7710 Lahontan Dr, Truckee, CA 96161

In the summertime, the scene out the backyard of this classic Lahontan mountain lodge is something straight from a collaboration between the Nature Channel and the Golf Channel. In that quiet between foursomes working their way up the 14th fairway, there’s the pristine view of the Pacific Crest and Lookout Mountain just beyond the patio. Come winter, that transforms into a direct invitation to step out the back door and into your snowshoes. Such is the connection this 4,990-square-foot home has with its surroundings. Beyond the storybook impression of boulders, beams and peaked roofs at the entry of this 4-bed, 3.5-bath home is a great room with bold fireplace and windows facing that same panorama of mountains and fairway. Nearby is the dining room as well as the kitchen that – like the great room – has direct access to the back patio with its covered dining and barbecue area and its ever-growing collection of amazing sunsets. Left of the entry leads to a large office and a primary suite with fireplace, large bathroom, and even grander views. The stairs beyond the kitchen lead to a landing overlooking the great room, a bedroom with views of Lookout and the golf course, and a junior suite that shares a bathroom with another bedroom. Designed by Ward Young Architects and built by Loverde Construction, this home’s appliances are second to none with range, refrigerator, oven and wine fridge all from Viking.
