'Godfather Part II' Lake Tahoe Estate: $3.75M In Homewood

WOW House: The luxe condo is part of the exclusive Fleur Du Lac Estates, used as a backdrop in the classic Francis Ford Coppola film.

HOMEWOOD, CA – Delightfully recognizable to "Godfather" fans, this historical property not only boasts commanding views of Lake Tahoe and the mountains, but also has a saucy, silver-screen past as the "The Godfather Part Two" estate of Michael Corleone and ... who can forget? ... the site of brother Fredo's ill-fated fishing trip.

Reel-life aside, in today's real world this newly listed condominium, for sale at $3,749,000, is one of 22 residences that now comprise Fleur Du Lac Estates, a 15-acre enclave used in the movie and originally created in 1938 as a retreat for shipbuilder-industrialist Henry Kaiser, also regarded as the catalyst behind the Kaiser Permanente health system.

After a series of transitional uses, the property in the 1980s went through a remodeling of existing structures and the construction of 22 luxurious chateaux, according to historians.
