In 1979, Beach Boys star Mike Love bought a 2.5-acre Lake Tahoe plot for $435,000; 47 years later, the nearly 19,000-sq-ft mansion he built on it is up for $43 million, with six surrounding acres permanently protected

Beach Boys co-founder and lead singer Mike Love has put his sprawling Lake Tahoe estate on the market for $43 million, ending more than four decades of family ownership. The 83-year-old musician bought the 2.5-acre hillside property in 1979 for $435,000. Over the years, Love and his wife, Jacquelyne, transformed it into an 18,922-square-foot compound designed as both a family home and a creative retreat.

Located at 969 Fairview Boulevard in Incline Village on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, the property is listed for nearly 99 times the couple’s original purchase price for the undeveloped land.
