KEY TAKEAWAYS
Clear Creek Tahoe is Nevada's premier guard-gated golf community in ZIP 89705: custom estates from $2.5M to $10M+, a Coore and Crenshaw course ranked among the state's very best per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS and NNRMLS data, and 25 minutes to Lake Tahoe South Shore. Five takeaways break down what those numbers mean for buyers in this Nevada State Demographer-tracked Carson City corridor.
Last updated September 2026 · Sources: RSAR, U.S. Census, Nevada State Demographer
Clear Creek Tahoe carries a very limited selection of active listings at any time in ZIP 89705, priced $2M–$10M+ per NNRMLS data. According to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, ultra-luxury guard-gated estate inventory here is among the rarest in Nevada — private golf estate homes change hands infrequently and often off-market. Live NNRMLS listings appear below, refreshed daily.

STAY AHEAD OF THE MARKET
With only 5–8 active listings in Clear Creek Tahoe at any time and many estates moving off-market before any NNRMLS listing is created, buyers alerted within hours hold a decisive advantage. Set a custom alert by price, acreage, and property type, and ask our team about off-market access. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.
Before choosing a home, request address-specific school assignments for the intended school year from the district. Confirm grade levels, program eligibility, enrollment requirements and any boundary changes. Use the exact property address, including any unit number, and ask the district to confirm the assignment before making a purchase decision.

CRIME DATA
Review reports from the law-enforcement agency serving the address. Check the reporting period, area covered, offense definitions and completeness before comparing locations. When requesting local information, provide the property address and ask which agency and geographic boundary each report represents, along with any known reporting gaps.
The FBI publishes crime and law-enforcement statistics through its Crime Data Explorer. Its guidance cautions against using crime totals alone to rank communities: reporting practices and local conditions affect comparisons.
A citywide statistic does not establish conditions at a particular home. Ask the local agency about current reports for the area and gaps in the available data. Missing records do not mean zero crime, and a gated entrance does not establish a safety rating.

Clear Creek Tahoe is ~2,136 Ponderosa-forested acres of guard-gated estate living southwest of Carson City (ZIP 89705): custom parcels up to 5.5 acres, a Coore and Crenshaw course, the Twin Pines lake club, and Lake Tahoe 25 minutes west. Served by the Carson City School District — separate from Washoe County; many buyers also consider private school options in Reno-Tahoe.
Clear Creek Tahoe is known as Nevada's premier private guard-gated golf estate community, anchored by an 18-hole Coore and Crenshaw course ranked by GOLF Magazine and Golfweek among the very best private courses in Nevada. The community spans roughly 2,136 acres of Ponderosa pine forest southwest of Carson City, with custom estate homes on parcels up to 5.5 acres, a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse and fitness center, the Twin Pines lake club, guest cottages, and direct US-50 access to Lake Tahoe South Shore 25 minutes away.
Clear Creek Tahoe is purpose-built for ultra-high-net-worth buyers: California executives and founders seeking Nevada tax residency, serious private golf enthusiasts who want a nationally ranked course in their backyard, buyers who want 1–5 acres of forested estate land near Lake Tahoe, and retirees or second-home buyers who want the highest tier of guard-gated privacy the state offers. The $2.5M–$10M+ price range limits the buyer pool deliberately — that constraint supports value retention.
Daily life at Clear Creek Tahoe centers on the Coore and Crenshaw course in season — morning rounds on a nationally ranked private layout through Ponderosa pine corridors, afternoon drives to Lake Tahoe South Shore 25 minutes west on US-50, and evenings at the 22,000 sq ft clubhouse pub. The Twin Pines lake club adds a water-recreation dimension. Downtown Carson City is 15 minutes east for everyday services; Reno's broader dining, entertainment, and airport access are roughly 50 minutes north via US-50 and I-580.
Clear Creek Tahoe sits southwest of Carson City, Nevada (ZIP 89705), on roughly 2,136 acres along the US-50 corridor near the Carson City / Douglas County line — approximately 15 minutes from downtown Carson City, 25 minutes from Lake Tahoe South Shore, and 50 minutes from Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
Quick Answer
Clear Creek Tahoe combines Nevada's finest private golf with forested estate living on parcels up to 5.5 acres, guard-gated security, and one of the most enviable lifestyle positions in the Western United States — 15 minutes to Carson City, 25 minutes to Lake Tahoe South Shore, and 50 minutes to Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Nevada's zero state income tax and a 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 make the long-run carrying cost far more predictable than any California comparable. For ultra-high-net-worth buyers who want a nationally ranked private course, forested Tahoe-corridor estate land, and Nevada tax residency, Clear Creek Tahoe has no equivalent in the state.
Source: Nevada State Demographer
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, ZIP 89705 southwest of Carson City carries the highest estate values in the Carson City area — consistent with a guard-gated community where residents are ultra-high-net-worth principals: California executives, tech founders, physicians, finance professionals, and retirees drawn by Nevada's zero state income tax and the Coore and Crenshaw golf experience.
Estate values at Clear Creek Tahoe have appreciated alongside the national demand for private golf residences in scenic Western locations. Owner-occupancy is extremely high in the gated estate corridor; second-home buyers from the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and out-of-state markets make up a meaningful share of the buyer pool. The educational attainment and income profile of residents significantly exceeds the broader Carson City average — a profile that reinforces community exclusivity and long-run value retention.

