Mill Creek homes for sale in Incline Village, NV

Mill Creek (also written Millcreek) is a neighborhood of 265 single-family homes on the east side of Incline Village, Nevada. It fills the low, gently sloping ground between Country Club Drive, Tahoe Boulevard (State Route 28) and the east end of Lakeshore Boulevard, a 13-minute walk from Incline Beach and close to the Hyatt Regency and the Tahoe East Shore Trail.

The lots are the draw. The median parcel is 0.39 acre, large and fairly level by Incline standards, and many of the original 1960s and 1970s houses have been remodeled or replaced with new custom homes. Since January 2023, 40 homes have sold for between $1.53M and $11.50M, and the average price per square foot has stayed between $1,243 and $1,313 every year.

Average price per square foot is the mean of each home’s sold price per square foot. With 5 to 13 sales a year, one sale can move the median and the average. For example, the $11.5 million sale of 1128 Lakeshore Boulevard lifted 2023’s average price, and 2026’s figures rest on just 5 sales.

Priced right, homes sell in about a month

Of the 40 sales since 2023, the 19 homes that sold within 60 days closed at an average of 99.6% of their original list price. The 9 homes that sat more than 120 days closed at an average of 88.6%. For sellers, the first price matters most. For buyers, a listing that has lingered can leave room to negotiate.

The lot sets the floor

No Mill Creek home has sold for less than $1.5 million since 2023, including 1960s originals of about 1,500 to 1,700 square feet. A small house on a big lot can top $2,000 per square foot: 122 Pine Cone Road, a 1,352 sq. ft. home built in 1965 on 0.60 acre, sold for $3,000,000 ($2,219 per sq. ft.) in August 2024. Buyers here are paying for the land.

Same house, higher price

Two homes sold twice in this period. 1090 Mill Creek Road sold for $2,099,000 in February 2024 and for $2,550,000 in October 2025, 21% more. 178 Tramway Road sold for $2,800,000 in April 2023 and for $3,850,000 in June 2026, 38% more. Square footage didn’t change between sales, though MLS data doesn’t capture any updates made in between.

Few listings, busy summers

About 11 homes change hands per year, roughly 4% of the neighborhood. On October 14, 2026, 4 homes were listed, from $3,200,000 to $13,995,000, and 1 was under contract. 25 of 40 closings since 2023 happened between May and September, so buyers who shop in fall and winter often face less competition.

Price guide

What your budget buys in Mill Creek

Since 2023, Mill Creek homes have sold for $745 to $2,219 per square foot. That threefold spread comes mostly from the land. A small original house on a large lot can cost more per square foot than a new custom home, because the buyer is paying for the lot. Here’s how the 40 recent sales break down by price.

Cedar-sided single-family home with decks and a rock garden among the pines at 1090 Mill Creek Road, Incline Village
Under $3 million: 1090 Mill Creek Road, a 1979 home on 0.32 acre. Cole sold it for $2,099,000 in February 2024; it resold for $2,550,000 in October 2025.
Two-story dark green home with a level lawn and gardens at 178 Tramway Road in Mill Creek, Incline Village
$3 to $5 million: 178 Tramway Road, built in 2003 on 0.41 acre, sold by Cole for $3,850,000 in June 2026.
Two-story shingle-sided mountain home with stone-arched garage doors among the pines at 150 Pine Cone Road in Mill Creek, Incline Village
$5 million and up: 150 Pine Cone Road, built in 2013 on 0.41 acre, sold by Cole for $5,900,000 in April 2026.

  • Recent sales on: Lakeshore Boulevard, Mayhew Circle, Pine Cone Road, Selby Drive, Tiller Drive, Tramway Road

Mostly new and rebuilt homes: 9 of these 11 were built in 2008 or later. The top sale since 2023 was 1128 Lakeshore Boulevard at $11.5 million ($1,890 per sq. ft.) in July 2023. This tier took longest to sell and left the most room to negotiate.

Remodel, rebuild or buy new?

Washoe County records show 36 of Mill Creek’s 265 homes were built in 2010 or later, 19 of them since 2020. Big, mostly level lots keep site work simpler than on Incline’s steeper hillsides. If you plan to rebuild, verify the parcel’s TRPA land coverage and get a builder’s estimate before you close. Existing coverage on an older house can be worth a lot to a new project.

Lakeshore Boulevard homes

Mill Creek’s 26 Lakeshore Boulevard parcels sit on the mountain side of the road, across from Incline’s large lakefront estates. They include the neighborhood’s two highest sales since 2023, at $10.3 million and $11.5 million. For homes directly on the water, see the Lakefront neighborhood guide.

