Nixon Mansion
In brief, the Nixon Mansion awaits in all its glory for the most discerning real estate investor who seeks a sanctuary of timeless tranquility.
Distinctively Designed There are few opportunities in America where a historic landmark estate is completely rebuilt from the “ground-up”yet still retains its iconic magnificence of yesteryear. The meticulous implementation of that vision was effected with unyielding dedication. The resultant masterpiece - from the classic Italian roof tiles, to the interior’s imitable Mahogany craftsmanship, and restored artifacts throughout- the Nixon Mansion is nothing short of breathtakingly beautiful. Built in 1907 for a U.S. Senator, the estate was one of Northern Nevada’s first private estates that welcomed dignitaries from all over the world to enjoy its stately setting high above the clear, cool waters of the Truckee River. Today, the Nixon Mansion is a brand new home that has been fully reconstructed with matchless elegance wrapped with the finest details, technology, and classic architectural features in one of the most sought after regions in the West. With expansive views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, to the bustling downtown of Reno and 206 feet of private river front property, this distinctive Italian Villa encompasses all the facets of luxurious living, indoors and out, and is ready to welcome its first residents as a private estate or corporate retreat.

Senator George Stuart Nixon circa 1940
Rich in History The Nixon Mansion was built in 1907 on land purchased from U.S. Senator Francis Newlands by U.S. Senator George S. Nixon - five years before he died. Senator Nixon amassed his fortune from the ground up, starting at an entry position in banking. His business partner was George Wingfield, a renowned developer in Reno’s history. In 1920, the Mansion was purchased by Dr. William Johnston and his wife – daughter of U.S. Senator Francis Newlands and granddaughter of Senator William Sharon. In the last years of her life, Mrs. Johnston managed the Palace Hotel in San Francisco that she inherited from Senator Sharon. When the Mansion was built it had 33 rooms that included 11 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and 7 fireplaces. It was one of the first early homes in Reno to have an elevator. In the mid 1970s, the property was purchased by a physician who had his sights of moving his medical practice to this historic property. However, a devastating fire in 1979 rendered the home uninhabitable. In 2002 the home was purchased by its present owner who dedicated ten heartfelt and painstaking years to redesign and rebuild what is without question a landmark estate that overflows with time-honored history, characteristic architecture and classic elegance and grace.

Reno Highlights
Tahoe Highlights
Reno is located 39.53 latitude and -119.81 longitude and is situated at elevation 4,400 feet above sea level. It’s population of 225,221 makes it the 3rd biggest city in Nevada. It is 180 miles from San Francisco via Interstate 80. Nestled at the base of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountains, Reno bills itself as “The Biggest Little City in the World”. Formerly known for gaming at many casinos, its popularity has shifted to emphasis on the arts, a resort-like experience in its major hotels, special events and is a gateway for all kinds of outdoor adventures, from climbing the mountains, to camping, fishing and boating in the Truckee Meadows/Lake Tahoe region.
Within 40 minutes of Reno, Lake Tahoe is North America’s largest alpine lake, measuring 12 miles wide, 22 miles long and 72 miles around. It is the third deepest lake in the world with an average depth of 989 feet and is two- thirds in California and one-third in Nevada. Its capacity is 122,000,000 acre-feet, enough to cover the state of California with more than one foot of water.
Reno offers a Philharmonic Orchestra, Nevada Opera, Nevada Ballet, Reno Chamber Orchestra and the accredited Nevada Museum of Art. It is also home to the University of Nevada Reno. With a strong Western spirit all its own, the Biggest Little City offers wonderful farmers’ markets, great restaurants, and the annual event of Hot August Nights followed by the Great Reno Balloon Race in September, both big draw for both tourists and locals. Nearby Historic Virginia City takes one back to pioneer days of the silver mines. The Reno Tahoe International Airport, serving the Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe/Truckee area, continues to increase its direct service destinations.
Because of several decades of stringent growth and development ordinances, the lake remains 99.7 percent pure. The average surface temperature of the water varies from 41º in winter to 68º in summer and never freezes. The forecast for Lake Tahoe’s weather is 84% chance of sunshine in any Season. With low humidity, average winter temperatures are 40-50º and 70-75º in the summer. Although snowfall fluctuates from year to year, average is 350 inches. Tahoe’s many recreational activities include golfing, hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, sailing, biking and horseback riding. And in the winter, Lake Tahoe proves its reputation as one of the world’s finest year-round playgrounds with America’s highest concentration of ski resorts (14), including Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows, Northstar California, Heavenly Valley, Sugar Bowl, Diamond Peak and Kirkwood. In addition, the Tahoe region, including Truckee, California, is known for its restaurants, art galleries, shopping and bistros.
