This sensational rustic mountain retreat was designed by High Camp Home in collaboration with builder High Sierra Customs, located in Truckee, just outside of Lake Tahoe, California. The home is comprised of 3,606 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms plus a bunk loft above the pool table room. This custom home features a spectacular blend of materials, including custom-milled barn wood, square nails, custom ironwork, iron fixtures, and stacked stone fireplaces.

Additionally, this mountain dwelling offers breathtaking and panoramic views of Donner Lake and the surrounding mountains. The master bedroom suite will leave you speechless, including two fireplaces, a hammered copper tub, and incredible rockwork. The deck, kitchen, and complimentary living spaces are refined and sophisticated, yet comfortable and inviting. This residence was featured in the February 2009 cover of Tahoe Quarterly as the award-winning remodel of the year.
