Very secluded and private yet with easy year round access and gorgeous views!Unique 2805 sf ranch home built with that "straight out of the old west" flair and attention to every detail.Wonderful open floor plan with every amenity and comfort. Every room is oriented to take advantage of both indoor and outdoor views.On entering the front door from the wide ranch porch the artistic decor on the staircase to the loft catches your eye as you walk in to the great room.Whether you first notice the massive rock fireplace, the incredible 200 year old beams, antique handhewn pine and Nairobi slate floors, the passive solar comfort or the magnificent panoramic views beyond is a tossup!There is a huge ground level master suite with the bathroom sporting a redwood sauna as well as a walk-in shower. A lovely sun porch adjoins the master with views of the ranch and on down Long Valley. A hot tub is just outside on the splendid deck accessing the landscaped yard which is all under automatic sprinkler irrigation.The kitchen and dining areas continue with the detailed ambience yet with every modern convenience.Consistently comfortable and besides the passive solar orientation, the home is heated with hydronic floor heating enhanced by that grand stone fireplace with its Heatilator circulation and ceiling fans.Upstairs on the loft overlooking the great room is a guest bedroom, bathroom and another room being used as an office lending itself to options.Between the house and garage is a flagstone patio with a handwrought iron gate.The garage is oversized and boasts not only a workshop in back but an apartment above with bath and kitchenette.The 150 year old 4 stall barn with tack storage was actually brought from the old Bonanza Ranch and still serves its purpose well. There is a heated water trough, separate corral, and a round pen.  With perimeter and cross fencing, currently 5 horses have run of the whole ranch with access to plenty of feed and water.The 75 + acres has water galore with the deep year round spring fed pond and possibly another spring source. The soil seems to be such that a permanent pasture could be developed to graze a few head of cattle or other livestock. Known to be drought-proof, this is what attracted the current owners.The domestic well is 278' deep and produces 60+/- gpm.Just "over the hill" is Frenchman Lake and thousands of acres of USFS lands. Adjoining ranchlands are in conservancy so will never be developed.Reno is less than a half hour away. The ranch is 2 miles from Hwy 70, from there a little over a mile to Hwy 395 then 20 miles to Reno.What an awesome place to call home or a retreat!
