Perched on a private 10.5+/- acre mountaintop in the Virginia Range of the Reno-Tahoe Basin, this lodge-style mountain retreat offers a rare blend of wide-open space and incredible 360 degree views, with the primary western view capturing Slide Mountain and Mt. Rose. The setting feels both remote and refined, with natural, groomed high-desert landscaping that complements the land. A solid wood front door opens to a dramatic interior centered on a grand, knotty-pine staircase and great room with 28-foot ceilings and a striking floor-to-ceiling wall of windows framing the mountain panorama. The open-concept design flows into a chef's kitchen with a Wolf all-gas range, KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer, a spacious walk-in pantry, and polished fixtures-perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. An old-western style bar and dining nook beneath the staircase add warmth and character. The home features a main-level guest suite with an en-suite bath, plus a convenient powder bath and laundry. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the great room and view-ideal as an office, media space, or lounge-highlighted by an antler-style chandelier and knotty-pine ceiling. The expansive primary suite captures west-facing sunsets with large windows and a slider that leads to a private deck plus a large walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom, oversized walk-in shower, large windows, and a soaring peaked ceiling. A third bedroom with generous closet space and abundant windows is served by a bright full guest bath with an east-facing view. For comfort and efficiency, the primary and both guest bedrooms include dedicated mini-split heating/cooling (newer installations), with ceiling fans throughout. The four-car garage is a standout-ideal for vehicles, toys, and projects with a flexible gym area, removable shelving, workshop power, and excellent lighting. The home also features radiant-floor heating powered by a premium Lochinvar boiler tuned for high altitude (approximately 6,500+ ft). Outside, an updated asphalt driveway (approx. 800 ft, per owner) leads to a peaceful entertaining area with a spacious concrete patio and fire-pit setting (negotiable), all positioned for spectacular west-facing sunsets. A Generac whole-house propane generator provides peace of mind. The property includes a corral (negotiable), reinforcing the home's "mountain retreat meets ranch living" feel-where deer, mustangs of the Virginia Range, and high-desert wildlife are part of everyday living. Propane service and a functioning well support the property; hauled water is commonly used in the area for household supply.
