Located within the gated community of St. James’s Village, this single-level mountain retreat offers exceptional privacy with direct access to miles of HOA-maintained hiking trails along Browns Creek and the surrounding Sierra landscape. Set on an oversized corner lot with sweeping views of Slide Mountain surrounded by mature pines and rear property open space. Soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive windows, solid hardwood flooring, and custom alder doors and cabinetry create a warm yet refined interior. At the heart of the great room, and a rare wood-burning fireplace serves as a striking focal point. The European-inspired kitchen features custom solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, farmhouse sink, high-end Thermador and Miele appliances, and a breakfast bar. Recent upgrades include a Phillips Hue smart lighting system, new interior paint, new carpet in the bedrooms, and extensive landscaping. The private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-style bath. Ensuite guest bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while the fourth bedroom is currently configured as a bonus/media room complete with a custom bar and Sub-Zero wine storage—perfect for entertaining or flexible guest use. The three-car garage is thoughtfully upgraded with epoxy floors, fresh paint, Pure water filtration system, and an instant hot water system. Outdoor living is designed for both relaxation and gathering, with multiple patios, indoor and outdoor surround sound, mature landscaping including fruit trees, copper heated gutters, engineered rooftop snow stays, large dog run, horseshoe pits, and a wood-fired oven.
