This gorgeous SANDBOX-designed home is situated on the banks of Squaw Creek, with views of Squaw Valley Ski Resort from one side and the beautiful Painted Rock from the other. The site is an ideal place for a mountain retreat – private and affording many opportunities for outdoor living. Accordingly, SANDBOX incorporated into the design of the home several upper level ski view decks and a large stone terrace, complete with an outdoor fireplace, stone-clad custom grill and a covered spa. The exterior is clad in locally sourced Sierra Granite and Cedar for a rustic mountain look that blends into the natural setting.

SANDBOX designed this vacation home for a San Francisco Bay Area family. With an open floor plan, tall vaulted spaces throughout, large stone fireplaces in several rooms, heavy timber construction and large glass window walls looking towards the ski area, the owners and their guests will feel as if they have their own private mountain lodge!

The Kitchen showcases beautiful stone slab counters, Alder cabinetry and woodwork, and is the hub of the home. It serves a casual area for dining, the Great Room, as well as a Family Room at the rear of the home, complete with a fireplace of its own and a media center.

All of the bedrooms in the home are suites, with adjoining baths and a spacious feeling. Photo by Vance Fox of a guest bedroom (above) – one of four en suite bedrooms in the home.
Exquisite craftsmanship and custom detailing is prevalent throughout the home, as is evident in the Entry Foyer where boulders penetrate from the outside through the walls to the inside, with one even serving as a support for a bench! Photo (above) by Vance Fox of the Entry Foyer.
