Nestled in the wooded hills surrounding Lake Tahoe in Nevada, Summertide is a 5.5 acre estate which once belonged to famously reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes and, as such, offers the ideal family retreat with ultimate privacy. The property's main residence was built in 1934 and takes the form of a traditional log cabin, which has recently been sensitively renovated and refurbished into a modern home, while a guest cottage was added at the water's edge in 1940 bringing the total number of bedrooms to seven. The estate also boasts a detached four-car garage, extensive outdoor spaces including terraces, dining areas and children's play areas, a Jacuzzi and 150 metres of lake frontage with a pier, boat lift and mooring buoy facilities.

Summertide is listed for sale with John Leles for $14.5 million.
