Set behind a secluded and private gated entrance in the coveted Steamboat Valley ranch area of South Reno, Wisteria Rhodes Estate is an extraordinary lifestyle estate where architectural substance, refined entertaining and true self-sufficiency converge. Designed for multigenerational living, ADA accessible, and hosting large-scale gatherings, the residence has panoramic mountain views, multiple living and recreation spaces, movie theater, an integrated greenhouse and extensive garage capacity for vehicles, recreational equipment and RV storage.
The interiors reflect uncompromising quality. Old-growth white fir structural columns and Liana vine stair railings make for quite the entry statement. A vintage chandelier from a 1940’s Atlanta country club hangs in the dining and piano rooms, custom cabinetry, radiant floor heating provided by solar, travertine flooring, whole-house audio, a backup generator and an elevator serving four levels. The chef’s kitchen is anchored by a 60-inch Wolf range with six burners, center griddle and double ovens, complemented by Sub-Zero refrigeration, a steam oven, warming drawers and recently updated Taj Mahal granite countertops and an early-1900s Boos butcher block. A fully equipped butler’s pantry adds an AGA companion range, additional refrigeration, freezer storage, ice maker, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers and custom cabinetry with a rolling library ladder. The primary bathroom is fitted with a sourced Indonesian boulder bathtub.

Created for exceptional entertaining, the covered outdoor kitchen includes Wolf and Thermador cooking appliances, a rotisserie barbecue, outdoor sink, charcoal barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven imported from Portugal. Entertaining indoors offers multiple gathering spaces like a movie theatre, slide inside the home leading down to the walk out custom basement with a bar, movie theatre, gym, spa room, and showcase garage. The property has comfortably hosted gatherings and ample parking on the paver driveway.
Beyond the residence and spectacular views across the meadows up through the mountains lies a rare, cultivated landscape devoted to beauty, agriculture and connection to the land. Approximately 25 raised garden beds produce an abundant seasonal harvest of tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, artichokes, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, boysenberries, rhubarb, garlic, herbs, melons, potatoes and more. Drip irrigation extends throughout the gardens, orchard and vineyard, while Big Ditch irrigation water rights support the pasture from spring into fall. The orchard features approximately 20 to 25 mature fruit trees, including sweet and pie cherries, apricots, apples, pears, nectarines, plums and pluots. A private vineyard includes Merlot, Cabernet, Zinfandel, Concord and table grapes, with a history of connection to local wine enthusiasts and the University of Nevada agricultural and wine community. Seasonal sunflower groves, wisteria, herbs and a heated and cooled greenhouse with high end lighting, a sink and cabinets further enrich the property.
Two beehive areas (owned and managed by others) support natural pollination, while the established chicken house (large coup) currently accommodates approximately 30 chickens and has produced 12 to 18 fresh eggs per day during the warmer months. Two horse enclosures offer turnout stalls, heated shelters, feed storage and a tack room, and arena while the irrigated pasture provides substantial feed and could accommodate horses, cattle or hay production. The adjoining riding access extends toward Virginia City and beyond, with nearby equestrian facilities adding to the property’s appeal.
