This unique 5-acre retreat is brimming with charm, quality craftsmanship, and modern upgrades. Taken down to the studs in 2020, the home underwent a complete transformation—featuring a new roof, rebuilt deck (to current code), updated electrical and plumbing, and all-new systems throughout. Every improvement was permitted and completed by licensed contractors, ensuring peace of mind and top-notch quality. Though under 1,000 sq ft, the home lives large thanks to vaulted ceilings, efficient layout, and abundant natural light. Flat-textured walls in soothing Swiss Coffee are accented by custom woodwork and warm ceilings, creating a clean yet inviting atmosphere. Durable Hardie Plank siding offers lasting protection and can help keep fire insurance costs down. The custom kitchen is a showstopper, featuring soft-close, handcrafted wood cabinets by a local artisan, a deep farmhouse sink, and timeless natural finishes. The bathroom boasts a spacious, custom walk-in shower and thoughtful detailing throughout. Upstairs, the cozy bedroom feels like a forested treehouse with peaceful views all around. With two living areas—one on each level—there’s plenty of space to relax, entertain, or simply take in the surroundings. Recent upgrades include efficient windows, a wood-burning fireplace that heats the home with ease, and a natural spring-fed cistern system—just add a pump for added utility. The land has been selectively thinned over time, providing a tranquil, usable landscape while preserving natural privacy. From the moment you arrive, the setting speaks for itself. No immediate neighbors mean unmatched peace and quiet, yet the friendly local community is always nearby if needed. Ideally situated just an hour from Truckee and Reno, and only 10 minutes from the spectacular Lakes Basin and endless scenic trails, this property offers the perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility. Furniture may be included for the right price—just ask!
