Colfax, CA 95713
Set against breathtaking canyon views, this extraordinary retreat spans just over 100 acres across seven parcels and showcases exceptional architectural design, craftsmanship, and globally sourced materials. Built with 13.5-inch concrete walls, dual-pane windows, cement tile roofing, and engineered hardwood radiant-heated floors, the home combines remarkable construction with distinctive details throughout. Eleven-foot ceilings, substantial mahogany trim, French doors, internationally sourced alabaster and bronze sconces, and a dramatic mahogany spiral staircase create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Reclaimed architectural elements include a front door frame crafted from a 200-year-old teak bench, an ornate teak beam from a mosque in Java, and staircase posts from a 19th-century New York City brownstone. The boat-galley-inspired kitchen features solid mahogany cabinetry and a Viking range. Two spacious primary suites provide a luxurious retreat, with thoughtfully designed travertine tile work in the bathrooms and direct access to the outdoors and patio areas. The lower level is designed for entertaining with a wine cellar, competition pool table, custom shuffleboard, and stunning mahogany bar from an early 1900s hotel. Elements from Auburn's historic Shanghai Bar have also been thoughtfully incorporated, preserving a unique piece of local history. Infrastructure includes multiple high-producing wells, an owned 40-panel solar array, eight lithium batteries, and a Generac generator, providing fully off-grid capabilities and energy independence. The acreage offers access to Brushy Creek, a spectacular 25-foot waterfall, and a 50% interest in a parcel along the North Fork American River, with potential for gold prospecting. Outdoor amenities include a covered BBQ and bar with intricate Indonesian mosaics, canyon-view patio, vegetable garden, koi pond, horseshoe pit, and Zen garden. An eight-car garage/shop, metal carport, storage container, and one-bedroom, one-bath ADU provide exceptional flexibility for vehicles, projects, guests, caretakers, or a home office. A truly irreplaceable property where extraordinary craftsmanship, local history, privacy, and forward-thinking infrastructure converge.
