Lahontan

Lahontan is known for its luxury homes, world-class golfing, and high-end amenities surrounded by tall pines, mountain vistas and clean mountain streams. Lahontan, a gated community is ideal for luxury mountain living located just south of historic downtown Truckee’s shopping and fine dining, adjacent to the picturesque Martis Valley rich with birds, wildflowers, and Sierra crest views, and next to premier skiing at Northstar California.  Just over 900 acres with Gooseneck Reservoir in its center are 509 parcels averaging .5 to 1.92 acres. A bit of trivia…Gooseneck Reservoir is featured in the 1960’s television show “Bonanza.” Lahontan custom homes are preapproved by their Design Board and emphasize use of natural stone, copper, iron, and natural wood siding.  Its two meticulously maintained golf courses are designed by Tom Weiskopf, an 18-hole championship and 9-hole Par 3. Playing with views of Mt Rose and the Sierra Crest under mature pine trees with its sweeping fairways, smooth greens, and white sand traps create a spectacular golf experience. Golf Membership also includes amenities enjoyed by Social Members with the use of Spa & Fitness Center, Camp Lahontan, and dining at The Lodge.  Camp Lahontan, the family recreation and activity center, has volleyball, badminton, basketball courts, shuffleboard, clay tennis courts and horseshoe. Swimmers of all ages enjoy the varied pool options: a full size recreation pool, children’s splash pool, lap pool, and jetted spa. Locker rooms with showers are available in the Camp Pavilion. Lahontan ‘s name comes from the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout where years ago, this species migrated up the Columbia River and became established a large prehistoric inland sea (called Lake Lahontan) that covered areas of Northern California and Nevada. At that time, they were one of only two species of trout found east of the Sierra Mountain Range. Lahontan Cutthrout Trout are identified by their copper colored head and red, orange, or yellow marks under each jaw. Once near extinct, this ancient species can be found in Independence Lake, Pyramid Lake, and in secluded inland streams. Homesites start at $100,000 and homes $2M.
