Rustic-Modern Sierra Escape on Half Acre

Tucked among towering trees on over half an acre in Arnold, this distinctive mountain retreat offers a peaceful escape surrounded by natural beauty. Designed to embrace its forest setting, the home captures beautiful sunrise and sunset views from an expansive elevated deck, creating the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings beneath the pines.

Inside, the open-plan layout blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Knotty pine ceilings, natural cedar railings, and a stunning river rock fireplace create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while dark laminate flooring and thoughtfully selected furnishings add a contemporary edge. Cathedral ceilings enhance the sense of space, and a large sectional sofa provides the perfect spot to relax by the fire with family and friends.

The updated kitchen features live-edge granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a propane range and stove, French door refrigerator, new dishwasher, and all essential cookware and countertop appliances. A generous dining table seats eight or more, making it ideal for shared meals, board games, and evening conversations.

Sleeping accommodations are spread across three bedrooms plus a loft. Two bedrooms offer king beds, while another bedroom includes two double-decker bunk sets with four twin beds. The loft features a trundle sofa bed for additional guests. The home comfortably sleeps 8–10 guests, making it well-suited for families or small groups.

Modern conveniences enhance the mountain experience. High-speed Xfinity internet supports remote work and multiple devices, and a Tesla charger and generator inlet add practical functionality for longer stays. The expansive outdoor deck showcases the surrounding giant trees and provides space to gather, grill, or simply unwind in the fresh Sierra air.

Located in the heart of Arnold, the home offers easy access to hiking trails, mountain lakes, winter sports, and year-round outdoor adventure. This elevated forest retreat combines character, comfort, and convenience for a relaxed Sierra getaway.
