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.
