About This Home
As of May 2026Framed by the rolling Sierra Nevada foothills, this extraordinary estate on a private lake unveils a setting of rare beauty and quiet grandeur. Upon arrival, the view is immediate and unforgettable, your gaze drawn through architecturally striking windows that perfectly frame the shimmering lake beyond. Inside, soaring ceilings with exposed wood beams and a dramatic fireplace create a warm yet impressive gathering space, designed for both intimate moments and lively entertaining. The generously scaled kitchen is equally suited for culinary creativity and connection, flowing seamlessly into a sunlit breakfast nook where walls of glass invite the outdoors in. Here, mornings linger a little longer with coffee in hand, as birds settle on the lake's small island just beyond your window. The primary suite offers a private retreat, complete with an expansive wraparound closet and a sense of peaceful seclusion. Additional bedrooms are thoughtfully designed, featuring spacious layouts, distinctive ceiling lines, and walk-in closets. Dual laundry rooms and a dedicated mudroom add effortless functionality to everyday living. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home offers a relaxed game and billiards lounge, along with a separate media room equipped with a projector, ideal for movie nights or game-day gatherings. Outdoors, wraparound porches and patios extend the living experience, leading to beautifully landscaped grounds where a pool and spa are nestled among blooming gardens and open hillside views. A well-appointed guest residence sits gracefully within the courtyard, offering a full kitchen, full laundry, and its own firepit patio, perfect for hosting extended family or long-term guests in complete comfort. Comprising four separate parcels totaling approximately 171 acres of usable land, the estate offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and versatility. A quiet bench beneath the oaks at the lake's edge provides a moment of stillness, an invitation to pause, reflect, and take in the extraordinary surroundings. Just a short drive from the historic charm of Grass Valley and Nevada City, this is more than a home; it is a legacy property of exceptional caliber. Opportunities of this magnitude are exceedingly rare and must be experienced to fully appreciate the lifestyle they offer.
