INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. \u2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Mike Love is selling his Incline Village mansion after owning it for more than four decades. <\/p>\n

Sitting elevated above Lake Tahoe, the residence is nestled among granite outcroppings and pine trees on Fairview Blvd.<\/p>\n

The Beach Boys\u2019 co-founder, who is also a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, lived and created music in the abode, which once featured a fully integrated recording studio with views of Lake Tahoe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is where the work happened, where songs took form, where a significant chapter of American music was created,\u201d the property description says. \u201cThe good vibrations of that history are still present here.\u201d<\/p>\n

That space still retains the acoustic bones of the recording studio, including pitched ceilings and a walk-in closet that Love used as a control room. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is offered here is the chance to own a piece of American music history, set above one of the world\u2019s most celebrated lakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other traces of Love, who practices meditation, are represented in the spiritual elements throughout the home, derived from eastern philosophy, including a hand-carved Ganesh at the entry, a koi pond at the base of a spiral staircase, and a celestial dome. Additionally, the front door was blessed by a temple priest and created by southern Indian temple artisans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese features re\ufb02ect a commitment to spirituality and the vision of the home as a temple,\u201d the description reads. <\/p>\n

The almost 19,000-square-foot mansion sits on 2.5 acres. Love placed the surrounding six acres under conservation, preserving privacy and preventing development.<\/p>\n

The mansion has 10 bedrooms, eight of which are en-suites with most having a private balcony. In addition to its lake view deck, the primary suite has its own wing, a fireplace and a private coffee bar.<\/p>\n

Other features include a professional chef\u2019s kitchen, private cinema, wine cellar, tasting room, gym, cedar sauna, steam room, as well as a jacuzzi and pool with lake views. <\/p>\n

Most of the main-level living spaces, such as the great room, kitchen, and dining room, face the lake. Stone sourced from the property is used throughout the house. <\/p>\n

According to Zillow, the mansion is currently the fourth-most-expensive property listed for sale in Lake Tahoe at $43 million. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beach Boys’ co-founder, Mike Love, is selling his Tahoe mansion.Provided INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. \u2013 Rock and Roll Hall…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":768339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136],"class_list":["post-768338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/768339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
