A 160 acre mountain retreat high in the Sierras and in its own quaken aspen bowl. There sits a mountain cabin that overlooks all the country below, including Reno, NV. The cabin is completely self sufficient with solar and wind supplying all the power you need high in the mountains on 10 acres of land that is bordered by the Tahoe National Forest on three sides. The property has a horizontal well drilled into the hillside bedrock of the mountainside that is a marvel of modern engineering. It supplies all the water you could want with plenty left over. The cabin has solar electric, hydronic floor heating with hot water from an outdoor boiler system, wind electric, satellite TV, Hughes net Internet and the best cell reception possible. The valley the cabin sits in is east facing so you get the morning sun and afternoon shade. There is a healthy stand of timber that mainly consists of large Ponderosa Pines, White Fir, Quaken Aspen and Cedar. There is 5 miles of good improved dirt road coming up from Verdi with a locked gate at the Verdi NV end. You can see if you have family coming for miles before they get there. There is well over 100,000 +/- acres behind the locked gate with only two homes in the area. Numerous out buildings and an underground emergency shelter with a heavy metal door. The property is home to monster Mule Deer bucks and is on the main migration route for the Tahoe to Sierra Valley heard. Most of the property is Tahoe National Forest and private timber holdings, so it is a small wonder that such big bucks are residents there. The property is also home to trophy Black Bears, a new world record bear was taken not far from this property. There are lots of upland game birds including, Mountain Quail, Valley Quail, Blue Grouse and Wild Turkey. If you are into fishing, this area can’t be beat.
