With all the interest in moving out of the city and settling into a more peaceful environment, our architect firm in Lake Tahoe and Carson City is fielding calls everyday from new clients who want to build their dream home. As a family who has lived in the High Sierra for over 30 years, we understand the draw of moving to the mountains.
To get you started, we are offering this two-part series that highlights our favorite resort developments that still have land and lots for sale in Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, and Carson City.
Throughout the Lake Tahoe basin there are many lovely mountain communities that offer all the amenities one needs to live a good life. Within these communities are resort developments that do have lots for sale. Here’s the start to our two-part series. Just click into each neighborhood to find out more about home developments in Lake Tahoe.
In our next blog, we will include information on the popular Clear Creek Development, and other Nevada home developments (which offer excellent tax advantages) located just over the hill on the eastern side of the Sierra .
Forbes magazine once quoted that Martis Camp “May be the best private four-season community in the USA.” Check it out their own description.
“Located midway between historic Truckee, California and North Lake Tahoe, Martis Camp is a 2,177-acre private, luxury community, which Barron’s ranked as Tahoe’s Best Place to Own a Second Home. Nice praise. But even more impressive are the plaudits of those critics whose opinions carry a lot more weight: your family.”
The developers say it best: “Casual elegance finds its home at Lahontan.” Their website does a nice job of describing what may be your next backyard.
“Every one of Lahontan’s 906 acres is a spectacle of natural beauty. Your palette for creating a home here is made up of rock-faced ridges, springfed meadows, tall jeffrey, lodgepole and ponderosa pines, ridge tops with incredible panoramic views, green velvet valleys, and a breathtaking Tom Weiskopf golf course. There is also a reservoir that is the “town center” for Canadian geese, water fowl, and other wildlife. Beauty steals every scene here – and your heart. “
Located halfway between North America’s largest alpine lake, and the historic town of Truckee, California, Northstar still shines as another option for year-round recreation right out your backdoor. Here’s a very brief description from their website.
“Hidden among the trees in the majestic Martis Valley in North Lake Tahoe, Northstar California welcomes friends and families looking to get more our of their mountain getaway. We invite you to discover what makes our resort unforgettable …”
If you love to play golf, you will love this home and resort development. Our team at Borelli Architecture that designs homes in Truckee, CA, appreciates all that this development has to offer. Here is how they describe the experience;
“Imagine a place to build that honors your wish list as well as your budget. A bright, airy spot with spectacular views. One that’s close to the trails, the slopes, and Lake Tahoe with a golf course, restaurant, and on-site fitness and pool facility. A neighborhood that offers beautiful aesthetics and thoughtful logistics. With values that still reflect a market over-correction, there has never been a more fortuitous time to invest. You could definitely call Gray’s Crossing “home.”
If you would like a personal tour of any of these resort home developments in Lake Tahoe, and others that I will be showcasing in my next News article, please feel free to reach out to Borelli Architecture. We have been designing and remodeling homes throughout the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area for decades and always welcome the opportunity to share our insight.
