Property Description
Escape the ordinary and experience true independence at 20 Prairie Way, a beautifully designed fully self-sustaining off-grid property set on 13.32 acres of high-desert landscape just north of Reno. Built in 2011, this 2,792-square-foot custom home offers self-sustaining comfort with breathtaking, unobstructed views of the surrounding foothills and direct access to BLM and undeveloped land. Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, this property is a gateway to endless adventure-ride directly from your property on horseback, side-by-side, or dirt bike and explore miles of open terrain. The home showcases quality craftsmanship and durable, low-maintenance materials. The roof combines Davinci Class A Synthetic Slate on steep slopes and Design Span 24-gauge metal roofing with a Kynar Weathered Copper finish on low slopes. Exterior siding features T1-11 panels and 20-gauge corrugated steel, accented by Cor-Ten steel trim and fascia for a rustic yet refined aesthetic. A detached two-bay garage (768 sq. ft.) offers ample space for vehicles, tools, or recreational gear, with one vaulted bay for larger equipment. Additional structures include a carport/shop area, chicken coop, and a 15'x15' greenhouse adjoining a large garden-ideal for sustainable living. To the north of the residence, a 10,000-gallon retention pond adds both beauty and functionality. The pond features a partially built pond house and deck, stocked with approximately 20 Largemouth Bass and 20 large Carp. The pond is filtered through an Oase Bio Tec Screen Matic 18000 Gravity filter that flows over a peaceful waterfall. This property is fully self-sustaining with thoughtfully designed systems: Water: Private well (10 GPM) with a 1,600-gallon storage tank located at the top of the property, providing gravity-fed supply to the home and garden. Power: Outback Power 8048 Radian Series 8,000W/48V inverter with dual charge controllers, six L16 deep-cycle batteries, 16 Panasonic 265W solar panels ready for installation, and a Champion 10,000W dual-fuel generator for backup. Heating: Radiant floor heating powered by a Laars Mini Therm II boiler with a seven-zone Rinnai manifold. Domestic hot water is supplied by a 40-gallon tank, all fueled by an owned 180-gallon propane system. This is in addition to the stand-alone wood burning fireplace to keep warm during the winter months. Sewage: 1,600-gallon concrete septic tank with a leach field running north to south in front of the garden. The garage is also plumbed for a new owner to build a bathroom in the future. Every detail of this home was designed for independence, efficiency, and enjoyment of Nevada's natural beauty. With its sustainable systems, wide-open space, and proximity to public land, 20 Prairie Way is ideal for those seeking a balance of modern comfort and off-grid freedom. Whether you're looking for a full-time homestead, private retreat, or basecamp for your outdoor pursuits, this property delivers the rare combination of self-sufficiency, craftsmanship, and adventure-ready living-all within reach of Reno's amenities.
