About This Property

Welcome to La Mirada Ranch, an exceptional 21-acre legacy estate nestled within the exclusive, gated enclave of Juniper Creek Ranch. Surrounded by the natural splendor of Lake Tahoe's high country, this luxurious custom-built mountain retreat offers unmatched privacy, panoramic views, and endless possibilities for recreation and relaxation. Set on one of the premier parcels in the community—10 acres of which are nearly level—this property is ideal for equestrian use, outdoor adventure, or simply enjoying the vast open space. The 3,850 sq ft main residence is a timeless blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort, featuring 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an inviting great room anchored by a soaring floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace and expansive views of the lake and surrounding mountains. For more details visit www.lamiradaranch.com. The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, complete with high-end appliances and custom cabinetry, which opens into a sunny breakfast nook and a formal dining area—perfect for entertaining or intimate gatherings. Knotty pine walls, exposed beams, and towering ceilings create a warm, lodge-like atmosphere throughout the main living space. Each bedroom features a private en-suite bath, including the luxurious primary suite with its own fireplace, dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower, and a private office overlooking the forest—a dream for remote work or creative retreat. Upstairs, a spacious multi-use lodge loft offers room for a pool table, home theater, or game room. Two thoughtfully designed private bedroom suites take advantage of the stunning mountain and lake views. Above the attached three-car garage, a large bonus suite with full bath provides incredible flexibility—ideal as a guest apartment or separate entry rental opportunity. The deck is perfectly situated with views of the mountains to the north and splendid views of Boca and Stampede Lake. The meticulously maintained two-acre lawn is a showstopper—perfect for events or peaceful wildlife viewing, complete with frequent visits from local deer and forest creatures. Additional structures include a detached garage/workshop, housing a Case tractor and tools for year-round maintenance. The property is fully equipped with two wells (household and irrigation), three oversized propane tanks, and dedicated gas and diesel storage. Zoned for horses and surrounded by miles of riding trails, this property is a dream for equestrian lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a true mountain lifestyle. Ride dirt bikes or ATVs across the private trail system, or explore nearby Martis Peak, Boca Lake, and the Truckee River—ideal for fly fishing, watersports, hiking, and more. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Truckee, La Mirada Ranch offers the best of both worlds: seclusion, serenity, and proximity to all the adventure and amenities of Lake Tahoe. This once in a lifetime property would make a stunning wedding site, horse ranch, or multi generational family compound. If you're seeking a rare opportunity to own a true Tahoe retreat—whether as a private family compound, equestrian ranch, or mountain getaway—La Mirada Ranch delivers the space, setting, and soul to create your legacy.
