Remarkable scenery and panoramic 300° views surround this private 20.02-acre retreat at 12797 Crest Way in Truckee’s Juniper Creek Ranch. Custom built in 2009 and meticulously maintained, the residence captures treetop and mountain vistas of Tinker’s Knob, Dry Lake, the Summit and beyond, with evening alpenglow illuminating the surrounding peaks.

Direct access to alpine wilderness, hiking, biking and snowmobile trails creates a natural connection to year-round outdoor adventure. A lower, nearly level area offers space for a future barn and horses, equipment building or ADU, while the acreage provides ample room for seasonal gear, recreational toys and exploration.

The elevated main living level maximizes the views with expansive windows and a large, sunny deck overlooking the mountains and forest. An open floor plan connects the spacious great room, large kitchen and dining area, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Wood-clad ceilings and hardwood flooring bring warmth and mountain character, while the freshly painted interior feels light and crisp. Air conditioning adds summer comfort.

The main living level includes a spacious primary suite with private deck, a flexible room with a cool loft—ideal for kids or remote work—plus three guest bedrooms, one with its own private deck, and guest baths. Forest and vista views extend throughout the home.

The lower living level includes laundry facilities and the 5th bedroom with ensuite bath, privately situated behind the deep 2-car garage. Ideal for extended stays, a home office or recreation room, this space adds flexibility and privacy. The deep garage provides ample storage for vehicles, bikes, snowmobiles and seasonal equipment.

Property infrastructure includes a private well and owned propane tank with automatic fills. Gated access within Juniper Creek Ranch enhances privacy, while the neighborhood provides a sense of community.
