About the Property
A World of its Own! Just 25 minutes from downtown Truckee, The Lodge at High Meadow Ranch is a remarkable retreat that breathes timelessness, authenticity, self-sufficiency, and luxury. Spanning 240 acres of pristine mountain meadows and forest, the property features aspen cathedrals, classic Sierra forestland, two creeks that flow year-round, Onion Creek and Cold Creek, and a profound expanse of mountain sky. At the heart of the property is the 9,700 square foot log cabin, custom built in 1989. The home is warm and grand, thoughtfully and artfully comprising 7 bedrooms, 5 ½ baths, 3 living rooms, a dining room with seating for 14, a library, a game room, a wine cellar, and an expansive deck which overlooks the one acre of lawn and 60 acres of private meadow. Family and friends can gather around the campfire across the lawn, connect with each other in the well-crafted interior spaces, or seek solitude in the cozy corners of the Lodge. The property is entirely off-grid, with an extensive infrastructure including an artesian well with pure mountain water, solar panels, and state of the art systems. Summer recreation includes a tennis court, sport court, trout fishing in Cold Stream and endless hiking through the meadows and forests that lead up to several local peaks with stunning views. The property is entirely surrounded by protected National Forest, which provides unlimited opportunity for outdoor adventure. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, backcountry skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. A 2,100 square foot equipment barn shelters a snowcat and snowmobiles and can house boats, trailers and all your mountain toys. The property is proximal to the great fishing at Jackson Meadows Reservoir and Weber Lake. The Lodge at High Meadow Ranch promises authentic, secluded mountain living, and yet, it is a quick and charming drive to the restaurants, shops, beaches, and ski resorts that invigorate the Tahoe basin.
