Property Description

Nestled in the desirable Sierra Brooks neighborhood, this inviting single story ranch home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on a generous 1.25 acre lot bordering the year round Smithneck Creek. The property includes a barn and a large storage shed. The barn features a 672 square foot workshop ideal for trade work, crafting, or gear storage, while the unfinished bonus room above serves as a blank canvas for an office, guest suite, or creative studio. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to multi use trails perfect for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and motorbike riding—adventure truly begins at your doorstep. The fully fenced, pet friendly grounds include a chicken coop, greenhouse, and raised garden beds, making it easy to cultivate your own produce or raise animals. Located in the quiet, rural community of Loyalton in the Sierra Valley, this home offers peaceful country living with convenient access to larger hubs. Truckee lies roughly 45 minutes to the north, while Reno is an easy drive east, making this an excellent option for remote workers or commuters seeking space, privacy, and a slower pace of life.
