Wovoka is spectacular estate set along the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe’s East Shore and named after the Northern Paiute leader born in Nevada in 1856 and credited with developing the tribal Ghost Dance across the west. In keeping with the native culture, this lakeside residence incorporates and embraces natural elements reflecting peace and harmony. Truly one of a kind, Wovoka is an architecturally acclaimed property blending extensive custom woodwork, angled teak windows and doors, massive scale timbers, textured surfaces and stone reflecting the natural rugged beauty of its surroundings. The technical complexity and skill required to complete this home was at the very highest level of the trades. The property was painstakingly designed and constructed over 17 years, with each and every minute detail considered. For example, according to the architect, copper was intentionally chosen due to its natural ability to transition in harmony with the landscape and the seasons. Over time, copper transforms from a metallic reddish orange to a penny-brown to a verdigris-green that matches, in turn, the sunlight, tree trunks and foliage. The copper work at Wovoka was hand forged and used strategically. The main house is enveloped by a copper roof, atop the chimney is a nine-foot copper finial designed in the angular Wovoka motif, the teak front door is surrounded by inlaid copper panels and is topped by a copper-framed window, custom copper panel garage doors with overlapping batten details and colored-glass diamond windows provide a rich and long lasting facade. 

The exterior setting is simply exquisite. An elaborately gated entrance leads to a private drive that meanders down lavishly landscaped gardens welcoming guests with a beautiful waterfall, creek and pond. Stone walkways lead guests to a grand, lakeside patio with a salt-water infinity edge pool, built-in bar-b-que and sandy cove protected by a breakwater jetty. An expanisve sun deck above the boat house has built-in heaters for evening relaxation and comfortable patio furnishings. The impressive 535 square foot boat house with Wovoka expertly carved into the stone distinguishes this home from all other lakefront properties in Lake Tahoe. 

Inside the main house, guests are treated to three geometrically stunning bedrooms suites. The primary suite offers "his and her's" bathrooms and closets, a cozy sitting area in front of a soaring stone gas fireplace and a custom door leading to the lake. A media room, gourmet kitchen with a butler's pantry, an open dining area, a family room with a TV / fireplace / foosball table, a great room with a massive, custom stone fireplace and 19-foot floor-to-ceiling windows framing panoramic views of the lake round out the main house.  A lakeside cottage offers a king bed, bathroom, kitchen and living area. The tower residence attached to the garage with a separate entrance has two-stories of living space, one bedroom, kitchenette and full bathroom.

The garage features six separate bays, including a mechanical systems area, refrigerator and a half bath, while the property boasts a whole-house generator, sprinkler system, and water intake from Lake Tahoe. A smart home system is incorporated within the estate. Lastly, the 16-inch concrete insulated walls, radiant heated stone floors, native granite aggregate, a "Totem Wet Bar" and wall hung bookcases and shelves of teak and glass, custom cabinetry in Western Red Cedar with special detailing, back lit wall hangings, etched designs in lighted mirrors, and hand hewn logs are just a few of the finer points that will carry the spirit of the house for generations to come.
