Nestled among the pines in the highly sought-after Back 9 neighborhood of Schaffer's Mill, this nearly new mountain-modern residence captures sweeping forest views and the effortless luxury that defines Tahoe living. Built less than three years ago and impeccably maintained, the home blends timeless mountain warmth with contemporary design, featuring wide-plank hardwood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and expansive walls of glass that fill the interiors with natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the open-concept floor plan centers around a chef's kitchen with a dramatic gathering island, quartz countertops, premium integrated appliances, wine refrigerator, and a built-in bar that seamlessly connects to the dining and great room. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, while a sleek linear fireplace and folding glass doors create a seamless transition to the covered outdoor living and dining spaces. Offering the ultimate Tahoe lifestyle, the home is thoughtfully appointed with custom built-in bunk beds, a dedicated media room, recreation/game room, wine room, wet bar, private office, and a junior suite ideal for guests or multi-generational living. The luxurious primary suite is highlighted by a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath expansive windows, heated tile floors, dual vanities, and a serene connection to the surrounding forest. Heated tile flooring also extends through the powder room and mudroom entry. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive, with multiple decks, a covered patio, hot tub, fire pit, built-in BBQ, and professionally landscaped grounds designed for year-round enjoyment. The home is fully equipped with an extensive suite of modern conveniences, including Control4 smart-home automation with integrated audio, video, lighting, and streaming capabilities, radiant floor heating, central air conditioning, dual-zone climate control, whole-home humidification, spray-foam insulation, EV charging, wired security system, integrated bear mats, snow-melt systems, and an oversized attached garage with additional space for a golf cart and mountain gear. Located behind the gates of Schaffer's Mill, one of Truckee's premier golf and mountain communities, owners enjoy access to exceptional amenities and a prime location just minutes from Northstar California Resort, Lake Tahoe, and endless year-round recreation. The HOA fees include the community's Social Membership with no additional initiation fee, providing access to Schaffer's Mill's on-site amenities, dining, fitness facilities, resort-style pool, and family programming, as well as exclusive access to the private Northstar ski lounge and seasonal shuttle service to Northstar. For golf members, ownership also offers access to the prestigious Troon Privé Privilege program, providing reciprocal playing opportunities and preferred access at an exclusive network of private clubs and premier golf destinations worldwide.

Timilick Tahoe, located between Donner Lake and downtown Truckee, is a mountain and lakeside Truckee neighborhood with pine-lined streets and cabin-style homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Donner Lake Causeway and West End Beach, where paddleboards, picnic tables, and shoreline footpaths set the tempo. Architecture leans to classic Tahoe A-frames and low-slung lodges, with decks oriented toward forest and water views. Donner Memorial State Park frames daily routines with trailheads, beaches, and the Emigrant Trail Museum. Moody’s Bistro Bar & Beats and Alibi Ale Works anchor the local food-and-drink scene, while Truckee River Regional Park adds fields and riverbank paths for year-round outings.
