About this home
Tucked away in the highly desirable Oakcrest Estates community, this 4,650+/- sf custom mountain home blends exceptional craftsmanship, warmth, and thoughtful design with the beauty of Nevada County living. Built using insulated concrete form construction, it features 12-inch exterior walls with an impressive R-55 insulation value, setting it apart for both quality of construction and energy efficiency. With incredible attention to detail, the home showcases handmade claro walnut solid doors, a handcrafted front entry door with custom copper inlay, and stunning Russian-designed stained-glass panels that create a truly artistic atmosphere throughout the property. All day-to-day living is located on the main level, offering the comfort of spacious gathering areas, a large primary suite with private bathroom and easy access to outdoor entertaining spaces. Inside, the living area is roomy, bright and open. A Dan Reinhardt-designed hearth with an Alaskan Yellow Cedar mantle, complemented by a powerful 72,000 BTU wood stove capable of heating the home serves as a centerpiece. Log-style cedar accents harvested from Nevada County add warmth and character throughout the residence. In the kitchen you'll find rich big-leaf maple cabinetry, tongue-and-groove drawers with custom built-ins, and beautiful big-leaf maple flooring in the dining area. The primary bedroom features its own private balcony, creating a peaceful retreat to enjoy the surrounding forested setting, plus an ensuite bathroom with a shower and soaking tub, dual sinks and vanity area. The lower level offers additional flexibility with its own private entrance and an area already plumbed for a future wet bar, ideal for guests, entertaining, or potential separate living quarters. Outdoor living is equally impressive with expansive Ironwood decking designed for entertaining, dining outdoors, or relaxing in the peaceful mountain setting. Unwind in the spa under the stars and enjoy the tranquil surroundings that make this property feel like a private retreat. Additional features include triple-glazed west-facing windows, two HVAC zones, 400-amp electrical service, a 500-gallon holding tank, and a septic system designed for 6 bedrooms. Also includes a large 3 car garage plus an attached workshop with loft space offering potential for a future ADU, studio, or guest quarters. This extraordinary property offers a rare combination of artistry, comfort and timeless mountain elegance....
