MLS# 226064367 - 20111 Tanglewood Road, Grass Valley, CA 95945

Perched at the private end of an 800-foot driveway, Tanglewood is a masterclass in organic architecture and mountain solitude. Set upon the summit of Woodpecker Ridge amid giant, moss-covered boulders and soaring pines, this estate offers a rare 210-degree unobstructed panorama of Woodpecker Ravine and the valley below. Here, the boundary between nature and home disappears, with large birds drifting on thermals just past your windows, and in the winter, the eastern ridges near Lake Tahoe can be seen blanketed by snow. The residence is defined by a soaring 28-foot vaulted great room where walls of glass frame a sea of trees. A large Jotul wood-burning stove serves as the heart of the home, easily warming the majority of the house during the winter months. Sliding glass doors open to an expansive Travertine stone deck that wraps the south and east sides of the home. This elevated outdoor space is designed for the ultimate ridge-top lifestyle, with ample room for both intimate conversation around a fire pit and dining under the evening moon and stars. From the deck, a scenic 100-foot path winds through the trees and boulders to a secluded eight-person jacuzzi oasis. Positioned on its own matching stone terrace, this retreat offers a detached, immersive natural experience with the same eastern views as the main house. The kitchen is an intuitive blend of professional utility and natural beauty. Mottled green granite and glass tiles mirror the forest outside, while improbably placed windows on the wall bring the forest inside. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, twin Miele ovens, and a 6-burner Thermador cooktop. A solarium-style breakfast nook with a glass ceiling provides the experience of dining alfresco regardless of the season. The upper-level primary retreat also has large eastern-facing windows with spectacular moon and sunrise views over the Sierra Nevada range. The property's infrastructure was fully modernized in 2024, featuring a high efficiency Polaris boiler for luxurious radiant in-floor heat and a 5-ton Bryant (Carrier) central air system, supplemented by a dedicated 3-ton Mitsubishi cooling unit in the primary suite. Tanglewood is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a unique architectural legacy home of quiet majesty and enduring quality for the next generation.
