This rustic modern mountain home was designed by Marsden Architects in collaboration with KTG Design Co., nestled on an idyllic 2-acre site in the Martis Camp neighborhood of Truckee, California. Created for a family of four as a year-round retreat, this home has Western-style flair throughout its interiors. Step inside this charming house to find just 1,198 square feet with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, proving small spaces can have a big impact.

The home was designed with a rustic ranch house concept, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that nods to the past while embracing the present. This was achieved by infusing the home with rustic finishes, earthy color palettes, regionally inspired textiles, a blend of vintage furnishings curated from around the world, and custom, one-of-a-kind pieces both inside and out.
