Built in 2016, the reimagined Klaussen Cabin is an architectural jewel set in the highly sought-after west end of Olympic Valley, with views of the legendary slopes of Palisades Tahoe. This luxury ski retreat showcases exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful detailing, and a respectful tribute to the vision of renowned architect Henrik Bull. The original cabin, constructed prior to the 1960 Winter Olympics, was Bull’s first independent project and was prominently featured in the May 1958 issue of Sunset Magazine as the “Sunset Idea Cabin,” a milestone that helped propel his distinguished career. Although structural issues required the original home to be removed, the owners and their talented construction team meticulously rebuilt, modernized, and re-created the cabin with remarkable fidelity. The home is composed of three striking prow-front volumes housing the kitchen and dining area, the living room, and the family room. These inspired spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing the surrounding landscape, while the handkerchief-style rooflines add a signature Bull architectural flourish. The residence offers four beautiful bedrooms—most with balcony or patio access—including a private primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower, as well as a walk-in closet. One of the additional bedrooms includes an en-suite bath, while the remaining two are served by conveniently located hallway bathrooms. In addition to four full baths, there are two powder rooms in the living and family areas, each with custom finishes and reclaimed wood accents. Reclaimed siding from the original cabin has been artfully integrated throughout the home, adding warmth, character, and a tangible link to Bull’s legacy. This reclaimed timber also graces the front entry and garage doors, enhancing the home’s distinctive appeal. Beyond its striking aesthetics, this property is designed for year-round comfort, featuring high-efficiency in-floor hydronic heating and central air conditioning for warm summer days. While Olympic Valley is home to many exceptional residences, this property stands out as a quintessential example of midcentury modern resort architecture—masterfully executed and like new. Positioned in the desirable West End neighborhood, the cabin is just minutes from the Village, restaurants, shopping, and world-class skiing. With its architectural pedigree, prime location, and thoughtful reconstruction, this home represents the pinnacle of Lake Tahoe real estate. Opportunities of this caliber are rare, and we hope you enjoy experiencing this extraordinary home.
