10250 Dick Barter Truckee, CA 96161

All features of this two-lot estate - its size, location and quality of craftsmanship - collaborate for an elegance normally reserved for the great lodges of America. At 8,946 square feet, this estate features 7 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 3 half baths, spans two lots, and offers a stunning 180° view of the 18th fairway of the Tom Weiskopf-designed Lahontan Golf Course. That scene of forest fairway and sunset is front and center from an undulating veranda that stretches the length on the back of the home. With its various tables, firepit and intimate coves, the patio is nothing short of a dream setting for entertaining friends and family. From here, it's a short stroll across the fairway to The Lahontan Lodge for a workout, spa session, or an evening of fine dining. The allure of this home, however, makes it hard to walk away from. Upon entering, you're faced with halls leading left and right and a peek at the backyard setting before you. Left leads to a stunning semi-circle bar and a gathering spot unlike any other. At the base of a towering metal flue is a fireplace encircled by seats and doorways sliding open to the back patio. The room's ambience is reminiscent of a mountain chateau where cocktails and the comfort of a fire stokes the kinds of conversation and camaraderie that will long be treasured. Above and behind the bar, a custom metal staircase leads to a media room with two decks and billiard table and, a few steps up, a bedroom with two double beds. Beyond the downstairs bar is a hallway leading to the primary suite with impressive rock fireplace, bold beams, two patios, and an opulent copper bath. Another wing right of the entry leads to the hub of this amazing home - a great room with a big rock fireplace, massive beams, suspended canoe, and access to the fairway-fronting patio. There's a huge central island for breakfasts and late-night gatherings, a dining room with 180° windows, game/breakfast nook, and a kitchen with pantry, impressive stove with iron hood, and a large working counter. A few steps away is an intimate study that can double as a media room. The hallway further meanders toward a gym and a second primary suite with fireplace and patio access, while a staircase leads to a landing where one direction leads to two bedrooms and a sauna while the other course brings you to a bunk room that sleeps eight. As detailed and spectacular as the home may be, it's likewise imbued with a sense of comfort and familiarity, features that make everything from mornings at the breakfast nook to backyard barbecues ideal settings for creating fond memories and lasting legacies. Finally, at all points of this home's exterior is a landscape plan that was masterfully planned and executed and that seems to forever enchant.
