You’re looking at the current priciest listing in the state of Nevada.

On the shores of Lake Tahoe, with a private sandy beach (rare because most of them are rocky), there’s an ultra-private French manor-style home filled with lavish imported materials.

Robb Report has dubbed it the home of the week, on sale for an eye-watering $100 million, or roughly R1,6 billion.

Charles Bluth and his wife Cindy bought the property in 2000, pouring in all their love, care, and extra pocket money to make it their dream home:

Charles is the owner of Bluth Development and has built high-end homes for more than 50 years. His family have been living in this home since construction was finished in 2004:

“This is a classic French manor,” Bluth says of his home, which is listed for $100 million off the MLS. “I make sure when I build a home of this nature that I pay attention to the classic architectural look and feel. For example, the ceilings are all 10-feet high; the entry is 25-feet high with a double stairwell; the ceiling is hand-painted on linen; the entryway has 1,000-pound pillars; and the main home’s exterior stone is imported from Lake Champlain in upstate New York.”

On the four-acre property, you will find the main residence, two guest cottages, a greenhouse, tea house, koi pond, waterfall, lawns, and a Zen garden:

There’s also a substantial private marina with 12 boat slips:

The main residence has four bedrooms, including a massive primary suite with a fireplace inspired by the Palace of Versailles:

The homeowners are also treated with a gourmet kitchen, a gym, a wine cellar with room for 2 500 bottles, a movie theatre, and a lower level for entertaining:

…The theatre was inspired by an old theatre on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, with an Egyptian look and fixtures from Spain, while the limestone cellar features an etched door of angels and cherubs—elements his wife loves. His wife also created a massive kitchen so that when they entertained, five people could prepare food comfortably.

You might think the greenhouse with a jacuzzi is the best part:

“There’s nothing like getting in the Jacuzzi with a glass of wine during a winter storm and watching the snow come down,” he says.

But actually, the best part might just be the stunning views of the lake and mountains from almost every room:

Not much beats a good view.
