature.
