Retire to the sanctuary of the primary suite, a masterpiece in itself, featuring a fireplace that dances with warmth, mirrored walls that reflect elegance, and a bathroom suite that rivals the most luxurious spas. A vast walk-in closet whispers tales of fashion, while a separate toilet, a tub with a built-in television, and a large shower with dual heads and a steam unit invite you to indulge in pure bliss. Access the sunken hot tub from the primary bedroom, surrounded by a Lutron sheer/blackout shading system and serenaded by a 5.1 surround sound audio video built-in system with a 70-inch Sony 4K TV. The outdoor realm mirrors the grandeur within, a meticulously landscaped oasis guarded by two gates that facilitate seamless entry and exit for trailers, boats, and motorhomes, all guided by a circular driveway. A 72-zone WIFI-enabled automatic irrigation system dances with water, sourced from a robust well and N I D water, nurturing the grounds to perfection. Nestled amidst the verdant expanse are three natural gas fireplaces, illuminating multiple sitting areas that embrace two Koi ponds, each embellished by 12 natural gas Bevelo copper fixtures. A separate 12 x 22 finished air-conditioned building stands as a testament to versatility, inviting you to envision it as holiday storage, an artist's sanctuary, a kid's gaming haven, a fitness retreat, or an inspiring office space. Storage finds its home in multiple corners, ensuring every possession has its place, while a true timber frame gazebo stands sentinel beside a front yard creek and waterfall. Here, beneath the skies, enveloped by the gentle glow of Bevelo natural gas lanterns and the natural illumination of 10 skylights, custom built-in mahogany seating invites you to recline by the fire pit, caressed by the soft glow of exterior up-lighting. This is not just a home; it is an embodiment of luxury living in the heart of the Sierra Nevadas, a mere whisper away from the historic charm of downtown Nevada City and downtown Grass Valley. Welcome to a life where elegance meets nature, and every moment is embraced by the beauty of your surroundings.
