4-Season Living at Serene Lakes


Serene Lakes: a picturesque Sierra summit community focused around lakes Dulzura & Serena. Just a 100 yards stroll away from National Forest & Royal Gorge trails, this chalet-styled home is perfect for 4-season enjoyment. Accented throughout with pine trim, paneled doors, ceiling lid and grid-pattern open beams, the home also features vinyl windows throughout, beautifully updated baths (on each level), newer laminate flooring & carpet, custom rod ironwork in staircase, an airy master bedroom with Juliet balcony, western mountain views, tiered outdoor entertaining area & a ground-floor workshop for the hobbyist. Have larger toys? There is additional storage large enough to house a canoe, a sailboat, a snowblower, summertime outdoor furniture and more under a large wrap-around deck, whereupon you can relax in the evenings and enjoy the sun set in the west. If you love being on the water or hiking in the summer, and skiing (cross country or downhill) in the winter, this home is positioned perfectly for both. Royal Gorge trails are directly behind the home, Soda Springs is just 2 minutes down the road, and Sugar Bowl (and children's ski teams!) is 10 minutes away. Long Lake, Kidd Lake and Cascade Lakes are 15 minutes away too!

The Martis Camp Experience


Imagine this: It’s a beautiful July morning in Tahoe, and you decide to grab yourself a cup of fresh-brewed coffee on your way out to your granite-stone patio.  As you gaze out towards the 1st green of the golf course, you notice the sun just rising over Lookout Mountain at Northstar, illuminating the Martis Camp chair lift.  You contemplate what you are going to do that day, weighing the options: a spa session followed by a relaxing float in the pool, or perhaps an easy walk along the Camp’s chipped pathways?  Perhaps a cruise on the bike to the Lost Library for some solitary reading, or maybe you need to show the kids how bowling is really done.  A milkshake sounds good, so perhaps stopping by the Barn for a refreshment is in order.  Regardless of your choice, you smile, knowing that you are only a 2 minute golf cart ride away from The Lodge, The Family Barn, and the fishing pond, traversing on the cart path that runs parallel with the backside of your homesite.  You stand up to take the cup back into the kitchen, and make a sudden decision to grab the clubs and go make some practice swings on the Practice Field, just around the corner from you, but completely out of sight.  This is the reality of a home located on Homesite 126 at Martis Camp.


Homesite 126 is a stunning and almost level estate site, located on Bellingrath Court within the premiere golf and ski community in Truckee. Uniquely positioned for immediate fun, Homesite 126 is located just off the 1st green of the award-winning Tom Fazio golf course, and is only 2 minutes by golf cart to The Lodge & Practice Field. Cushioned by 2 acres of adjacent open space, with a new cart path spanning the lot's rear border, it's easy to swing over to the Family Barn for lunch or a swim, or enjoy a massage treatment at The Lodge. Stand in the center of the building envelope and take in the sun and Lookout Mountain views, with the promise of more expansive views once building commences. Find the perfect blend of Sierra scenery, proximity to Martis Camp's amenity core, golf backdrop, solitude, and hassle-free build site in this premiere re-sale lot. Building a family legacy has never been easier, as Homesite 126 has been surveyed and staked, and is ready for your custom home design.  Recently reduced to $1,225,000, the seller is also offering the buyer of this incredible homesite a $10,000 incentive, which can be applied to a Martis Camp Social Membership.  Compare with current developer offerings, and you will find that the value at Homesite 126 is crystal clear.
