This isn’t your parents’ mountain house.
Gray’s Crossing in Truckee, California, offers a modern take on mountain living – complete with new construction, contemporary designs and luxury amenities.
The golf-course community consists of five neighborhoods bordered by forestland and set near ski slopes and Lake Tahoe. In addition to the 18-hole championship course, there’s a restaurant, a swimming pool and an on-site fitness facility.
This brand new home overlooks the 14th green and pond and takes in mountain vistas. The striking two-story blends stone, glass and both light and dark hues. A mix of vertical and horizontal wood siding creates visual interest.
Trios of stacked horizontal windows on the doors of the two-car garage underscore the contemporary design. A gently arching driveway and landscaping soften the mass of the house.

Inside, the open-plan living area centers on a sleek fireplace flanked by stone columns. Built-in seating nooks sit on either side. Light wood floors provide a contrast to the dramatic black-and-white design scheme and continue into the dining area and kitchen.
Glass doors and clerestory windows flood the dining room with light. A floating-style staircase leads upstairs.
The bold interiors carry on into the kitchen with white-veined black marble counters and backsplash. High ceilings, a center island and stainless appliances complete the look.
The motif continues in the bedrooms with dark accent walls and ceilings. Corner windows bring in pine views.
The primary suite features its own fireplace. There are four en-suite bedrooms and a bunkroom for a total of five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
Within the 3,591 square feet of living space is an office, a media room, a loft, a rec room and a mud room.
Two decks and patios extend the living space outside. A firepit creates a focal point in an outdoor lounge area. Another portion of patio has bar seating, a built-in barbecue and room for al fresco dining.
