Property Description

Tucked away at the end of a private driveway in the heart of Tahoe Donner, this custom mountain sanctuary perfectly balances rustic charm and modern sophistication. Inside you will find reclaimed wide-plank hardwood floors that add a warmth to the home. The great room and kitchen area have soaring vaulted wood ceilings as well. The level-entry layout features a spacious kitchen built for culinary adventures, complete with a large island, 42-inch Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge. Custom lighting throughout enhances every detail, while the great room has a Lopi wood stove framed by a stunning rock surround and a large sweeping back deck overlooking a lovely forested creek setting. The back of the property enjoys direct access to the Tahoe Donner Trails where you can hike for miles from your new home. The main-level primary suite is a private escape, offering a cozy gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and a secluded hot tub on the deck, your perfect retreat after a day spent exploring the great outdoors. Downstairs, discover three additional bedrooms, including a generously sized junior suite with another gas fireplace and a newly remodeled ensuite bath. There's also a wine room with its own wine fridge and storage for your special vintages. The bonus room is an entertainer's dream, newly outfitted with a built-in kitchenette (complete with a hammered copper sink, beverage cooler, dishwasher, and microwave), a pool table, surround sound audio system, and another stunning gas fireplace framed by an antique Sierra surround. Outside, the backyard is a private oasis. Listen to the soothing sounds of Alder Creek while enjoying barbecues on the expansive deck. Aspen trees surround the area, adding natural beauty and seclusion. From the satin Nickel fixtures to the crown molding in the downstairs bedrooms, every inch of this home reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless elegance. This Tahoe Donner retreat is more than a home, it's a lifestyle.
