A Tranquil Washoe Valley Retreat with Sunset Views & Garden Serenity
Welcome to your private 1.06-acre paradise nestled in the heart of Washoe Valley—where nature, tranquility, and timeless character come together. This beautifully maintained, fully fenced and landscaped property offers a rare blend of peaceful outdoor living and thoughtful amenities, with stunning views of the Sierra Nevadas, Slide Mountain, and Washoe Lake just beyond your backyard.
At the heart of the lush grounds is a custom elevated Tea House, perfectly placed in a serene xeriscaped garden with a dry creek and pond—ideal for meditating, enjoying sunset views, or even stargazing overnight. Meandering stone pathways connect every special corner of the property, including a vibrant orchard with apple, apricot, nectarine, peach, plum, and pear trees, plus a grape arbor, chokecherries, and currants for seasonal delight.
Enjoy outdoor living with ease thanks to Trex decking, two natural gas BBQ hookups, and a charming "castle" play structure for little adventurers. A 1500-gallon water storage tank provides peace of mind with emergency fire suppression, humidity- and temperature-controlled walkway offers comfortable access from the front door to the driveway—no matter the season.
Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was built in 1977 with craftsmanship and care. While ready for your personal updates, it's been lovingly maintained and offers a solid foundation for your vision. Two of the bedrooms are en-suites, and the primary suite boasts a spacious walk-in closet. The large family room and atrium, both with roof windows, invite natural light and warmth, while a cozy wood-burning fireplace sets the tone for relaxing evenings.
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Private, peaceful, and filled with potential. Come explore all the beauty Washoe Valley has to offer.
