By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Homes designed around the outdoors, privacy, and everyday recreation. Panoramic settings—from Fresno’s bluff and river to Redding’s Lassen Range vistas—shape interiors that open easily to patios, pools, and gardens. Lodi contributes turn-of-the-century character refreshed by a 2023 renovation, with an ADU that adds flexibility. Sacramento offers a Carmel-like oasis on nearly an acre, while Verdi positions itself as a Reno–Truckee basecamp.

From its elevated setting along the Bluff, this McCaffrey custom home frames panoramic views of the Lake San Joaquin River, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and city lights beyond. In the exclusive Bellaviera neighborhood, arrival is a quiet ritual: olive tree-lined cobblestone paths lead to interiors defined by craftsmanship—soaring vaulted ceilings, large porcelain tile with stone inlay, wrought iron stair rails, and dentil-style crown molding throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully composed with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, an oversized island with breakfast bar, and a beautifully crafted custom range hood. Upstairs, the primary suite opens to a private balcony, inviting sunrise coffee and night-sky reflections. Outdoors, entertaining unfolds around a built-in BBQ island, a sparkling pool with waterfall, lion water features, and a gazebo dining area. Owned solar, two heat pumps, an EV charger, surround sound, and RV/boat parking complete the experience.

The kitchen is thoughtfully planned with hard rock maple cabinetry, Corian counters, a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, and a five-burner gas cooktop, plus distinct breakfast and built-in desk areas.

A wall of glass opens to a full-length covered patio, lawn, and your own stream, with an oversized garage, breezeway, and a sound-proofed studio outbuilding for whatever you imagine next.

Stella Higginbotham

Along the Stateline corridor off Highway 80 between Reno and Truckee, this Verdi setting sits at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, placing daily life in easy reach of big-sky scenery and outdoor ritual. Days can begin with nature hikes and the quiet pleasure of spotting local wildlife, then shift seamlessly into winter pursuits with nearby skiing. When the weather turns warm, lakes provide a natural counterpoint—an invitation to slow down, wander, and spend long afternoons outside. Despite the strong connection to nature, nearby Reno keeps everyday conveniences within comfortable distance, balancing retreat-like surroundings with practical access. It’s a location that encourages a year-round rhythm: trail time, snow days, and lake days, all framed by the Sierra.
