About This Home
Welcome to 16490 Robertson Road, a beautifully updated mountain retreat tucked away on over five acres in the highly desirable Russell Valley community outside of Truckee. This ranch-style home has been thoughtfully designed with comfort, functionality, and natural beauty in mind, offering a lifestyle that blends serenity, privacy and adventure. The single-level layout features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious den plus a large bonus room that can be a rec room, workshop, studio or gym--so many possibilities! Tall ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, airy feel, while warm, wide-plank wood flooring adds to the home’s inviting character. The kitchen flows easily into the spacious great room, where large windows frame the surrounding forest and bring the outdoors in. Step outside to enjoy the expansive deck, unwind in the hot tub, gather around the outdoor gas firepit, or simply take in the sweeping forest views. The property backs directly to 20 acres of US Forest Service land, providing a rare sense of privacy and uninterrupted access to the outdoors. Trail loops extend directly from the property, allowing you to enjoy horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing right from your doorstep. Russell Valley is known for its peaceful setting, removed from the bustle of downtown yet only a short drive away when you want dining, shopping, or entertainment. For equestrian enthusiasts, the property is fully equipped with two horse shelters with attached pens, along with a hay barn and a one-acre fenced turnout area. Other outbuildings include a dedicated wood shed and a handy storage shed. Horses and dogs alike thrive here, with plenty of space to roam and easy access to shade in the woods or the spectacular openness of the valley down the road. Practical features include a well with a new filtration system, frost-free spigots for effortless water access, and an electrical connection for a whole-house generator. The home’s thoughtful design keeps it comfortable in all seasons. In the winter, the wood stove supplemented by a ceiling fan can heat the entire home, while in the summer, its insulation and single-level design keep it remarkably cool without the need for air conditioning. Russell Valley is not just a location, it is a community. Residents enjoy their privacy, yet neighbors are quick to help one another when needed. The setting is unique, with a welcoming spirit that makes it feel like home the moment you arrive. It is a sanctuary where you can enjoy both the comforts of a beautifully updated residence and the freedom of a mountain lifestyle.
