Truckee Modern Cabin

Set in the alpine splendor of Schaffer’s Mill—between historic Truckee and the crystalline waters of Lake Tahoe—this custom residence is a thoughtful harmony of mountain modern architecture and refined livability. Clean rooflines, warm cedar, hand-laid stone, and steel accents create a timeless silhouette that mirrors the surrounding Sierra landscape.

Inside, expansive windows flood the vaulted great room with filtered alpine light, framing views of towering pines. A dramatic stone fireplace, sculptural chandelier, and open library loft lend warmth and depth, while natural materials ground the space in its setting.

Thoughtful details—like the moody downstairs dining nook, serene spa-like bath, and playful bunk room—bring refined function to every corner. Terraced landscaping, elevated decks, and seamless transitions blur the line between indoors and out.

Rooted in place and crafted with intention, this home reflects the enduring beauty of its mountain surroundings—and the architectural artistry behind every line, form, and finish.
