An alpine residence above one of the most storied lakes in the American West.

Overview
Bear Claw stands among tall pines with a commanding view of Lake Tahoe below. Designed for four-season living, the residence is as suited to bluebird ski mornings as it is to long, quiet summers on the water.
A private ski room, radiant stone floors, and a two-story great room organized around a monumental hearth make it the kind of home that gathers a family — and holds them in place through weather.
Architecture
Grounded in place.
Contemporary mountain modern — reclaimed timber, hand-cut Sierra granite, blackened steel, and expansive glass framing the lake and the peaks that guard it.
Interior Design
Warm. Restrained. Considered.
Alpaca throws, sculptural lighting, and a curated collection of contemporary Western art. Warm at the edges, quiet at the center.
Amenities
Every detail, attended to.