Estates Drive

Seven homes and one vacant lot on a private, gated cul-de-sac at the north edge of Mill Creek, just south of Tahoe Boulevard. At about 0.9 to 1.8 acres, these are the neighborhood’s largest lots, and county records show homes of about 4,500 to 8,900 sq. ft. built from 1991 to 2020. None has sold since 2023. Cole’s listing at 250 Estates Drive is offered at $6,400,000.

Lifestyle & location

Living in Mill Creek: beaches, trails & local history

Mill Creek is one of the few Incline Village neighborhoods where you can leave the car parked all summer. From the middle of Mill Creek Road, Incline Beach is about a 13-minute walk, the Hyatt Regency and the restaurants on Country Club Drive about 14 minutes, and the Tahoe East Shore Trail about 19 minutes. At roughly 6,280 to 6,400 feet, the neighborhood sits just above the lake and below the steep hillside streets, which makes for flatter walks and easier winter driving.

Distances follow walking and driving routes and are approximate. Times vary by address, traffic and winter road conditions.

Walk to the beach

Incline Beach and Ski Beach are two of Incline Village’s three restricted-access IVGID beaches; the third is Burnt Cedar Beach and pool. They are open to IVGID Picture Pass and Punch Card holders from parcels that pay the Beach Facility Fee, and each eligible parcel receives five passes and punch cards in combination. Confirm a home’s beach status with IVGID before you buy.

East Shore Trail & the Flume Trail

The paved Tahoe East Shore Trail starts near Tunnel Creek Café on SR 28 and follows the shoreline about three miles to Sand Harbor. Trailhead parking is paid and fills up on busy summer days, so walking or biking there from home is a real perk. Tunnel Creek Café is also the finish of the Flume Trail, one of Tahoe’s best-known mountain-bike rides.

Where Incline Village got its name

In 1880 the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company built the Great Incline, a 4,000-foot steam-powered cable lift that hauled lumber and cordwood 1,800 feet up the mountain to a flume bound for Washoe Valley and the Comstock mines. The state historical marker says it could move up to 300 cords a day from the mill in what is now Mill Creek. Street names like Tramway, Sawmill, Flume and Oxen recall that era, and Nevada Historical Marker No. 246 stands on SR 28 near Ponderosa Ranch Road.

Skiing, golf & the Rec Center

Diamond Peak, IVGID’s community ski area, is about five minutes away by car, and Mt. Rose Ski Tahoe about 20 to 25 minutes. The IVGID Recreation Center, with its gym, indoor pool and classes, is a 13-minute walk. Both IVGID golf courses are a short drive, with discounted rates for Picture Pass holders.

Schools near Mill Creek

Mill Creek is in the Washoe County School District. Incline Elementary, Incline Middle and Incline High School are all a short drive away. Lake Tahoe School, a private PreK–8 school, is about a 16-minute walk, and the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus is also in Incline Village. Confirm school assignments for any address with the district.

Ownership costs

Property taxes, IVGID fees & ownership costs

Nevada’s tax advantages are a big part of the appeal. Here’s what to budget for beyond the purchase price of a Mill Creek home.

Ownership costs for Mill Creek homes
CostWhat to know
State income taxNone. Nevada has no personal state income tax, a major reason many buyers choose Incline Village over the California side of the lake.
Property taxWashoe County taxes homes on assessed value, which is 35% of taxable value. Taxable value is based on land value plus the depreciated replacement cost of the home, not the sale price. Annual tax-bill increases are capped at 3% for an owner-occupied primary residence (you must file a claim with the Washoe County Assessor) and at up to 8% for second homes and rentals.
IVGID facility fees$1,530 per parcel for 2026–27 ($1,385 Recreation plus $145 Beach Facility Fee), billed on the property tax bill. The fees support IVGID’s beaches, golf, ski area and recreation programs, and they come with five Picture Passes and Punch Cards per parcel.
HOA duesMill Creek is not a master-planned HOA community, and many homes have no association dues. Check the preliminary title report and seller disclosures for any recorded CC&Rs on a specific property.
Homeowners insuranceWildfire risk has made insurance across Lake Tahoe more expensive and harder to place. Get quotes early in escrow, and ask about a defensible-space inspection from the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District.
Remodels & TRPAMany Mill Creek buyers plan a remodel or rebuild. Additions and new homes require Washoe County permits and must meet Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) land-coverage rules. On parcels near the creek, part of the lot may be mapped as Stream Environment Zone, which sharply limits coverage. Verify a lot’s coverage before you buy.
Short-term rentalsRentals of 28 days or less require a Washoe County short-term rental permit, with occupancy limits by tier. A seller’s permit doesn’t carry over automatically, so plan to apply in your own name. HOA rules may add restrictions.

Mill Creek FAQs

Where is Mill Creek in Incline Village?

