Perfect-size Tahoe-style luxury retreat two blocks from a championship golf course in a spectacular mountainside setting.
This home is located in the award-winning master-planned golf course community of Somersett, nestled between the Sierra and Peavine mountain ranges just west of Reno. Somersett is approximately seven miles from the California border and just a few minutes off of (but hidden from) I-80. Lake Tahoe is an easy 45-minute drive during which you’ll pass by historic Truckee, California, and the world-famous Squaw Valley ski resort, site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
If you don’t love Reno-Tahoe, you don't like the outdoors, and may be incapable of enjoying life. The sun shines almost every day. The scenery is spectacular. It’s warm without humidity in the summer and spectacular in the winter. Like to ski? The average annual snowfall at Lake Tahoe is 33 FEET. Hate to shovel? In Reno, average annual snowfall is 25 INCHES. Usually any overnight snow is melted by noon.
And, in case you didn’t know, Nevada has no state income tax. The price, $499,999, represents a reduction of $50,000 from the most recent price listed with a realtor. We offer a 2.5 percent commission to agents who bring an acceptable offer.
The design of this home was chosen by a builders group as the 2005 Best New Production Home up to 2,150 sq. ft. with a sales price over $350,000. It is located within the exclusive Talon Pointe gated community, situated on a rise in the heart of Somersett and adjacent to the country club and finishing hole of the 18-hole championship golf course.
Talon Pointe by Ryder Homes is a small (two-streets) community with homes unlike anything else to be found in northern Nevada. The exteriors combine rock, stucco and wood to create a mountain ambiance. They are also fully landscaped with fauna appropriate for the high-desert climate and automatic drip irrigation systems. This home features upscale finishing details inside and out, including granite countertops and colorful paving blocks on the driveway, walks and patio in back. Breathtaking views abound.
The interior of this single-story, approximately 2,100-square-foot home feels much roomier because of the dramatic high ceilings throughout, including a two-story foyer with dormer. The eye-popping great room tops out at nearly 12 feet tall and features full rock wall with fireplace and entertainment center alcove at one end and an almost all-glass southern-exposure rear wall. The lavish master suite includes a 12' 6" x 11' 9” master bath with elegant glass-enclosed two-head shower lined with earthenware-like tile, a platform-surrounded deep tub and a dual-sink vanity running almost the length of the room. The luxurious kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances, two sinks (one in the island), and granite-slab counters with full backsplashes.
The entire interior has been expertly painted in designer-selected colors. The den, foyer and bathroom floors are done in 16-inch tile. High-end, durable, low-knap sculpted carpet is everywhere else, except the great room, which is base carpet. Even the extra-tall, fully insulated two-car garage features tall, decorative baseboard.
The Somersett resident amenities package includes use of the $9 million Club at Town Center with its extensive fitness room and children's play rooms and basketball court. Outside are a pool with play fountains and water slide, a separate lap pool, separate family and adult whirlpools, and tennis courts. You have to join the country club to play the championship course, but residents can play the separate par-3 Canyon Nine course for only $5 a round. Twenty-seven miles of paved and natural hiking and biking trails wind through the dramatic Sierra landscape and up into the hills, where mule deer still roam and hawks soar over the rugged landscape.
