TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — A lakefront mansion built by a family that played a key role in the history of boating at Lake Tahoe before World War II has sold for $10 million.
The Sierra Sun reported Wednesday the 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home on Lake Tahoe's west shore sits on 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds with 160 feet of lake frontage, two double-boathouses, a pier and private harbor.
The name of the purchaser wasn't disclosed.
Built southwest of Tahoe City, California in 1936, it originally was owned by the family of Bert C. Scott, who co-founded the Hall-Scott Engine Co. in Berkeley, California in 1910.
The company was a leading manufacturer of water-cooled aircraft engines before World War I and produced axles for Ford's Model T through the mid-1920s. It also built industrial engines for fire engines, tractors and boats.
