Sierra Foothills Sunset Estate

Perched above the Bear River Canyon in California’s scenic Sierra Foothills, this expansive retreat offers breathtaking sunset views and a rare sense of privacy paired with thoughtful luxury. Spanning approximately 6,000 square feet, the home is surrounded by nature and designed for groups seeking space, comfort, and an immersive outdoor experience, while remaining within easy reach of regional destinations.

The interior is generous and inviting, featuring seven spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms arranged to comfortably accommodate families and groups. Large windows and elevated vantage points bring the surrounding landscape indoors, while open living areas encourage gathering and shared moments. A gourmet kitchen anchors the home, fully equipped for preparing memorable meals and hosting relaxed group dining.

Designed with sustainability in mind, the home is a Net Zero residence powered by extensive solar energy and includes an electric vehicle charger for guest convenience. After a day of exploring, guests can unwind in the six-person hot tub, enjoying canyon views as the sun dips below the horizon and the landscape shifts into evening calm.

Outdoor amenities make this property truly stand out. A private half-mile walking path leads directly down to the Bear River, offering a serene connection to the natural environment. For active guests, a professional sand volleyball court, complete with seasonal night lighting, creates an unexpected and memorable feature, perfect for friendly competition and group fun.

Though the setting feels wonderfully secluded, the location offers excellent access to nearby towns and adventures. Ski resorts are under an hour away, Lake Tahoe is an easy day trip, and the historic towns of Grass Valley, Auburn, and Nevada City provide dining, shopping, and nightlife close by. This Sierra Foothills retreat delivers an inspired balance of privacy, sustainability, recreation, and sweeping natural beauty.
