The property location is rather unique for the Sierra Foothills, where most homes are in tree shaded surroundings. 10990 Northcote Place sits on a natural 100' hill, on the site of an old Gold Rush reservoir called “Red Dog Reservoir” which supported the 49'ers gold mining activities on nearby Deer Creek. 
To benefit from the location to the fullest, the 6,300 sq ft house was designed on a North/South axis, to benefit from 270 degrees of summer sun, whilst having no other property in direct sight, all this a 20-minute walk from bustling Nevada City town itself, with its history, tourism, art galleries, and multiple venues with nightly live music.
The original 2,900 sq ft pre-remodel home custom built in 2000 was named VILLA LONATE POZZOLO and was created by a local Italian Interior designer, Giudita Soldavini, as a detail replica inside and out of an old Italian villa named after a village of the same name in Lombardy Italy. Complete with fountain, massive cast stone fireplace, pillars and range, large outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and sink originally designed for Sean Penn, imported travertine, sunken tubs, and a Sangiovese Chianti vineyard to pay homage to Soldavini's Italian heritage. All these features were retained in the 6,300 sq ft remodel (except the vineyard).
The interior stairwell: The important stairwell was designed specifically by the owner to house a 7' bronze sculpture “GATEWAY” created by John Mowen, owner of the Mowen-Solinsky Gallery in Nevada City, who passed in 2014, who at the time was under active consideration for the most eminent living artists exhibition at the Smithsonian. The stairwell, with rotating platform and rear reflecting mirror, features magnificent intricate curved carpentry and inlays built by a local master craftsman Jason Whitman who studied architecture at U.C. Berkely. Translucent ceiling lighting features in this area, using rare handmade Japanese Origami paper made with banana fiber. The Japanese influence extends to the hand adzed wooden ceiling in the outside kitchen, crafted by the Japanese artist that Larry Ellison. There are two custom stained-glass features designed by the owner and crafted by [Use CALL or EMAIL to get in touch] . The feature in the stairwell is titled “the ayes have it” – and its reverse is in the adjacent half-bath. In the same vein, there are period underlit translucent onyx platforms designed to display smaller sculpture pieces. Note the Celtic motif.
Some Features of the Home:
-Top of the range Loewen windows and doors throughout.
-Solid and inlaid wood floors.

Two notable events launched the California of today, the 49'ers Gold Rush and the Union Pacific railroad, both made possible by Chinese Labor. The property's field of 1/3rd acre, termed “The Miners Quarter” attempts to capture this era with a 2-story tin roofed replica of a 49'ers Gold Rush miners shack constructed with pine trees felled, cut and sawn into planks on site. Nearby are two 4' tall granite rocks still with their explosive bore holes, sourced from the Cape Horn area of the Union Pacific railroad outside Auburn, and of course a fire pit for cooking. The miners shed has been enjoyed by 7 grandkids with their various celebrations over the years, as well as by many friends and neighbors enjoying an evening tipple watching the sunsets.
The Irish quarter consists of a large limestone seating area which is shaped in the negative of a Celtic Cross, with 2 cantilevered Brazilian marble tables shaped as the positive of a Celtic Cross. In the center a gas log firepit is constructed inside a Yuba Blue boulder with two adjacent gas Tiki lights, and a significant water feature consisting of three tall “Celtic” basalt columns from Mongolia seated in a sea of pebbles. Remotely controlled water flows from the drilled core of the pillars, and lighting - including rotating color modes, is also remotely controlled from the house. The water is auto filled from the well.
One of the beauties of 10990 Northcote Place is the below < 1 mile 20-minute walk into Nevada City without using the road, it passes through a secluded dead end lane, the cemetery, alongside a stream in Pioneer Park then a woodland path emerging in the Stone House parking lot in the Historic District without ever having to walk on the busy Red Dog Road.
