Ski-In, Ski-Out Mountain Contemporary at Northstar's Exclusive Mountainside

The architectural vision centers on maximizing natural light and panoramic views through an innovative use of floor-to-ceiling glazing. Revolutionary foldaway glass door systems on both sides of the living area create an unprecedented indoor-outdoor experience, allowing the space to expand dramatically when opened to frame both Carson Range and Northstar vistas.

Inside, the open-concept living area flows seamlessly around a contemporary linear fireplace with wood-paneled accent wall, connecting organically to the chef's kitchen. This culinary workspace features stainless steel appliances and a dramatic waterfall-edge island that serves as both functional workspace and sculptural centerpiece. Throughout the home, rich hardwood flooring creates continuity and warmth, while designer pendant lighting and automated shade systems provide both ambiance and practical luxury.

The primary suite embodies spa-inspired tranquility with its wood-grain headboard wall and resort-quality bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower showcasing intricate hexagonal tilework. Every detail, from the precision-cut tile patterns to the carefully selected hardware finishes, reflects an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship excellence.

The lower level transforms into an entertainment destination with regulation pool table and shuffleboard beneath striking linear chandeliers, creating an sophisticated recreation space that rivals the finest private clubs. The thoughtful integration of a ski storage area with boot dryers and equipment organization demonstrates the home's purpose-built design for the mountain lifestyle.

Perhaps most remarkably, the 1,600-square-foot outdoor living room extends the home's footprint dramatically into nature itself. This expansive wooden deck centers around an integrated spa and fire pit, creating multiple zones for relaxation and entertainment while maintaining the architectural integrity of the overall design. The seamless transition from interior spaces through the foldaway doors to this outdoor sanctuary represents contemporary living at its finest.

Truckee, California, stands as one of the Sierra Nevada's most coveted mountain destinations, where rich railroad heritage meets world-class alpine recreation. This historic town, originally established as a railroad hub in the 1860s, has evolved into a sophisticated year-round resort community while maintaining its authentic mountain character and small-town charm.

Northstar California represents the evolution of Sierra Nevada skiing, transforming from a local ski area in the 1970s into one of North America's premier four-season resort destinations. The exclusive Mountainside community at Northstar offers the rare privilege of true ski-in, ski-out living, with private trails connecting directly to the resort's lift system. This eliminates the typical resort hassles of parking and shuttle transportation, providing immediate access to over 3,000 skiable acres and 100 trails.

The location provides unparalleled recreational diversity throughout the seasons. Winter brings world-class alpine skiing and snowboarding, with the property's private trail connecting directly to the Timberline chairlift. When snow melts, the same terrain transforms into an extensive network of hiking and biking trails, with over 40 miles of maintained paths extending into pristine alpine wilderness directly from the property.

Northstar Village, just minutes away, offers sophisticated dining, shopping, and entertainment options, including the luxury Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. The village's pedestrian-friendly design creates a European alpine atmosphere with year-round events, outdoor concerts, and seasonal festivals that bring the community together.

The broader Truckee region provides access to Lake Tahoe's crystal-clear waters and 72 miles of shoreline, offering world-class boating, swimming, and water sports during summer months. Multiple championship golf courses, including Northstar's own 18-hole course designed by Robert Muir Graves, provide additional recreational opportunities.

The exclusive Mountainside community elevates the mountain living experience with resort-style amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center, yoga studio, game room, hot tub, swimming pool, and the distinctive Treehouse retreat. These shared spaces create opportunities for community connection while maintaining the privacy and exclusivity that defines luxury mountain living.

Truckee-Tahoe Airport provides convenient access for private aviation, while major metropolitan areas remain accessible via Interstate 80. This connectivity allows residents to maintain urban professional connections while enjoying a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and the unique culture of one of America's most desirable mountain communities.
