‘Jeopardy’ Host Alex Trebek Cuts Price on Lakefront Vacation Home

Answer: This 30-acre lakefront retreat on Lake Nacimiento in Paso Robles, CA, has just been reduced in price from $1,595,000 to $1,399,000.

Question: What is Alex Trebek‘s California vacation property?

Located near the Central Coast wine country, the lakeside property is about a 3.5-hour drive from Los Angeles. It’s anchored by a 2,595-square-foot, three-bedroom ranch house.

The home is naturally illuminated by an abundance of windows, many overlooking the lake, as well as skylights and clerestory windows. French doors and high, beamed ceilings also add to the spacious, airy feeling.

And there’s a bonus for the buyer—the venerable game show host will throw in the furniture! That’s right, all of the furniture you see in the photos is included, with the exception of the artwork and the personal possessions he’d like to keep.

And to sweeten the deal even further, Trebek is also including all of the tools in the 1,500-square-foot metal outbuilding. He’ll also toss in a pair of Ski-Doo snowmobiles and a pair of quad motor vehicles. Score!

Those Ski-Doo crafts, as well as any boat you’d care to bring with you, have easy access to the lake via a private ramp and a covered dock.

It seems that back at the turn of the century, the original developers offered Trebek the best lake frontage in the Ranchos del Lago project.

He “developed the property with great care and aesthetic,” writes agent Jim Irving in the listing.

And if you’re wondering, “What is Lake Nacimiento?” we’ll make it a true “Daily Double.” It’s an 18-mile-long lake originally designed to hold irrigation water and provide flood control, plus provide recreational opportunities for water sports such as water-skiing, wake-boarding, and wake-surfing. And let’s not rule out its relaxation potential—there are plenty of places just to quietly sit and enjoy the view.

Cue the thoughtful deliberation music, and write your final offer carefully but quickly. At the lower price, Trebek’s rustic retreat is sure to be snapped up.

Trebek, 78, has hosted “Jeopardy” for over three decades and is a nightly staple in living rooms across the country. In March, he announced he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but he finished out the most recent season of the popular trivia show. He plans to return to the show in September as he continues treatment and therapy.
