Description

Framed 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.

    "i’ve lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years. I was born about an hour from here so this is like coming back home! Everyone is very friendly! since Grass Valley is about 3000 feet in elevation, The snow level is just above us. We might get a few inches of snow every year, but it doesn’t last long. It does get pretty hot in the summertime as high as 105 at times. It’s actually very beautiful! There are many pine trees, cedars, and oaks in our neighborhood! Also gold country is where we live! So if you’d like to try your hand at gold panning try many of our creeks and rivers! Our county has the most beautiful fairgrounds in California! Many things to do in our town!"

  • Christine Cook
    "It’s a quiet neighborhood with mostly Victorian homes. It’s near a high school but that doesn’t seem to affect traffic or the peaceful atmosphere. It’s fairly close to Hwy 49 so there’s a lot of background noise but one gets used to it pretty quickly. There are several nice parks and trails nearby. It’s a decent place to raise a family. It’s also within walking distance to of historic downtown and shopping. "

Great clubhouse, golf course, restaurants, pizza parlor, auto repair, elementary school. Quiet. Absolutely lovely. Herds of deer roam freely everywhere. Only 3 miles to town. But far enough out of town to really enjoy being in the country. Lots of amenities."

    "Grass Valley is great, but something strange in a brewing in the air around here. whatever it is it's not good. But schools are great!! There is a lot of homeless and illicit drug use and I'm not talking marijuana either. At first, I thought the people were nice, but I think that's only in Penn Valley. Grass Valley has many younger/middle-age folk that act like they are in high school and are brutal to new comers. That being said, I have met many kind individuals who have been welcoming."
