INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Mike Love is selling his Incline Village mansion after owning it for more than four decades.
Sitting elevated above Lake Tahoe, the residence is nestled among granite outcroppings and pine trees on Fairview Blvd.
The Beach Boys’ co-founder, who is also a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, lived and created music in the abode, which once featured a fully integrated recording studio with views of Lake Tahoe.
“This is where the work happened, where songs took form, where a significant chapter of American music was created,” the property description says. “The good vibrations of that history are still present here.”
That space still retains the acoustic bones of the recording studio, including pitched ceilings and a walk-in closet that Love used as a control room.
“What is offered here is the chance to own a piece of American music history, set above one of the world’s most celebrated lakes.”
Other traces of Love, who practices meditation, are represented in the spiritual elements throughout the home, derived from eastern philosophy, including a hand-carved Ganesh at the entry, a koi pond at the base of a spiral staircase, and a celestial dome. Additionally, the front door was blessed by a temple priest and created by southern Indian temple artisans.
“These features reflect a commitment to spirituality and the vision of the home as a temple,” the description reads.
The almost 19,000-square-foot mansion sits on 2.5 acres. Love placed the surrounding six acres under conservation, preserving privacy and preventing development.
The mansion has 10 bedrooms, eight of which are en-suites with most having a private balcony. In addition to its lake view deck, the primary suite has its own wing, a fireplace and a private coffee bar.
Other features include a professional chef’s kitchen, private cinema, wine cellar, tasting room, gym, cedar sauna, steam room, as well as a jacuzzi and pool with lake views.
Most of the main-level living spaces, such as the great room, kitchen, and dining room, face the lake. Stone sourced from the property is used throughout the house.
According to Zillow, the mansion is currently the fourth-most-expensive property listed for sale in Lake Tahoe at $43 million.
