Sitting on a 1.1-acre property, the 8,500-sq-ft home includes seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, two dens, and an expansive open concept kitchen, living, and dining space. A games room entails full cabinetry, four televisions, and numerous beverage refrigerators, including a keg tap.

It’s for these reasons the home has been described as an “entertainer’s dream.”

Separate areas of the home create a guest wing, and a children and nanny’s wing. There are also two indoor fireplaces, and an outdoor fireplace.

It features high ceilings and a luxurious contemporary design, with large windows and outdoor spaces — including a private beach area and boat dock with boat and jet ski lifts — opening up unobstructed lake and mountain views.

The garage and driveway can fit a total of six vehicles.
