LOCATION:
The Truckee River House is a riverfront retreat on the Truckee River, a blue ribbon fishery, and has a beautiful view of the river and mountains. The river is about 100 yards from the house. In addition, there are several other nice rivers and lakes nearby within 10 miles. The house is about 8 miles from Historic old town Truckee, 20 miles to the best Tahoe ski resorts, and many beautiful natural places including Donner Lake, Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe National Forest. The City of Reno and the Reno International Airport are just 30 miles away.

DESCRIPTION:
The Truckee River House is a cozy river front home with beautiful sweeping views of the Truckee River and mountains. A hidden gem in a small, secluded, and serene neighborhood. Recent modern mountain renovations and furnishings mix with vintage historic finishes from the 1890's and other renovations to create a playful mix of modern and rustic mountain style. The structure and systems have all been updated and the house is fully equipped with modern conveniences, just relax and enjoy the mountains.

FISHING YEAR ROUND
Here you will find some of the best fishing water that the Truckee River has to offer, and the river is literally right in the back of the house! Access the river at any public bridge (Hirschdale bridge is 100 yards from the house), from access points along the Tahoe Pyramid Trail which parallels the river from Lake Tahoe all the way to Pyramid Lake in Reno, or at the California Conservancy lands and other public access points (access maps available at fishing shops & online). Water access at the bridge is a five minute walk from the house - the bridge can be seen from the house. From the bridge, a short and steep dirt trail must be navigated to reach the river. There are other access points nearby with easier access. The Truckee River can be fished year round! There are also several other great fisheries nearby. Fly fishing, Skiing, Paddling, Swimming, Biking, Hiking, Climbing, Adventure, Peace, Nature, and more, all right outside the door, a true nature lovers paradise!

UPSTAIRS BEDROOMS: New floors and mattresses, upstairs sleeps 8 people in beds. 3 Bedrooms: one king and two queens, plus twin bunk beds. 2 Bathrooms: whirlpool bath and shower in master bedroom, shower in guest bathroom.

The deck is gated in 2 places - good for keeping small children and dogs contained. Because the house is built into the hillside, the back deck is on the 2nd story with great views and stairs down to the back yard.

FRONT ENTRY HALL:
New remodel with metal and glass door, skylight, oak live edge bench, tile floors, plenty of room to move, hooks and storage for gear, and some of the original vintage 120 year old wood beadboard walls saved for their charm and history.

FRONT YARD: Heated concrete steps from the driveway to the front door so you don't have to shovel snow. Covered metal grate bridge, and covered patio with seating and firewood storage. Moss covered granite boulders and native plants are spread through the natural landscape. Chunky wood post and beam construction with concrete and metal work update this attractive new addition.

DOWNSTAIRS LEVEL - Recent remodel with a modern mountain mixed with mountain rustic style. New stair and metal railing from the upper level. Amenities downstairs include 1 bedroom with a king bed, walk in closet, and large lounge window bench. The separate bathroom has a luxurious 2 person shower and heated concrete floor. There is a big open living room with views of the river and mountains, a rustic rock fireplace with modern gas stove, bar / kitchenette with seating for 4, a sectional sofa in front of a the fireplace with a 46” flat screen TV, premium TV channel package, and AppleTV box allows you to stream your media. A second sectional sofa with coffee table makes a great gaming area. A very nice full size pool table completes this large open living room!

OTHER AMENITIES: forced air heat (no air conditioning), endless hot water supply (tankless) so everyone can have a hot shower or soak in the whirlpool bath after a day of skiing. Washer and dryer, cell phone service is good (no land line), and high-speed wireless internet (200mbps down / 20mbps up) with unlimited data (in Truckee service outages may be more frequent and speeds are inconstant.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION: The County has begun construction to replace two bridges in the Hirschdale neighborhood. They say construction times are restricted to daytime work hours and that noise, pollution, and traffic measures will be in place. The replacement may take up tp two years, summer 2025 to 2027. These bridges are a few hundred yards from the house and can be seen from the house. Construction may impact guests staying at this house from time to time. Pedestrian access across the bridges and river access will be provided during construction. Guests do not need to cross these bridges to access the house or other local attractions. The road beyond the bridge only provides access to the rock quarry and a few residences, it ends after about a mile and there is no parking down there, so you aren't going to miss out on anything!
NOTE: no refunds for impacts caused by construction by others.
MORE INFO about the bridge project: dokkenbridges.com/hirschadale-bridges
COMPLAINTS about bridge construction should be directed to Nevada County to the person listed in the website above.
Please contact the owner/property manager if you would like to discuss this.

Beautiful Lake Home

House is so spacious and beautiful. Riaz is very prompt with his responses and accommodating to the changes with my reservation. Check in, check out and house rules are very clear and given in a timely manner.There are plenty of amenities in the home.It took us a bit to find a safe way down to the river but once we did, it was beautiful and fun for the little ones. About a 30 min driving distance to Lake Tahoe and/or Reno. Would definitely stay again!Thank you Riaz.

Very Nice

This I think is our third time staying. We are parents and grandparents. That included 8 of us. Lots of room for all of us. Though the weather wasn’t what we were looking forward to we all had a great time. Kitchen has all a family could use. Beds were comfy too. The house has had a nice update with a new kitchen theme New paint in the living area has given it a new vibe.

Great getaway

Great place to get away and relax, close enough to Reno, but far enough away to feel out of the city. Great setup with rooms and common areas, and the furniture and built-ins are a perfect aesthetic. The separate bar area downstairs is a great way to be able to separate groups if needed. A great property overall.

A wonderful house with a great location. The view from the deck of the river and mountains was breathtaking. There was a trail to the river (challenging for an 80 year old) that was fun for dipping and fly fishing. The kitchen was well equipped and our meals on the deck were great.
