This is the piece of Carson Valley history you have been waiting for! Originally founded in 1915, this amazing estate on 2.56 water righted acres has been meticulously and painstakingly maintained. As soon as you drive through the electronic gate and up to the 3,600 square foot house, you will be transported to a different era - the tall white columns supporting the front porch, the green pasture, and lush fruit orchard harken back to a simpler time., Pulling around the circular driveway to the rear of the home, you are struck by the beautiful old-wood barn, originally built in 1915, and the first barn in the valley to be built on a permanent foundation. The views of the mountains are breathtaking, and as you gaze over the acres and acres of agricultural land bordering the home to the south and west, you get a glimpse of what the Carson Valley must have looked like to the original settlers. Between the barn and the main house sits the root/wine cellar, also built in 1915, and an attached enclosed sitting area, with amazing views. The original portion of the home, now utilized as an attached, but fully self-contained in-law quarters, was erected in 1915, and has the period details to prove it. Throughout the two bedrooms, one bathroom, full kitchen, living area, office, and two sun porches which comprise the in-law quarters, you will find original molding, door and cabinet hardware, a gorgeous claw foot tub, shiplap paneling, a gas log stove in the sitting area - the list goes on and on. The main home, attached to the in-law quarters by a hallway, was built in 1964, but has the advantages of a modern, open-concept floor plan. Downstairs, a great room containing the dining room, kitchen, and living room, ensures that the beautiful views are seen from every vantage point. Details like Corian countertops, custom Andersen windows, gas log fireplace, and powder room with a marble vanity combine modern functionality with old-world quality and craftsmanship. Upstairs, the 1,100 square foot master suite is a relaxing retreat, with a sitting area complete with fireplace, floor to ceiling Andersen windows, a private southwest facing balcony, large master bathroom, walk-in closet, and access to additional attic storage. However, the house is just the tip of the iceberg of what this property has to offer. Zoned A-19, every inch of the grounds have been thoughtfully utilized, and house a total of 5 outbuildings, 3 irrigated pastures, a fully-fenced garden area, orchard, horseshoe pit, endless lawns, and more beautiful views. The 1915 barn is the largest of the outbuildings, and details like the old timber planks and leaded glass windows make it feel like a museum dedicated to the old west, while the updated electricity, fully-finished art room, multiple storage rooms, workshop area, and covered implement storage ensure its continuing functionality. The fully finished chicken house (it’s too nice to call a coop!) is attached to a chicken run surrounded entirely by mesh, ensuring the safety of your animals from predators on land or in the sky. The detached garage has two car bays, and is extra deep. A shed off of the in-law quarters houses the back-up generator, completing the self-contained and self-sufficient feel of this gentleman’s ranch.
