Ever dreamed of living like a Grammy-winning music legend? Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’ stunning Lake Tahoe compound is now up for grabs, offering an epic slice of lakeside luxury that’s part recording retreat, part personal paradise.

A Musical Sanctuary with Million-Dollar Views

Nestled in the exclusive Incline Village, this jaw-dropping property isn’t just a house, it’s a two-property compound that screams rock star opulence. Spanning over two acres, the properties are listed at a combined price of just under $22 million, featuring panoramic Lake Tahoe views that’ll make your Instagram followers seriously jealous.

The main estate at 708 Champagne Road, which Babyface owned from 1996 to 2013, is a European-inspired dream. Imagine rolling up a cobblestone driveway imported straight from Italy, surrounded by manicured gardens and a heart-shaped rose garden that sounds more like a music video set than a residential property.

More Than Just a Fancy Address

This isn’t your average Lake Tahoe real estate listing. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom main house boasts vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, and a chef’s kitchen that could rival any high-end restaurant. Compass agent Mary Kleingartner describes it as “a private European estate hidden in the trees,” with craftsmanship that’s becoming increasingly rare in modern construction.

The companion property at 714 Champagne Road offers its own set of luxuries, including a private theater, pool, separate pool house, and a bunk room. It’s essentially the ultimate weekend warrior’s dream, a place where luxury meets laid-back Lake Tahoe lifestyle.

A Legacy of Creativity and Comfort

For music fans and real estate enthusiasts alike, this compound represents more than just square footage. It’s a testament to Babyface’s creative spirit, a place where musical magic likely happened between those stunning lake views. Whether you’re a R&B fan, a Lake Tahoe enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates extraordinary real estate, this compound tells a story of artistry, privacy, and unparalleled mountain living.

So, got a cool $22 million burning a hole in your pocket? Your rock star fantasy awaits.
