Location: Glenbrook, Nev. Price: $24,995,000 The Skinny: Named Wavoka after \"mid 19th century Northern Paiute mystic who pronounced a life of harmony, peace, and truth,\" this waterfront mansion on Lake Tahoe looks more like an alien spaceship than a house and boasts a price to match at almost $25M. Built in 2001 to designs by architect Theodore Brown, the five-bedroom, seven-bath spread measures 9,200 square feet and features a waterfront boathouse, swimming pool, and an angular design that mixes Frank Lloyd Wright and futurism. The house was commissioned by the late casino executive William Ledbetter, who managed the Harveys Lake Tahoe hotel for many years and whose love for Native American culture was reflected in his home. Set on 2.73 waterfront acres, Wavoka, with its private beach and views of the lake and Sierra Nevada mountains, is one of the area's most unique estates. 1192 US Highway 50 [Zillow] <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
