High Camp | 1455 North Lake Boulevard, Tahoe City
High Camp wasn’t built to sit on the land. It was built to become part of it.
Perched among towering granite boulders above Tahoe City, High Camp is as much an architectural experience as it is a home. Designed and built by renowned architect Richard Whitaker as his own residence, every line embraces the landscape rather than competing with it. A beautifully crafted stairway becomes part of the journey, revealing a little more of Lake Tahoe with every step, while thoughtfully positioned windows frame the surrounding landscape with intention, turning each view into a new perspective on Tahoe.
Morning coffee above the trees. Afternoons on the trail or the lake. Evenings spent entertaining friends while the changing light transforms the lake below.
A detached studio above the garage provides a private retreat for guests, a quiet workspace, or the freedom to make it entirely your own.
Just moments from Tahoe City’s waterfront, restaurants, beaches, marinas, and the adventures that define Tahoe. High Camp, elevated above the ordinary.
