Clear Creek Tahoe – A natural wonder

Clear Creek is on the eastern slope of the Carson Range, conveniently just 20 minutes from both Incline Village and the ski slopes of Heavenly. Yet it is spectacularly unspoiled – 1,576 acres surrounded by the six million acres of the largest national forest in the lower 48. Your home will be a natural refuge … forever. Clear Creek Tahoe is also reassuringly private – a private community and club since inception.

History

As part of the historic Clear Creek Ranch

The property has had a connection to Lake Tahoe, Carson City, and Virginia City since the mid 1800’s. Clear Creek Tahoe is located in the center of the fictional “Ponderosa” of Bonanza fame, and has been utilized for over 150 years by various cattle operations. The Swift’s Station pavilion on the golf course is so named for the wagon train stop that was located just below the eastern summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The property historically held timber flumes that carried logs from Spooner Summit to the mines of western Nevada. The timber operation was that of D.L. Bliss, a prominent entrepreneur around the lake. Clear Creek Tahoe includes significant Lake Tahoe architectural heritage – Twin Pines Lake & Ski House.  The Resort Rustic-style vacation residence was designed by celebrated architect Julia Morgan.
