The Red Sky Magazine 'Dream House' by Taliesin

Gold Mountain is the location of the original Life Magazine "Dream House" designed by John Rattenbury.

The Red Sky Dream House, located along the 16th fairway of the Dragon Golf Course at the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Nakoma Golf Resort is a significantly expanded and superbly enhanced version of the original prototype.

Compared to the orignal, the Red Sky Dream House offers an enlarged great Room (notice the 7' grand piano), a billiards/library room with sunken bar that also serves the full length deck (partially covered) overlooking the golf course, large studio overlooking the Nakoma 16th fairway and green, huge master walk-in closet, enlarged master bath, two 'Ultra' spa tubs, high light decks above 8' doors, ultra high efficiency 'Xtraordinaire' wood burning fireplace (with catalytic converter; capable of heating the entire home!) ... and more. The home is heated and air-conditioned by a high-efficiency geothermal ground-source heat pump system for very low operating cost and extremely quiet operation.

The Red Sky Dream House is featured in The House For Life. This independent site is intended to provide a repository for information and images of the many interpretations of Rattenbury’s House For Life design and for similar homes built along the lines of those expounded in Rattenbury’s recent book bearing the same name. (Do you know where and when the first Life Magazine Dream House was built?)

Whether you are looking for a "move-in ready" dream vacation home or second home, or an eye-popping view lot or golf course lot to build your vision, the real estate presented in Gold Mountain Home could very well exceed your expectations.

Where is Gold Mountain, the Nakoma Golf Resort, and the Dragon Golf Course?

Gold Mountain properties are a one hour beautiful drive from Truckee and Lake Tahoe just beyond, one hour to "The-Biggest-Little-City-in-the-World" Reno, at 5000 feet in the breathtaking California Sierra, among mature pine and cedar trees, between the scenic Middle Fork of the Feather River and the outdoor wonderland Plumas National Forest, near the getaway village of Graeagle. Gold Mountain is a gated community planned by Taliesin, the continuing architectural firm of Frank Lloyd Wright. The surrounding area has something for everyone: golfing at the Nakoma Golf Resort, fishing, hiking, biking, hunting, skiing, boating and kayaking in Lakes Basin, snow shoeing, amazing star gazing, dining, and shopping in nearby Graeagle.

About Plumas County and Graeagle

Graeagle is the quintessential Sierra mountain village. Originally a logging town, Graeagle is now a wonderful boutique shopping village as well as an idyllic setting for local fairs, jazz concerts, and simply lazy afternoon floating on the Old Mill Pond.

The area is renowned for its fabulous Sierra golf courses. The Nakoma® Golf Resort, with its 18-hole Robin Nelson-designed Dragon course, challenges even the best of golfers and gives high-handicappers a collection of excuses to share at the beautiful Nakoma clubhouse (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1924). Having a hard time on the undulating greens? No problem, take in the stunning Sierra views and breathe the fresh mountain air, and all will be well. Also try the beautiful White Hawk, located in the beautiful Whitehawk Ranch community, and Graeagle Meadows golf courses each located about 15 minutes from Gold Mountain.

Plumas County is famous for its mountain / meadow majesty. You will find no area in the world more beautiful than the Plumas National Forest Lakes Basin region 20 minutes from Gold Mountain. And so unspoiled and uncrowded like Lake Tahoe used to be decades ago!
