South East Real Estate and Home issued the following announcement on Sept. 30.
You can't help but wonder what Hoss and Little Joe would say about the sale of the site of TV's fictional Ponderosa Ranch for $38 million. It set the record for the highest-priced waterfront residential sale on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.
Now known as Sierra Sunset, the 24-acre property in Zephyr Cove was used as backdrop for the popular TV series "Bonanza," which aired from 1959 to 1973. You may remember the family riding horseback on the pine-forested property along the shores of the massive freshwater lake.
The property wasn't always a TV star. It was originally the site of the historic Bourne estate, named for Singer sewing machine heir Arthur Bourne. Not so coincidentally, the new owner was a childhood friend of the Bourne family. He spent summers at the beach and at the original home that existed before the construction of Sierra Sunset.
