Back on Market! Historic Redfield Estate on the market for the first time since the 1930's, this eclectic home built entirely out of native Truckee Meadow's river stone is the largest of its kind in Northern Nevada. Immense history surrounds this prestigious property, owned by the prominent "Redfield" family since the 1930's. We are proud to deliver the home, inclusive with thorough cosmetic remediation throughout, while still retaining the original charm that makes this home one of a kind!

From the 2014 article about Redfield's biography: For many years, rumors have persisted that the more than 400,000 silver dollars found hidden in Redfield's garage and mansion after his death were only a part of his treasure, that more might be buried elsewhere. Harpster isn't so sure. "Personally, I don't believe so," he said, but then added. "If the house ever gets torn down, I hope they do it carefully."
