Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park occupies the west shore of Lake Tahoe, 10 miles south of Tahoe City along Highway 89, and encompasses nearly two miles of lake frontage within nearly 2,000 acres of old-growth forest.

Hellman, designed by architect Walter Danforth Bliss. California acquired the property in 1965, and the mansion now serves as a museum and the backdrop for private events.
