Gated Communities Offering the Ultimate Truckee Lifestyle
Juniper Hills and Juniper Creek Ranch are private, gated neighborhoods tucked southeast of Truckee, just beyond the Glenshire Devonshire community. These estates offering the ultimate Truckee lifestyle sit beneath Martis Peak in lower Juniper Creek Ranch, where parcels range from 20 to over 80 acres nestled in a forested setting of pines, junipers, and aspens. The terrain is rolling, rich with seasonal creeks and wildlife, and bordered by national forest. Though you'll feel a world away, these properties are only about 10 minutes from the historic town of Truckee and 30 minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Homes in this area often feature hydronic heated floors, high ceilings, expansive windows, and a mix of natural and modern finishes, though utilities are typically off-grid—expect private wells, septic systems, and propane. Electric and cable access is available on most streets. Whether you’re heading toward Lake Tahoe or returning up a meandering private road, Juniper Creek Ranch homes for sale bring timeless mountain living into everyday reach.

Real Estate Defined by Space, Privacy, and Year-Round Adventure
Juniper Creek Ranch real estate is comprised of large acreage parcels designed to create space, privacy, and a connection to nature. These aren’t subdivisions in the traditional sense—this is forested backcountry living on the outskirts of Truckee, where properties may span 20 acres or more, and some homes boast over 7,000 square feet of combined living space. Features like a grand great room, covered outdoor kitchen, play structure, two outdoor hot tubs, and a sports court are not uncommon. The three-car garage of the main house is often paired with a separate sports garage equipped for RVs, with two dump stations, storage for mountain gear, and room for multiple cars or a large boat. Roads within the communities vary; while many are paved, some remain unpaved and equally desirable.
Each parcel offers direct access to the surrounding national forest, making hiking, biking, and horseback riding part of everyday life. Views stretch across unobstructed forest and mountain ridgelines, and every home sits with intention—angled for light, designed for flow, and crafted to stand the test of time. Whether you're exploring the most complete listing or preparing to list your estate, Juniper Creek Ranch homes for sale provide a rare opportunity to live the ultimate Truckee lifestyle with privacy, scale, and year-round access to nature—all just minutes from the schools, shops, and restaurants of Truckee CA and a short drive to the North Shore.
