About this property

Private, Luxurious Tahoe Retreat - 7100 sq ft with mountain views on 81 acres

Luxurious Contemporary, log home located on 81 private acres of secluded woodlands with no neighbors in sight! Perfect for a small retreat for a family or group, an intimate gathering or event and significant celebration moments too. Close to downtown Truckee, ski mountains and 30 minute drive to Reno.

We are a quiet mountaintop estate with Eagles, Deer, Bears and Chipmunks amongst other wildlife for company. Enjoy a hike on the property, bike the back roads of our gated community, or simply enjoy the mountain and reservoir views from the expansive decks.

So much beauty to behold and so much fun and relaxation to be enjoyed in our 7000+ square foot, 7 bedroom and 5.5 bathroom contemporary log home, featuring curated modern art collection, amenities such as Marshall speakers in bedrooms, airplay to speakers on outdoor decks, full entertainment adult lounge, home gym, home theater with surround sound, hot tub, cold plunge, fire pit and sauna.

Enjoy conversation and roast s'mores around the large propane fire pit. Sunsets are best enjoyed from the hot tub on the large stone deck. Plenty of fun for kids to be had on the outdoor playground in front of our home. We recently added a bike pump track on the property too which will be added to in spring to become inclusive to professional bikers and novices alike.

We are seeking permission to build a recreation and wellness center which when completed will feature a massage and bodywork area, hyperbaric chamber, floatation tank and Resonate vibrational beds which use sound vibration and light for healing. There will also be an extensive work out area with a peloton bike, step up trainer, professional row trainer, weights and a stretching area too.

The magnificent high vaulted ceilings in the Living Room and grand open floor plan spans into the large kitchen with island and all of the equipment to cook up amazing meals in the dining area that can seat 16+ guests.

Amazing stay
This is our second time staying in this beautiful home. It has an amazing fireplace, spacious living room, dining space and kitchen. All the bedrooms have comfortable beds and sheets and pillows. The hot tub, sauna and cold plunge are wonderful amenities. The outdoor space is perfect for kids to play in the snow and just run around. Rachel, the property manager is the best, super friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful Family Getaway
We had 3 families, 7 adults and 7 kids from ages 3 to 13. It was a dream vacation. The house has large common areas and a great kitchen. The property is secluded and hilly -- a perfect place for kids to spend hours sledding every day.The house was large enough for some of the kids to have some quiet time while others watched movies or played pool.The whole experience was a treat and I'm looking forward to the next time we visit.

Lovely, spacious property
Plenty of room at this beautiful home for our 18-person get-together. We were hoping to ski, but the weather was uncooperative, so the home was our retreat.Out-of-the-way from resort traffic, and very private. Nonetheless, it's close enough to the slopes, hiking, and town.The house is very comfortable, with great common areas, helpful appliances, and a great array of dishware. It was wonderful to cook and relax here with friends.We had a couple relatively minor issues, which the owner and liaison addressed. Liz and Rachel communicated well and were clearly concerned with our comfort during our stay. Great place to make memories with friends.

Wonderful big home on a beautiful parcel of Land
This is a very special home, with wonderful property caretakers who are sweet, helpful, and quick to help if needed. We highly recommend this for big groups who seek their own private space while also wanting a big and spacious great room and kitchen to have everyone together. Everything is well stocked, and the technology is state-of-the-art and easy to use. We will be back. Thanks again Rachel

Beautiful and Remote - Everything You Could Want
We booked this beautiful location for a small wedding and for the family/friends to stay in before, during, and after the celebration. Everyone wishes they could have stayed longer! It was absolutely amazing. We have stayed in multiple large houses over the years for family reunions- this was by far the nicest and best appointed one we have stayed in. Everyone had a great time, from the hot tub to the cold plunge, the spacious rooms to the family accommodating dining table. The views from the house and property were matched by the peace and quiet we all felt while there. We would love to be able to stay again in the future!

Excellent Family Dream Vacation Retreat
Hacienda De Leyenda was the PERFECT location for our family's dream vacation retreat. It definitely lived up to its awesome & outstanding reviews and ratings. We were a family of 16 and this place accommodated us perfectly with more than enough room for all. Our host, Rachel, was very nice and helpful. She was just a text away, if we had any questions or concerns. Our family had a wonderful time making use of the various amenities they have there -jacuzzi, sauna, exercise spaces & equipment, massive kitchen, gourmet coffee & espresso machine, pool table & entertainment basement and more! This place truly felt like a "Home away from Home" and provided our extended family with an ideal place to make many fun filled, lasting memories that we'll be sure to treasure for a lifetime! We couldn't have found a more ideal location and would highly recommend Hacienda De Leyenda to any families looking to do the same. We would definitely hope to return there one day in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Liz

Host profile image
We were married back in July 2019 in the Napa Valley and our one true love is travel and bringing people together. Hacienda de Leyenda is our dream and vision of creating beautiful, curated spaces for gatherings, whether it be families, friends, a small corporate retreat, small intimate wedding or a wellness retreat. We plan on creating new retreats in Ibiza (Spain), Byron Bay hinterland (NSW Australia), Hokkaido region (Japan), San Miguel de Allende (Mexico) as well as expanding in the US beyond Woodstock, NY and Truckee, CA.

Why they chose this property

Its location heading towards Martis Peak is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of life that we are sometimes weighed down by. Surrounded by nature and with stunning sunsets, our home has been designed with all the modern amenities for a premium and very private experience, unparalleled in the north Tahoe region.

We are geographically located conveniently to the ski mountains, the north and west side of Lake Tahoe, the beautiful town of Truckee and a short 30 minutes drive to Reno International airport.

We have extended our property by adding a sauna, cold plunge, fire pit and we also put up two large lotus belle tents in the summer months which are fully styled in a Moroccan Bedouin feel. Each Lotus Belle tent has a full king bed, chill out area and a day bed too. Please ask for more details on the tents as they are used to support larger group bookings for our property but do incur an additional charge for rental and cleaning.

We have two large paved terraces on two different levels that lend themselves perfectly for outdoor dining and banquets, a small reception or a wellness program including yoga, pilates or meditation.

What makes this property unique

* Large paved terrace areas for small and intimate gatherings
* Spa, cold plunge, fire-pit and sauna for the ultimate nordic experience
* Contemporary LA style lounge space on lower level of property
* Huge balcony with stone topped tables/benches for outdoor dining
* Marshall Bluetooth speakers and airplay available throughout the property
* Two 20 foot Lotus Belle tents for Moroccan style glamping (on request, additional cleaning and setup fees apply and must be requested in advance)
