Single Family Residence In Truckee

Privacy Perfected - A Rare Northstar Retreat Hidden Among the Pines! Surrounded by towering pines and bordered by open space on three sides, this extensively remodeled Northstar retreat offers an extraordinary sense of privacy rarely found in today’s market. Hidden among the trees, the home blends timeless mountain architecture with refined modern living, creating a peaceful sanctuary where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony. Thoughtfully redesigned and meticulously maintained by the owner, a licensed General Contractor, every improvement reflects exceptional craftsmanship and intention. The result is a home that lives as beautifully as it looks, equally suited for quiet weekends, entertaining family and friends, or full-time mountain living. Vaulted cedar ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, and wide-plank hickory flooring fill the home with warmth and natural light. The open-concept floor plan flows effortlessly between the remodeled kitchen, dining area, and great room, creating inviting spaces that celebrate both everyday living and memorable gatherings. Custom alder millwork, designer lighting, heated tile flooring, beautifully remodeled baths, and modern metal railings introduce a refined contemporary aesthetic while honoring the timeless character of a classic Tahoe retreat. Perhaps the home’s most unforgettable feature is its enchanting treehouse setting. Elevated among towering pines and surrounded by protected open space, every room feels immersed in nature. Watch birds gather just outside the windows, wake to fresh snowfall drifting through the forest, or enjoy moonlit evenings beneath Tahoe’s remarkably dark skies. It’s a rare experience that creates a constant connection to the landscape in every season. The primary suite perfectly captures that feeling. Privately perched among the treetops, it offers a peaceful retreat unlike any traditional bedroom. Open your eyes to snow gently falling through the pines, sip your morning coffee surrounded by forest views, or step outside on a clear evening to enjoy meteor showers overhead. It is a space that transforms everyday moments into extraordinary memories. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Expansive Trex decks, multiple gathering spaces, a private Hot Springs spa, and sauna invite year-round enjoyment, while the surrounding forest creates exceptional privacy and tranquility. Direct trail connections from the property lead to Northstar Village, the Tahoe Mountain Trail (TMT) network, Big Springs Trail, Watkins Lake, and miles of hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and skiing—making it possible to enjoy year-round recreation right from your doorstep. Adding to the property’s distinctive character, the historic Oxen Run Trail, once traveled by oxen hauling timber for California’s early mining industry, winds just behind the home, offering a unique connection to Northstar’s rich mountain history. Beyond its beauty, the home has been thoughtfully upgraded with the systems and infrastructure that provide comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. Highlights include heated kitchen floors, custom bath vanities, Symphony automated blinds, a Lopi Evergreen wood stove, dual high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioning in the primary suite, a 75-gallon direct-vent water heater, EV charging, upgraded interior and exterior lighting, a reengineered driveway, professionally engineered heated rain gutters, and electric bear deterrent cables. Offered fully furnished and impeccably maintained, this is a rare turnkey opportunity to own one of Northstar’s most private and thoughtfully crafted mountain retreats, where timeless craftsmanship, exceptional privacy, and the Tahoe lifestyle come together in perfect harmony.
