Nevada, Douglas County, Gardnerville, USA

Tucked within the gates of Jobs Peak Ranch, one of the Carson Valley's most coveted communities, this 6,224 sq ft estate is a rare fusion of rustic mountain soul and uncompromising craftsmanship. Set on 2.71 private acres with the Sierra as a backdrop, this architect-designed retreat created by Dean Abbott and built by Tom Smith offers 5 bedrooms (currently configured with one as a hobby room/exercise studio) and 4.5 baths of true custom artistry. The property hugs a trickling, year-round creek, framing the home with gorgeous views. Arrival sets the tone: a paved driveway sweeps to a grade entrance beneath a porte coch?re, leading to a 6-car garage outfitted with lifts a rare offering built for the serious collector. From the moment you step inside, the home tells a story of old-world materials reimagined for mountain living. Reclaimed Cypress wood ceilings and hand-scraped Hickory floors set the tone, while Knotty Alder trim, hand-distressed to look aged, wraps every window, door, and baseboard. Limestone graces the entry and half bath, and bullnose wall corners with squared 8" custom baseboards speak to the level of detail found throughout. The kitchen is a work of art in its own right: custom Cherry cabinetry with flush doors and copper insets; a Black Walnut island finished with a water-block sealer, and granite counters that flow into the master bath and studio/gym. Culinary appointments include a DCS Professional five-burner cooktop with griddle, integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, Sub-Zero glass-front drink fridge, Bosch dishwasher plus two Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, dual Kitchen Aid convection ovens, built-in Miele coffee maker and steamer, warming drawer, and trash compactor all finished with new fixtures, disposals, and air-switch controls at both sinks. Gather around the Great Room's natural stone fireplace, hand-fit from real stone with hand-forged ironwork, its hearth rock salvaged from an Old Town Sacramento demolition. Four additional fireplaces warm the Sitting Room, Primary Bedroom, Guest Suite, and Outdoor Patio, creating cozy retreats throughout. Antique 1850s beams from Woodfords serve as mantels and greenhouse accents, where Velux skylights open and close automatically with the weather. Mahogany cabinetry defines the spa-like primary bath, appointed with a steam shower and its own private closet housing a washer and dryer. Suede-finished walls add warmth and texture throughout. The Guest Suite deserves special mention with its own private fireplace and thoughtful separation from the main living areas; it functions beautifully as a secondary primary suite, ideal for multigenerational living or extended guests. Above it all, an American Vermont Slate roof in a rare purple-green blend crowns the home as enduring as the mountains that surround it. This estate was engineered for comfort and resilience: radiant floor heat plus three 5-ton split HVAC systems, whole-home central vac, motorized blinds, UV-protected wind
