About 255 Desatoya Court
Some homes simply occupy their acreage. This one was designed around it. Set on 2.5 fully fenced acres, the custom residence was carefully oriented to capture natural light and mountain views while creating outdoor spaces sheltered from the prevailing winds and afternoon sun. Mornings begin with sunlight over the Comstock Range; evenings end beneath the glow of sunset over the Sierras. Inside, soaring open beams and wood ceilings set the tone. Exposed timbers, expansive windows and warm wide-plank white oak flooring bring a sense of scale and character to the open living spaces, while a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room. The updated kitchen is designed for gathering, with generous workspace, an oversized island, extensive cabinetry and a walk-in pantry. Overlooking it all, a flexible 600-square-foot loft—additional to the approximately 3,452 square feet reported for the main residence—takes full advantage of the architecture and views toward Mt. Rose. The main home also includes three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and a separate office/den. Both full bathrooms have recently been renovated, including a spacious primary bath with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub and a walk-in shower. A detached casita adds approximately 586 square feet with a full bedroom and bath, living area, washer/dryer combo and kitchenette—an inviting arrangement for guests or a private retreat. The property is equally well considered outside. In addition to the approximately 816-square-foot attached three-car garage, a detached three-car garage provides approximately 1,070 square feet, a substantial storage room and a drive thru covered carport. The pull-through driveway allows vehicles and trailers to circle the property without backing or unhooking, and an onsite dump station adds convenience for RV and trailer owners. Within the fully fenced acreage, additional fencing defines a private backyard with lawn, mature landscaping and a covered patio with TV and sound system to enjoy while taking in the views. Chicken coops are already in place, while open ground offers room to explore a future shop, pool, equestrian use or other possibilities. With Forest Service land adjoining the property, few immediate neighbors and no HOA, the setting offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility and breathing room. Yet Reno-Tahoe International Airport and Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe are each approximately 20 minutes away. It is country living without the long drive—and a home whose architecture, setting and versatility could not be easily recreated.
