After more than four decades living above Lake Tahoe’s North Shore, Beach Boys co-founder and longtime Incline Village resident Mike Love and his wife, Jacquelyne, are putting their fabulous estate on the market for $43 million.
The mansion at 969 Fairview Blvd. spans 18,922 square feet with 10 bedrooms, 12 full baths and three half baths, set on 2.5 acres. The listing agent is Jeannette Harpole of Habitat Nevada with Keller Williams Realty.
From the street or the lake, the estate reads as a private compound tucked into the hillside, surrounded by granite and tall pines. Up close, it’s a purpose-built retreat designed to unleash creativity.
Inside, the home leans into a second identity: part residence, part sanctuary. Eastern spiritual elements appear throughout — from statuary to a celestial dome ceiling — and the entry is marked by craftsmanship that’s meant to be more than decorative. The listing materials describe a hand-carved 10-inch solid wood front door with a Ganesha figure that was commissioned by Love and created by southern Indian temple artisans, then blessed by a temple priest.
The main living spaces are oriented toward the lake, where floor-to-ceiling glass and retractable doors open to terraces that turn the view into a constant companion. A two-story river rock fireplace anchors the great room, with additional details — parquet flooring, chandeliers, multiple gathering areas — signaling that the home has been used for hosting on a scale that matches its footprint.
The lower level adds the kind of amenities expected at this price point, including a private cinema and a wine cellar with a backlit agate ceiling.
“Throughout their time in Tahoe, the home functioned as both a residence and a creative environment,” the property listing states.
That creative history of the residence shows up in a room that once operated as a fully integrated recording studio. Instead of being stripped away for resale, the space has been reimagined while keeping the bones that made it functional: acoustic considerations, pitched ceilings and infrastructure that still suggests what it was built to do.
The estate’s setting has also been intentionally protected. Surrounding land — six acres placed into conservation by the family — helps lock in the feeling that the home sits in its own pocket of forest and stone. It’s not just privacy in the celebrity sense, but privacy in the Tahoe sense: keeping the horizon clean, keeping the pines, keeping the silence.
Outside, multiple decks and terraces at different levels are oriented toward the lake and mountains. The grounds are highlighted by:
- A pool and 10-person hot tub with views;
- Custom ice-skating rink on the upper lawn;
- Custom trampoline;
- Playground;
- Decks with snow-melt systems;
- Outdoor kitchen;
- Caretaker’s house;
- Extra deep 3-car garage with bike racks, ski and snowboard storage, built-in fridge and workbench.
Still, the most compelling feature may be the idea that the house holds a specific kind of history — not just famous ownership, but famous work done in place. As the property description puts it: “This is a space where music was made into song. The good vibration of that history remains.”
The Beach Boys became known for surf-rock hits like “Good Vibrations” and “California Girls.”
