Trek Old Clear Creek into the Humboldt-Toiyabe Forest to this secluded property close enough to Nevada’s capital that a Carson City slicker may feel at home, but remote enough that a hunter may feel at a cabin. A long-time staple of Americana, log houses have come a long way since Honest Abe split wood and this rustic home, with 10-inch “Lincoln” logs, exudes fine craftmanship throughout 2834 SQFT with 3 BDRM, 2.5 BTH, 5-CAR GRG on 5.00 AC.

Old Clear Creek Road meanders through a canyon to a log home that appears naturally set in the natural setting of nature’s pine trees.
Inside, a vaulted ceiling, wood beams, and log walls evoke the grandeur of a hunter’s lodge. Its first floor features a foyer, family and dining room combo, kitchen, bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry room.
After a tiring day hunting, hang fatigues in the entry’s coat closet. A rustic pendant light is suspended like a motionless pendulum and a staircase swings upward.
Not all who wander are lost but some might be at a loss for words in wonderment of the family and dining room wherein outdoorsman stories are shared indoors near the pellet stove insert inserted into a rock hearth. A ceiling fan spins over the family area and a faux antler chandelier dangles above the dining area. Natural light enters via three compass points: full height casement windows face north; picture windows bear west; and, accessing the wood deck, a French door points south.
The equipped kitchen is game to cook game. Whether beef bagged at Butler Meats or elk bagged with a tag, simmer either in a stew on the 5-burner cooktop or bake into a casserole in the wall oven. Enhance flavors with herbs sprouted in the bay window. Ice leftovers in the fridge and nuke them in the microwave. Manually load the raised dishwasher and automatically compact trash. Pinewood cabinet faces add a dash of rustic charm and green granite, reminiscent of pine tree crowns, is unfurled across the countertops, large kitchen island, kitchen desk, and breakfast bar. Store provisions in the walk-in pantry.

Freshen up fatigues after returning fresh from a hunt in the laundry room with sink, cabinets, folding countertop, and washer and dryer.
Track the trail upstairs to the second floor’s master suite, bedroom, half bathroom, and loft.
The master suite is a master hunter’s den. The bedroom is airy with a vaulted ceiling and natural light penetrates windows via three cardinal points—north, east and south. Flip through Deer & Deer Hunting at the window seat. A patio door opens to a balcony that, like a hunting blind, provides an elevated forest vantage. Ready for the hunt in the ensuite with dual sinks, beauty station, medicine cabinet, and laundry chute; wash away the hunt in its oversized shower stall with dual shower heads, wand, and bench; relish the hunt in its soaking tub with an over-the-tub window. Sort assorted hunting gear in the walk-in closet.