Mill Creek, also written Millcreek, is on the east side of Incline Village, Nevada 89451. It covers the low ground between Country Club Drive, Tahoe Boulevard (State Route 28) and the east end of Lakeshore Boulevard, next to the Hyatt Regency. Its streets include Mill Creek Road, Tiller Drive, Tramway Road, Sawmill Road, Flume Road, Pine Cone Road, Mayhew Circle, Oxen Road, Pelton Lane, Selby Drive, Wheel Road, Steam Circle and Estates Drive. In county records it is the Mill Creek Estates subdivision plus the gated Estates Drive enclave.

How much does a home cost in Mill Creek, Incline Village?

Single-family homes in Mill Creek have sold for $1,525,000 to $11,500,000 since January 2023, with a median of $3,475,000 and an average of $1,280 per square foot. In 2026 (through October 14), 5 homes sold at a median of $3,850,000.

Is the Mill Creek real estate market competitive right now?

For well-priced homes, yes. Since 2023, the 19 homes that sold within 60 days closed at an average of 99.6% of their original list price. Sales slowed in 2026, with 5 closings through October 14, 2026 and a median of 69 days on market, and only 4 homes were listed on that date. Homes that were overpriced at launch sat for months and sold for less.

How many homes are in Mill Creek, and how big are the lots?

Washoe County records show 265 single-family homes and 19 vacant lots in Mill Creek: 258 homes and 18 lots in the Mill Creek Estates subdivision, plus 7 homes and 1 lot on gated Estates Drive. The median lot is 0.39 acre, and most are 0.3 to 0.5 acre, large by Incline Village standards; Estates Drive lots run about 0.9 to 1.8 acres. Roughly 11 homes sell each year, about 4% of the neighborhood.

Is Mill Creek a good place to build or remodel?

Many buyers choose Mill Creek to build. The lots are large and mostly level, and 36 of the 265 homes were built in 2010 or later, according to county records. Before you buy, verify the parcel’s TRPA land coverage and get a builder’s estimate, since those two numbers decide whether a remodel or a rebuild makes sense.

Can you walk to the beach from Mill Creek?

Yes. Incline Beach is about 0.6 mile, a 13-minute walk, from the middle of Mill Creek Road, and Ski Beach is about 0.9 mile. Both are IVGID restricted-access beaches, and access depends on the parcel, not the neighborhood: parcels that pay IVGID’s Beach Facility Fee receive Picture Passes or Punch Cards. Verify a specific home’s beach eligibility with IVGID before you buy.

Are the Mill Creek homes on Lakeshore Boulevard lakefront?

No. Mill Creek’s Lakeshore Boulevard homes are on the mountain side of the road, across from Incline’s lakefront estates, so their parcels don’t reach the shoreline. They are close to the water and include the neighborhood’s highest sales. See the Lakefront guide for waterfront homes.

Why is it called Mill Creek?

The neighborhood is named for the creek where the Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company ran a sawmill in the 1880s. From the mill, the Great Incline cable lift hauled lumber and cordwood 1,800 feet up the mountain to a flume that carried it toward the Comstock mines. Incline Village takes its name from that lift.

Which real estate agent sells the most homes in Mill Creek?

Cole Mizak was the listing agent on 8 of the 40 Mill Creek sales since 2023, more than any other agent, including 3 of the 5 sales in 2026 (Incline Village REALTORS® MLS). Cole also represented the buyers of 1059 Tiller Drive and is the listing agent for 250 Estates Drive. Meet Cole.

Does Nevada have a state income tax? What are property taxes like in Incline Village?

Nevada has no state income tax. Washoe County property taxes are based on assessed value, and annual tax-bill increases are capped at 3% for a primary residence and at up to 8% for other homes. IVGID’s 2026–27 recreation and beach fees add $1,530 a year to the tax bill.

Is there an HOA in Mill Creek?

Mill Creek is not a master-planned HOA community, and many homes have no association dues. Check the preliminary title report and seller disclosures for any recorded CC&Rs on a specific property.

Can I rent out a Mill Creek home as a short-term rental?

Yes, with a Washoe County short-term rental permit for stays of 28 days or less, subject to any HOA rules. Permits set occupancy limits by tier, and a new owner should plan to apply for their own permit. Read the Lake Tahoe short-term rental guide.

How far is Mill Creek from Reno-Tahoe Airport, Diamond Peak and Sand Harbor?

Reno-Tahoe International Airport is about 34 miles away, roughly 50 to 60 minutes via the Mt. Rose Highway depending on weather. Diamond Peak is about 1.9 miles (5 minutes) by car, and Sand Harbor State Park is about 3.4 miles by car or about 4 miles by bike on the East Shore Trail.
