8220 Standing Stone Circle,Reno, NV 89523
Reno, NV 89523
Description
Commanding one of the most prominent homesites in The Boulders at Somersett, this extraordinary custom residence, known as Far Niente, has become a landmark within the community. Set high above the surrounding landscape, its distinctive roofline, dramatic stonework, and elevated position create an unforgettable presence long before you arrive at the front door. An oversized gated courtyard welcomes guests and sets the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, walls of glass frame panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada, surrounding valleys, championship golf course, and city lights below. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, rich custom cabinetry, natural stone surfaces, and wide-plank white pine flooring create a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply connected to its mountain setting. At the center of the home, a kitchen as impressive as the views beyond it features a dramatic island, custom cabinetry, Jenn Air appliances, warming drawer, built-in refrigerator, and abundant space to gather, linger, and take in the grand landscape. The primary suite offers a different experience than many luxury homes. Rather than relying on sheer scale, it embraces comfort, warmth, and privacy, creating a peaceful retreat with beautiful natural light, sunrise mountain views, and a spa-inspired bath. Each guest suite enjoys its own bath, while the detached casita provides exceptional flexibility for visitors, multigenerational living, a private office, or creative space. Outside, thoughtfully designed gathering spaces, mature landscaping, fire and water features, and sweeping views create a setting that changes with the seasons, from snow-covered Sierra peaks to sparkling city lights after sunset. Adding a rare touch of wine-country provenance, the property features a monumental grapevine table sourced from Napa Valley's renowned Far Niente Winery and installed by crane on the view terrace, where it remains today as a striking centerpiece for gatherings large and small. A Far Niente-etched boulder at the entrance offers a subtle nod to the home's unique connection to one of Napa's most celebrated estates. Set on one of Somersett's larger homesites, the property enjoys a level of privacy and openness rarely found within the community. The seller also owns the adjoining vacant parcel, which may be purchased separately, presenting a unique opportunity to preserve view corridors, create additional privacy, or secure land for future possibilities. Rarely does a home combine architectural distinction, commanding presence, privacy, and such a remarkable connection to the surrounding landscape. 8220 Standing Stone is more than a luxury residence. It is one of the defining homes within The Boulders.
