The architectural style is contemporary post and beam 2.5 story rustic but refined lodge.

Massive central fireplace with Fireplace Extraordinaire propane remote controlled fireplace to keep the home cozy. Unique belt-driven old-fashioned ceiling fans in the living room circulate the fireplaces warmth evenly. All walls and ceilings are beautiful solid cedar. A robust security system provides peace of mind when you are away. The large chef's kitchen is adjacent to the living room and is designed for multiple cooks to prepare for a crowd. Generous granite topped island creates social place to cook and visit with the chefs. There are tons of cabinets through the kitchen, new appliances, and matching granite on all countertops. A second sink on a separate kitchen peninsula acts as a prep space for the kitchen, or doubles as a bar sink. There is a wonderful 360-degree flow in the living room around the massive floor to ceiling central fireplace. 5' tall windows surround the living room offering views in all directions. Upstairs has rich carbonized bamboo flooring throughout. Private master wing includes large bath with twin sinks, sunken shower, walk-thru closet hallway, and ground floor cozy master.

This home is designed to entertain large groups with ease. Outside you will find a large 4-6 car parking area, wide sweeping stone steps lead from the parking to the front door, and alongside the house to a large lower stone terrace perfect for a fire pit. A man made 80' stream runs from the parking area to the lower terrace next to the stone steps. It begins with waterfall, which becomes a stream that runs next to the stone walkway to the lower terrace. The sound of rushing water is so soothing on hot summer days and a joy to sit next to with a fire and friends in the evenings. There is another very private stone terrace on the ski slope side of the lodge perfect for an outdoor spa. This terrace overlooks a natural seasonal creek that runs between the home and the ski run across a shallow ravine. This is the perfect spot for star gazing as there are no lights to obscure the view. This home is at the end of a private dirt lane shared by 2 other properties. The neighbors are all lovely people. This home enjoys 270 degrees of total privacy and unobstructed views of forest, meadow, ski run, and top of the Sierras. We see coyotes, deer, squirrels, blue jays, wood peckers, etc. routinely. But seldom see bear in the neighborhood. The home has been cosmetically remodeled extensively throughout since its purchase. It is decorated in a unique Pacific Northwestern style to celebrate the owners Alaskan roots.
