Lahontan
The historical architecture and time-tested Old Tahoe feel gives way to the charming community of Lahontan. Although a fairly newer community this thriving neighborhood in Truckee California is home to a world class Golf Course and country club. Located in the Martis Valley, Lahontan is rich with wildlife and nature all the while being only minutes from Lake Tahoe and Truckee.
Being in perfect harmony with the elegant, natural surroundings, homes are scattered and dotted throughout the landscape tucked into a serene setting or atop a grassy meadow. In and around the community are areas that pay respects to the early explorers of the Lahontan area with historical street names and building structure.
With over 740 acres in Lahontan guests and residents alike are welcome to explore the open lands of the golf course or traverse the many trails through the wetlands and forests. The Martis Creek which runs through the Lahontan area is home to the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, one of anglers delights in this area and of Lake Lahontan.
