A California mansion on Lake Tahoe made famous by The Godfather Part II is officially on the market for $5.5 million.

At Tahoe's water's edge, Fleur du Lac represented the film version of the Corleone-family and their move to Nevada  to sell their interests in their Las Vegas casinos as part of the plan to make the mob family more legitimate.

Actually located on the California side of the lake, it is now an exclusive development that was originally built in 1938 by 300 workers in just 29 days for industrialist Henry J. Kaiser.

Kaiser and his friends spent much time racing their boats in the lake and he named his enclave Fleur du Lac (Flower of the Lake) after his favorite racing boat. He built a number of the still-existing structures, club house, yacht club and office buildings.

Now a luxurious private resort, Fleur du Lac spans 15 acres with 22 private townhomes with the yacht club and marina open to all residents. In addition to tennis courts, there is an exercise facility with locker rooms and steam showers, heated pool and jacuzzi and a private beach.

The yacht club has a guest apartment named the Kaiser Suite and there is an outdoor terrace for scenic viewing, a bocce ball court and private marina with personal boat slips.

On-site concierge management oversees resort services and there is also a property vehicle and driver available.

Selling completely furnished, the home is represented by Katherina Haug, Tahoe City, CA and Craig Miller, Incline Village, NV, both of Sierra Sotheby's International Realty.
