Building Tranquility.

A grand Zephyr Cove property offers all the amenities for a lavish life.

At the height of activity, when building was in full swing, Tranquility it was not. It was a babel, a clamor of hammers, of buzz-saws and bulldozers. On some days over a three-and-a-half-year period, 150 workers spread through the compound, pounding nails in one building, raising rustic beams on another, excavating for a third, applying Montana moss stone and old-growth cedar shingles to a façade, installing Vermont slate roofing, fashioning custom copper filigrees.
