A mountain deserves respect, especially from a new house that arises below it. The owner of this Nevada home hails from New England, but he’s always had a reverence for the American West. His sister, an equine veterinarian who now lives in the smaller of the two houses on the 200-acre ranch, had discovered (by pure serendipity) that the flat expanse of land was for sale. Jobs Peak, which tops 10,000 feet, looms nearby, and the sister knew the locale was perfect for her brother’s vacation home.
