Description
Just 25 minutes from downtown Truckee, The Lodge at High Meadow Ranch is a remarkable retreat that breathes timelessness, authenticity, self-sufficiency, and luxury. Spanning 240 acres of pristine mountain meadow, the property features aspen cathedrals, classic Sierra forestland, the two creeks that flow year-round, Onion Creek and Cold Creek, and a profound expanse of mountain sky. At the heart of the property is the 9,700 square foot log cabin, custom built in 1989. The home is warm and grand, thoughtfully and artfully comprising 7 bedrooms, 5 ½ baths, 3 living rooms, a dining room with seating for 14, an expansive library, a game room, a dedicated wine cellar, and an expansive deck which overlooks the private meadow. Family and friends can gather around the campfire across the lawn, connect with each other in the well-crafted interior spaces, or seek solitude in the cozy corners of the Lodge. The property is entirely off-grid, with an extensive infrastructure, including an artesian well with pure mountain water, solar panels, and state of the art systems. Proximal to the Lodge are tennis courts, a sport court and the creeks and fishing pond to captivate those who want to spend the evening hours angling for trout. In the winter, the private meadow invites activities like cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. A 2,100 square foot equipment barn can shelter snowcats, snowmobiles, boats, trailers, and other mountain toys. Just beyond this breathtaking property is the protected Tahoe National Forest, and specifically Jackson Meadows Reservoir and Weber Lake. The Lodge at High Meadow Ranch promises authentic, secluded mountain living, and yet, it is a quick and charming drive to the restaurants, shops, beaches, and ski resorts that invigorate the Tahoe basin.
