22130 Phoenix Lake Rd

This home was designed and built by one of Tuolumne county's most respected contractors. On the main floor is the Great Room, characterized by the structural hand hewed, mortised and tenoned timber frame trusses. These massive 8x12 and 8x8 timbers soar to 20' giving a sense of space, strength, and authentic rusticity. At one end of the Great room, contrasting the timber trusses, is a full height "Eisenwall" polished cement fire place. This high efficiency gas fire place is ducted to provide heat not only to the Great Room, but also to the Master Suite and downstairs bedroom. At the other end of the Great Room is the Kitchen/ Dining area. From here you can look to the west and see panoramic sunset views, as well as the city lights of Oakdale/Modesto. On clear days you can see across the entire Central Valley to the beginnings of the coastal ranges. The Dining area windows frame a view of nearby "Crystall Falls", a nearly 200' tall waterfall cascading over a granite cliff, which usually runs most of the year. Distressed maple cabinets, crisp quartz counter tops, hand made classic white subway tile splashes, Grohe industrial style sink faucet, microwave drawer, and black stainless refrigerator continue the contemporary/rustic theme in the Kitchen area. Directly off the Great Room is the upper level roof Patio, again with panoramic views, dining and BBQ areas, quartz stone gas fire pit, and see-through stainless cable railing system. Also on the main floor, the Master Suite features vaulted ceilings, a view to the waterfall, radiant slate floors in the bathroom/laundry area, a door-less dual head shower, separate tub, "Badeloft" vessel sinks, Grohe plumbing fixtures, a large walk-in closet, and built-in cabinetry in the dressing area. The second Bedroom and the adjacent Guest Bath are on the main floor as well. The bathroom features a "Badeloft" floating sloped sink with a linear drain, large shower, and built-in storage. The bedroom has panoramic views to the city light and sunsets. Downstairs is the third Bedroom, also with views to the city lights and sunsets. This bedroom features a unique German designed and built "Zoom Bed" which by remote control slides out and back into built-in cabinetry at the push of a button. This allows the bedroom to be converted into a Theater Room/Game Room within a minute if desired. Adjacent to this bedroom is another Bathroom with a very large shower, laundry area, and of course all Ghroe fixtures. Also on the lower level is the 3-car Garage. Features here include quiet belt drive garage door openers, and tinted glass panel bronze framed garage doors which bring in lots of light and provide yet another panoramic view. The house is insulated extremely well with closed cell sprayed-in foam in the Great Room ceiling and fiberglass insulation elsewhere. High efficiency central air and heat and a tank-less water heater with a built-in circulating pump also increase efficiency. The home is located at the 3700' elevation on 3+ rolling/steep private acres directly off a main paved county road. A 300' concrete private driveway leads up to the house. This elevation is considered by many in the area as the "perfect" elevation in that it provides a 4-season climate with very minimal nuisance with the snow. At this elevation you are still able to plant a vineyard, and the is room and proper exposure for one on the slope just below the house. There is also room for a Shop/ Barn accessed by a separate driveway, and with some creativity an infinity edge pool overlooking that vineyard. It is truly a unique property. Come have a look.
