Most of us have fantasized about our dream home over the years. Perhaps it's got a wine cellar, indoor pool, and gorgeous balcony - perfect for wine and cheese night. But if you're anything like me, movies will have given you more than a few ideas about what your dream property might look like.
Now, if that property has taken any inspiration from the stunning lake house from the Godfather 2, you're in luck because it's for sale!
Watch the trailer for the Godfather 2 below:Situated in California's breathtaking Lake Tahoe, it really is a property that movie dreams are made of, and it can be yours for a cool $5.5 million. A small price to pay for a dream home and cinematic history (in our opinion anyway).
This is listing from Sotheby's:
"Elegant Serenity on Lake Tahoe. Nestled within Fleur du Lac Estates, a gated 15-acre luxury development on Lake Tahoe's west shore with private marina and your personal boat slip, community amenities and concierge services, this 4,200+ sf corner residence offers 4 bedrooms, 5 baths plus a den, and just steps to the Lake with panoramic lake views.
"Turnkey and Furnished. This is the concierge life at Lake Tahoe. Arrive and enjoy; the details have been taken care of."
However, what that description doesn't tell you is that the property featured in a number of scenes from Francis Ford Coppola's Oscar winner, The Godfather II, back in 1974.
Watch it in the movie below:Now, take a look inside...
Further history on the property has also been provided by Curbed San Francisco:
"In 1935, industrialist Henry Kaiser (father of modern shipbuilding) built the 15-acre lakefront compound on Lake Tahoe's west shore. According to the realtor, a crew of 300 men worked eight-hour shifts around the clock to build Fleur de Lac (translating into 'flower of the lake' and named for Kaiser’s favorite hydroplane) in order to fulfill Kaiser's goal of completing the estate in just 30 days. A seemingly unfathomable feat in today’s red tape-saddled times."
Yes, you read that right. This stunning property was built in just a month.
