"The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building." -Louis Kahn . . . . Set at the end of Dream Sky Way in Nevada City, its name conceived by the original homeowner, now held as a quiet legacy, your arrival carries a lucid, quiet calm. A circular drive centers around an established golden maple, creating symmetry and calm before the home reveals itself. Designed and built as a personal residence by an internationally published, award-winning architect, the home reflects a disciplined approach to proportion, light, and material. Inside, the home opens to sweeping northwest views with layered vistas stretching across the horizon. Mornings arrive privately over the ridge, with soft early light transitioning into expansive afternoon and evening exposure that fills the living spaces. The material palette is warm and enduring. A beautifully patinated lifetime metal roof reads as a record of time and exposure, adding depth and character that cannot be replicated. Outdoor living is thoughtfully composed. An ironwood deck extends from the rear of the home, offering a durable space to take in the views, while a covered patio provides a more intimate setting for dining and gathering. Mature landscaping and seasonal color abound create a quiet sense of movement throughout the year, giving the property a subtle, almost storybook quality. Complete irrigation supports the grounds with ease and consistency. The 3-acre parcel offers usable space with a small orchard and natural terrain that blends seamlessly into the surroundings. An adjacent 18-acre BLM mining claim, with rights exercised by the seller for over 35 years, extends the landscape and reinforces long-term privacy. Just five minutes to downtown Nevada City, with easy access to the Yuba River, Tahoe, and the greater Sierra. Fiber internet is impending. Sound design includes redwood exterior, dual solar/electric water heaters, roof fire sprinklers, and whole-home backup generator. Dream Sky is a place where time settles gently, and generations gather, return, and carry lasting memories forward. The next chapter begins here.
