This Truckee Luxury Home on 5 acres with views of Castle Peak is a rare offering in the Sugar Pine Estate subdivision located in Truckee Real Estate CA.
The current owners have lovingly created a phenomenal mountain retreat on the forested 5 acre lot with treed and mountain views. When they bought the property, they first built what is now the two bedroom guest house. It is approximately 1200 sq.ft. with 400 sq.ft. storage atop the 3 car garage. They lived there while contemplating where on the grounds to build the main home. They watched the sunlight play through the trees in all seasons, gauged the snow load areas, and assessed the best situation for maximizing views. Then over the course of three years, they built their masterpiece.
Set among now mature landscaping offering color all season long, the home is placed to maximize the views and setting. The home was architecturally styled to highlight its structural members like rafters, beams, joists and posts. Some of the beams/posts used were actually milled on the property from trees that had to be removed for the build. It is a light filled space. The sun pours in to the house during the winter but the wide eaves keep the direct sun out during the summer months until it sets and shoots itself across the length of the home which make the light into the home truly breathtaking.
The main home is 6439 square feet with four bedrooms, two of them Masters, and a total of five full baths. There is a media and game room with a pool table and tavern style bar area, perfect for gatherings of friends or family. There is also an exercise room, wine room and a rec room.
The interior detail is replete with exposed red-brown wood elements that give the overall light a warm hue and secure feeling. Natural elements abound within to fully complete the effect of a communion with nature and provide a deeply transcendent feeling. The floors are of multi-colored slate, stained concrete, cork and Brazilian cherry. Cherry cabinets pick up the warm tones of the granite counters. The baths are tiled in marble & travertine. There is custom hand-forged metal work throughout.
This is a home in the truest sense of the word, yet it is a commanding spot for large scale entertaining, as well. The owners have hosted two weddings on the property and numerous events for a local non-profit organization. The acoustics are wonderful for live music and there is gathering space for many people without sacrificing intimacy and comfort.
Civilization seems far away, but it’s really not. It’s just minutes to the charming, historic downtown of Truckee with the finest in shopping and dining. Just a quick car ride and you’ll be to the slopes within minutes. There is almost direct access to Highway 80 for easy access to Reno or the Sacramento/Bay area. Yet the property is secluded and quiet. There’s no need for curtains because you can’t see your neighbor’s house, but they might come ring your doorbell for a visit, or your kids will play together. It is the kind of neighborhood people dream of raising a family in – or retiring to. The tranquil forested location offers the best life has to offer. Hike from the home in any direction or snuggle before the massive hearth and fire, watching the snowflakes lightly fall. With backdoor access to acres of national forest and some of the best hiking, biking cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and running trails Truckee has to offer, you can’t go wrong having a home here.
As an added bonus, the owners will also provide membership to the Tahoe Mountain Club amenities with the purchase of the home, so you can enjoy one of North Lake Tahoe’s premier amenities clubs with ski valet at Northstar real estate, golf at Grays Crossing Real Estate or Old Greenwood Real Estate, spa and workout facilities, exercise classes, and a swim and tennis club, and more.
Life is to be well lived and nowhere more so than in this luxurious mountain estate.
