Tucked behind a gated entry on over two fenced acres in the heart of Nevada County, this exceptional mountain retreat offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and adventure. Located just moments from Scott's Flat Lake and some of the country's most sought-after mountain biking trails, the property is ideally positioned for those who love the outdoors. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, architecturally striking lines, and walls of windows create a bright, welcoming living environment surrounded by peaceful forest views. The heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen featuring quartz countertops, rich solid wood cabinetry, an oversized island designed for gathering, and generous spaces for entertaining family and friends. Every bedroom is a private retreat with its own ensuite bath, offering comfort and privacy throughout. An additional loft provides the perfect flex space for a home office, creative studio, media room, or game lounge. Step outside to expansive entertaining decks where evenings are spent around the fire pit beneath the stars, surrounded by towering pines and fresh mountain air. The oversized three-car garage is equally impressive, complete with a mini-split system ideal for a workshop, fitness space, craft studio, or collectible car storage, along with a Tesla charger for modern convenience. Additional features include a building pad for a future guest house or shop with utilities stubbed to the site (buyer to verify), as well as underground electrical service stubbed for a future automatic gate opener (buyer to verify). Combining a private forest setting, thoughtful design, and exceptional access to outdoor recreation, this one-of-a-kind property offers a lifestyle that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from the amenities, trails, and lake that make Nevada City such a special place to call home.
