This cozy modern house near Lake Tahoe is cantilevered over a ski run in the Mountainside at Northstar resort and residential community.

"We’re a master planned community with a neighborhood feel," said Ron Barnes, senior strategist for Mountainside Partners.

"You can literally ski off your deck down to the village," he said.

This new, energy-smart house is the only remaining home for sale of the six Stellar Residences, all designed byBohlin Cywinski Jackson, designer of the Apple stores.

"It has modern floor-to-ceiling windows," Mr. Barnes said. "It’s really light and bright and spacious, and it’s very warm, with all in-floor radiant heat."

The four-bedroom house is fully turnkey, with all furnishings included.

The house has two large outdoor decks, one on each level. The lower one is larger, with a hot tub and fire pit. Giant folding doors to the decks make for an indoor-outdoor experience, Mr. Barnes said.

The buyer will likely be someone in technology or finance from the Bay Area who is looking for a second home, Mr. Barnes said. "It’s about a three-and-a-half-hour drive or they can fly in on a private plane."

Winters can bring 60 to 70 feet of snow, with the annual average at about 400 inches, he said. "Winters are pretty mild, with lots of blue-sky days."

"Summers last a long time," he added. "It starts warming up in May and it’s beautiful through the first week of November."
