Prosser Lakeview Estates
Located at the northern edge of Truckee and bounded by National Forest and Prosser reservoir, Prosser is predominantly a full time residence development. Some parcels enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Martis Valley, Northstar and the Carson Range, while the majority of sites are nestled in the trees providing a wooded ambiance. There are no amenities and no homeowner association or dues. Like all other areas in and around Truckee, Prosser has seen strong interest and activity in recent years. Availability of homes here is limited, with prices starting at $295,000.
Panonia Ranchos
If horses are your passion, this could be the area for you. Located off highway 89, and reached via Prosser Dam Road, most of the parcels are 5+ acres in size. The terrain is generally flat with a mixture of both wooded and open spaces. Prosser Reservoir is close by for fishing in the summer and ice skating in the winter. National forest lands offer almost unlimited horseback riding opportunities. Most residents are full time people who value space, privacy and the convenience of being close to town.
Olympic Heights
Another favorite for full time residents, some of the homes here offer panoramic views of Northstar, the Truckee River and Martis Valley. Midway between Glenshire and downtown Truckee, Olympic Heights is perched on a south-facing hillside above Glenshire Drive and the Truckee River. There is no homeowner association here, and no amenities. Home prices begin in the mid $299,000 range.
Downtown Truckee
Historic downtown Truckee offers a variety of unique properties from condominiums on the Truckee Roll to stately victorian homes on the sloping hills above and along the Truckee River. Zoning is mixed, providing opportunities for both residential and commercial uses. Many homes are protected under historical guidelines recently established by the Town. Current home prices have been $300,000 and above.
Donner Lake
Both local families and second-home owners reside at Donner Lake, bordered by Donner Memorial State Park on the east and Donner Summit on the west. The lake offers homes and lots on the lake, properties with lake views and properties that have a charming wooded environment. Besides boating, fishing and water sports, the area is also a favorite for both local and visiting rock climbers. The Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District maintains the public beach at the west end of the lake. Many properties have been passed down through families for generations, giving the area a real “Old Lake” feeling. Home prices begin around $300,000.
