Seller offering 15,000 dollar credit to buyer for acceptable offers. Set on over 10 acres in the Virginia City Highlands, this custom-built log home combines quality craftsmanship with the serenity of mountain living. This hand crafted home carries a warm cabin feel while offering modern comfort and scale. Thoughtfully positioned, it captures sweeping views of the Sierra Nevadas and foothills from every room. The impact of these views sets in the moment you enter, moving through the great room and onto the expansive wraparound deck—the home's focal point for outdoor living, gatherings, and quiet moments simply enjoying the unmatched vistas. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive windows highlight the home's open design. A floor-to-ceiling, hand-crafted, wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the main living area, while the chef's kitchen offers upgraded appliances, a large island, and ample storage. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, its own floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and direct access to the padded deck. The ensuite bath includes a walk-in shower and jetted tub. A nearby spiral staircase leads to a loft with skylights, providing a flexible bonus space. The walkout daylight basement adds a massive family room with room for a bar, two additional bedrooms, and another floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. With over 10 acres to explore, the property invites ATV or snowmobile use, or simply the quiet of its high-desert setting. Access requires a 4WD or high-profile vehicle, but the destination rewards with some of the best views in the Highlands. Please follow directions listed not where maps will bring you. The home requires TLC and is priced to reflect its condition and the repairs that may be needed. The seller will make no repairs, and the property is offered strictly as is. Septic and well have been inspected and those reports, as well as other disclosures regarding the home's known overall condition, are available in the Docs tab. Well is currently operable - identified issues are mostly recommendations.
