Tucked up into the Sierra Nevada area and situated on a bluff on eight acres overlooking the Truckee River valley, is this five-bedroom property.
The home is surrounded by a mountain meadow and the abundance of land offers plenty of space for nature and privacy.
The interior design was inspired by the mountain estates of Southern France. The eight-foot wide European styled front door opens to massive spaces for entertaining. The antique hand forged ironwork, large timber ceiling support beams and scale of the home all contribute to the dramatic expanse.
A floor-to-ceiling wall of windows brings the views into the living and dining room space complimented by a towering two sided artisan stone fireplace with a monolithic mantle. The kitchen offers a separate cooking, prep and cleaning area in addition to the back pantry and prep area.
On the second level, the cozy luxurious master suite is a world unto itself offering a tranquil two sided fireplace, separate shower and tub overlooking the canyon. There is also a quiet niche to practice yoga and meditation.
The outdoor living space includes an open fireplace on one side of the patio and a barbeque enclosure on the adjacent side with a sprawling green lush lawn accenting the sweeping river canyon.
This property is listed for $2.999 million with Chase International and is showcased by Luxury Portfolio.
