OPEN HOUSES: Fri. 2/13 3pm-5pm and Sat. 2/14 11am-1pm. Within a private, curated botanical garden on nearly one acre in desirable Caughlin Ranch, this well-built custom single-story home offers a setting rarely found in Reno. Meandering walking paths weave through flowering trees, native plants, and rare pine, spruce and maple trees. Thoughtfully designed with full irrigation, charming wood bridges, and labeled with plaques, the grounds live like a personal arboretum…serene, immersive, and unforgettable. Big-ticket updates are already handled, including a new water heater, HVAC system with all new ducting, and a mini-split system for the office (all in 2023). The home’s craftsmanship is immediately evident with solid wood doors, a full wood-siding exterior, and a “newer” roof. Priced just under appraised value, this is one of those “forever homes” that don’t come on the market often. Inside, the home office is nothing short of spectacular, featuring cathedral ceilings, wall to wall wood cabinets, expansive windows, rich hardwood floors, and a gas-log fireplace – an inspiring space designed to work or unwind. The sunroom invites slow mornings and relaxed evenings, while the living room centers around a dramatic rock, wood-burning fireplace, with an adjacent wet bar designed for effortless entertaining. The kitchen is both functional and welcoming, offering double ovens, a generous cooktop, island seating, and a window bay overlooking the garden. Privately positioned, the primary suite showcases a vaulted wood ceiling, direct deck access, and a spa-inspired bath with a redwood-surround jetted tub and walk-in shower. The great room is warm and inviting with hardwood floors, wood ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless access to the backyard deck and lawn. Caughlin Ranch allows detached garages with architectural approval. As one of Reno’s most coveted neighborhoods, Caughlin Ranch offers a lifestyle that goes far beyond beautiful homes. Residents enjoy access to miles of scenic, tree-lined walking and biking trails that weave through open space and connect to community parks, creating a true outdoor-oriented environment right outside your door. Zoned for top-rated schools, 4055 Plateau is located within a 4-minute drive to the Truckee River, 6 minutes to grocery stores and restaurants, 15 minutes to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, 35 minutes to Truckee, 35 minutes to Mt Rose Ski Area, and 50 minutes to Lake Tahoe.
