An extraordinary piece of art sculpted out of Canadian Red Cedar trees and logs showcases a one-of-a-kind estate perched on a ridge overlooking Lake Siskiyou with views of Mt. Shasta and the natural beauty of this northern California terrain.
Masterfully crafted with acute attention to every detail, this custom log home by Pioneer Log Homes of British Columbia utilized some of the biggest logs the company has ever used to create a spectacular 7,564-square-foot home with awe-inspiring views from just about every room.
Walls of windows echo the pitch of the vaulted ceilings and welcome an abundance of natural light into the floor plan. The deck, about 1,700 square feet, has a decorative iron railing that offers a front-row seat for the scenic and sunset views and the surrounding 55-acre property.
Enjoy the gas barbecue, log picnic table, and covered gazebo over the hot tub. An additional 1,000-square-foot guest quarters sit over the three-car garage.
At the end of a gated entry and half-mile paved driveway at about 4,000 feet elevation sits this magnificent home completed in 2006 and owned by Boyce Muse and his wife, Joan, founders of Muse Concrete Contractor based in Redding and one of the largest concrete contractors in the state.
Nothing short of a dream destination, this spacious three-level estate with up to seven bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms is ideally designed for a large family to spread out and thrive, multigenerational living, a unique event venue, or a corporate retreat and features multiple interior and exterior entertaining and gathering venues.
Stately tree columns create an impressive entry into this magnificent home with stone and hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and custom fixtures. Step into the main level, boasting a soaring 20-foot ceiling, a two-story stone fireplace, and a carved tree with roots in the middle of the room. Look closely, and you’ll see a bear climbing the tree trunk.
This level also features an office and a chef’s kitchen featuring granite counters, a breakfast bar and counter seating, custom cabinetry, an apron farmhouse sink, and stainless appliances, including a Wolf dual-oven range and a 48-inch French door refrigerator and freezer.
The adjacent dining area is spacious, with sliding French door access to the deck.
The luxurious primary suite on the main level also features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a stove fireplace, and an en suite with a stone floor, a freestanding clawfoot bathtub, a dual-sink vanity, and a seamless glass-enclosed shower with granite slab surround and stone floor. Open the sliding French doors to the deck from this room.
The loft-like second floor offers fabulous flexible-use space, additional sleeping quarters, and a possible game room. Three bedrooms, including two with en suite bathrooms, are located on the lower level just off a living room with a fireplace and a kitchenette.
This private and peaceful setting is zoned for horses and is also conveniently located just 10 minutes from Mount Shasta, five minutes from Lake Siskiyou, and near many recreation opportunities, including the Mount Shasta Resort’s 18-hole golf course, the ski park, fishing in the upper Sacramento and McCloud rivers, hiking and biking trails, climbing, swimming, canoeing, and kayaking.
