When people search for Truckee homes for sale, communities like Martis Camp or Lahontan often get top billing. But what many buyers don’t realize is that Old Greenwood offers a comparable lifestyle—golf, spa, fitness, private club access—at a fraction of the cost.
Yes, you read that right. If you're looking for luxury without the $5M+ price tag, Old Greenwood is Truckee’s most underrated gem.
As a Truckee realtor, I’ve walked clients through some of the most exclusive communities in the region. Old Greenwood consistently surprises buyers who want high-end finishes, five-star amenities, and access to world-class golf without overpaying for branding.
Old Greenwood’s amenities go toe-to-toe with what you’ll find in Martis Camp:
Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course
Full-service spa
Fitness center and pools
Tennis courts and family-friendly programming
Private club access via the Tahoe Mountain Club
What’s the difference? At Old Greenwood, you get all this for a significantly lower buy-in and more flexible ownership options.
Whether you're eyeing a custom home on the fairway or a fractional residence through the Tahoe Mountain Club, Old Greenwood properties are thoughtfully designed for both luxury and convenience.
Think mountain-modern interiors, open floor plans, vaulted ceilings, and outdoor spaces made for entertaining—or just kicking back after a round of golf.
Old Greenwood gives you that private, club-style experience—but it feels relaxed, grounded, and welcoming. You won’t find the exclusivity complex you sometimes get in other gated communities. What you will find is a well-managed neighborhood with tight-knit vibes, top-tier amenities, and strong long-term value.
Old Greenwood homes range from:
Fractional ownership options starting in the low $100Ks, to
Full ownership luxury estates priced between $1.5M and $3M+—still well below what you’d pay in nearby ultra-luxury enclaves.
And with limited inventory and growing demand, values here continue to climb. That makes it a smart play for both primary and second-home buyers.
I specialize in helping clients navigate the nuances of Truckee real estate. That means knowing which homes have the best floor plans, which listings are worth the ask, and when to move quickly on off-market deals.
If you're looking for luxury without the Martis Camp markup, I’ll show you the best of what Old Greenwood has to offer—and help you land it.
Old Greenwood is undervalued, under-the-radar, and exactly what many buyers don’t know they’re looking for.
