14998 Russel Valley Drive

Truckee, CA 96161

Set on over 22 acres at the very end of a quiet road, this Russell Valley property offers the rare blend of total privacy, expansive mountain views, and land that is both wild and thoughtfully improved. Bordering protected Forest Service land, this peaceful hilltop retreat opens up to panoramic vistas of Mount Rose and Northstar, with no neighboring rooftops in sight. The home offers just under 2,500 square feet of warm, functional living space designed to support both comfort and flexibility. There are four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a home office, and a large open loft, providing plenty of room for full-time living, multi generational use, or creative work-from-home setups. In-floor hydronic heating keeps the home cozy during the winter months, while underground utilities ensure uninterrupted views and a clean aesthetic. The lower level of the home presents an excellent opportunity for conversion into a separate living area, guest suite, or income-generating apartment. This is a property designed for self-sufficiency and connection to the land. The current setup supports a true homesteading lifestyle, with existing infrastructure for raising animals including chickens, goats, pigs, or horses. A greenhouse, garden beds, and fruiting apple trees make it easy to cultivate food on-site, and the land itself invites expansion—more orchards, berry patches, a second dwelling, or simply space to roam. A whole-house generator provides energy security and peace of mind. Russell Valley is beloved for its quietude, wildlife, and year-round recreation. From your doorstep, enjoy quick access to Prosser, Boca, and Stampede reservoirs for fishing, boating, and camping. Dirt bike trails and snowmobile routes are just minutes away, and the open space surrounding the home means your adventures begin right outside the front door. Though it feels worlds away, the property is located just 20 minutes from the dining, shopping, and schools of downtown Truckee. Reno is an easy 45-minute drive for travel, medical, and cultural amenities. Here, you are truly able to live a rural, off-the-beaten-path lifestyle without sacrificing essential access or convenience. This is more than just a home. It is a private ranch, a legacy property, and a canvas for a simpler, more intentional life in the mountains.
