Set on an extraordinary 14 acres in the heart of Reno, the Pennington Mansion stands as one of Nevada's most iconic trophy estates. Properties of this scale simply do not exist this close to town, offering unmatched convenience paired with absolute seclusion, commanding elevation, and arguably the finest city views in all of Reno. Perched on a high plateau, the residence overlooks the entire skyline and valley, delivering cinematic, unobstructed vistas by day and a dazzling city-light show by night. A dramatic rotunda entry with soaring Venetian plaster ceilings sets the stage, opening to a grand living room anchored by a statement fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows framing those signature views. The home spans 19,000+ square feet of refined living space, crafted with rare stones, exotic woods, and globally sourced materials. Its impeccable, ornate craftsmanship is designed to astonish even the most discerning buyer. Woven into every inch of the estate are coffered and barreled ceilings, ironclad windows wrapped in dramatic drapery and enhanced with custom automatic shades, gorgeous multi-step baseboards and moldings, solid-core grand entry doors finished with limestone trim, and grand-scale architectural columns. The west wing hosts a resort-caliber primary suite complete with a sitting room, one-of-a-kind custom onyx fireplace, private veranda, spa-style bath with multi-step finished cabinetry, his and her commodes, and a sumptuous walk-in closet with private laundry and fully enclosed custom wardrobes, delivering an elevated, boutique-inspired dressing retreat. A richly appointed executive office with warm burl wood box-trim paneling, custom cabinetry, built-in bookshelves, glass-front display cases, a fireplace, and patio access completes this wing. The east wing is designed for unparalleled entertaining. A circular sunken bar connects seamlessly to a stone-lined wine cellar and billiards room. The chef's kitchen features open truss ceilings, leathered stone countertops, a Wolf range, a large dining hearth, a butler's pantry, and a separate back kitchen, ideal for large gatherings or catering. A showstopping circular formal dining room offers a dramatic setting for intimate dinners or major social events. The home's lower level, accessed via a grand staircase or elevator, expands the lifestyle footprint with three generous ensuite bedrooms (each opening to poolside patios), a full home theater with snack bar, a large gym with salon, a craft room, and a secured gallery room for the curated display of historic arms, militaria, or other distinguished collections. Beyond the primary living areas, the estate offers over 7,000 sq ft of additional utility and storage space integrated into the daylight basement, an incredibly rare amenity for a property of this stature. Plentiful garage space totaling 2,600+ sq ft accommodates eight vehicles with ease, complemented by expansive motor-court parking for dozens more. Outdoors, the meticulously manicured grounds are introduced by a gated entrance that ushers you in along a newly resurfaced, estate-length driveway that winds gracefully toward the residence, framed by mature trees and lush, established landscaping. The setting unfolds into statues, a grand fountain, sprawling lawns, an in-ground pool and spa with built-in kitchen, and yet another monumental fireplace to complete the outdoor space. As a Nevada residence, ownership also provides highly attractive tax advantages, including no state income tax, no inheritance tax, and comparatively low property taxes, making this property not only a statement estate, but a strategic one. Rarely does a home combine iconic architecture, unmatched acreage, total privacy, and immediate city access like this. The Pennington Mansion is more than a residence; it is Reno's ultimate trophy property.
