Grand piano, ski boat part of $49 million price tag for elegant Tahoe mansion. See it

A Lake Tahoe mansion — which comes with a large section of water frontage, a ski boat and nearly every other amenity one might seek in a home — has hit the market for $49 million, making it one of the most expensive listings in the area.

“The most notable feature of this home is the rare opportunity to own 150 feet of lakefront property, with a natural, year-round stream running through it,” said listing agent Tracey Allyn Cutler of Corcoran Global Living in an email. “There are a very limited number of coveted lakefront homes that include piers and direct waterfront access. This home allows its owners to enjoy the sparkling lake and majestic mountain views from all main living spaces.”

Also, Cutler said, the mature perennial gardens, shared pier, 28-foot Cobalt boat, boat lift and buoy “make this a unique package.”

Built in 2006, the elegant residence sits on 1.2 acres with 150-feet of lake frontage. Built in 2006, the four-bedroom, six-bath estate spans 11,843 square feet with a custom 35-foot wood-beamed ceiling in the great room, grand chandeliers, an indoor fountain and views of the lake from nearly every room.

Dean Meiling, a retired managing director at PIMCO, and Madylon Meiling, founder for Classical Tahoe, own the estate at 859 Lakeshore Boulevard in Incline Village, Nevada, according to Corcoran Global Living. Both have been active in the community. Madylon Meiling founded Classical Tahoe over 10 years ago as “a world-class celebration of arts.”

“While they are hesitant to leave the beautiful village of Incline, they have decided to move closer to their children and grandchildren,” Cutler said. “As Dean and Madylon close this chapter of their lives, they hope it creates new adventures for themselves and opens new, treasured opportunities for the lucky purchasers of this impeccable lifestyle.”

The home also features a 1,200-bottle wine cellar, seven-car garage with cove lighting and no interior columns and a heated driveway. There’s a professionally equipped kitchen, home theater and exercise room. Besides the Cobalt boat, the sellers are throwing in a grand piano as part of the deal.

“This is an ideal place to display classic cars, host parties, or provide an indoor playground for kids,” Cutler said. “This estate has been a beloved host site for elegant lakeside weddings and professional concert events. No expense was spared in building this pristine home. “

The property was listed in 2020 for $44 million, according to realtor.com, before being removed from the market and relisted at the beginning of October 2021.