GROWTH & APPRECIATION
Clear Creek Tahoe estate values have grown steadily since community buildout, driven by the scarcity of private Coore and Crenshaw golf residences in the Western US, Northern Nevada's broader luxury demand, and California high-net-worth in-migration seeking Nevada tax advantages. The Nevada State Demographer projects continued growth for the Carson City area through 2030, and Clear Creek Tahoe's constrained homesite count limits future supply.
Clear Creek Tahoe and the US-50 southwest Carson City corridor have appreciated consistently, supported by the Coore and Crenshaw course pedigree, the guard-gated forested estate character, and the Lake Tahoe proximity that makes this the only address in Nevada that delivers all three in a single community. Nevada's role as a zero-income-tax jurisdiction continues to attract California high-net-worth principals who support demand regardless of broader market cycles.

THIS WEEKEND'S OPEN HOUSES
Ultra-luxury guard-gated estate communities like Clear Creek Tahoe do not hold public open houses — all showings are private and arranged through the listing agent after qualification. Contact our team to arrange a private tour of any active Clear Creek Tahoe listing or to get early access to off-market opportunities that never reach a public NNRMLS listing.
Build a budget around the particular home and your circumstances. Obtain current financing terms, property records and service quotes before comparing the cost of a move. A community average cannot establish your tax bill, insurance premium, association charges or savings.
Ask a tax adviser to review income sources, residency dates and any continuing connections to another state. California-source income can remain taxable after a move; the Franchise Tax Board explains part-year and nonresident rules. A headline tax-rate comparison does not calculate your savings.
Get the exact parcel's current tax bill and assessment record from its county. Confirm the property's abatement status and any effect of new construction, a change in use or your circumstances with the assessor. Do not apply a community-wide percentage to a purchase price or assume a tax cap is automatic.
Use lender estimates, insurance quotes, association documents and utility information for the exact address. Include maintenance, moving expenses and any special assessments in the comparison. Renting and buying involve different costs and obligations; future equity or resale gains are not assured.
Check school assignments for the enrollment year and ask about choice-program applications. Investigate parcel-specific hazards and permitted uses with the responsible agencies. Review travel routes and the features that matter to you instead of relying on a broad safety score or a neighborhood recommendation based on household type.
Discuss the homes, budget and timing you want to evaluate with the team.
Explore relocation planningRELOCATION TIMELINE
Plan the purchase and move around your circumstances and the property's verified requirements. Coordinate the transaction, possession and moving arrangements with the relevant parties. For license and vehicle questions, consult the Nevada DMV new-resident guide. Confirm your own deadlines and any exemptions directly with the agency.
Compare homes using your budget, accessibility needs, desired features and travel routes. Evaluate the particular property and surroundings using your own priorities; a neighborhood label does not establish its suitability.
Ask a lender for terms based on your circumstances and the property. Obtain the parcel tax record, insurance quotes, association charges and other recurring costs; a community-wide estimate cannot establish your payment or approval.
Discuss services, compensation, communication and touring arrangements with the agent. Confirm the details in the applicable agreement before relying on a promised service or access to a property.
Check school assignments with the district for the enrollment year and ask about separate program applications. Review parcel-specific flood, wildfire, utility, zoning and intended-use questions with the relevant agencies and service providers.
Discuss price, deposit, contingencies and the proposed schedule with your agent and lender. The signed contract determines the transaction deadlines; market averages do not promise when an offer will be accepted or a purchase will close.
Arrange appropriate inspections and review disclosures, title information, association documents and financing conditions. Investigate unresolved findings with the relevant specialist before the contractual decision deadlines.
Verify which utilities serve the address, what deposits or appointments are required, and when service can begin. Coordinate access and the moving date with the agreed possession terms and any building or association requirements.
Confirm completion and possession with the closing parties before arranging access. Consult the Nevada DMV's current new-resident guide for license, registration, documentation and exemption requirements that apply to you.
ECONOMY & JOBS
Clear Creek Tahoe residents are predominantly high-net-worth principals who work remotely or are retired — the local economy matters mainly for services and amenities. Carson City is anchored by Nevada state government and healthcare. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Reno-Sparks MSA runs near historic-low unemployment, with state government the largest employer and Carson Tahoe Health the leading private anchor.

Build a property-specific budget using a lender quote, the parcel tax estimate, insurance quotes and association documents. The starting amounts below are editable illustrations, not current local rates or verified fees. Compare the result with your Loan Estimate, and budget separately for maintenance, utilities and closing costs.
Inputs are assumptions, not a loan offer, insurance quote or parcel tax calculation. This simplified fixed-rate example applies the selected PMI rate below 20% down; actual mortgage-insurance eligibility, cost and cancellation depend on the loan. Maintenance, utilities, closing costs and special assessments are additional. Review the CFPB housing budget guide and confirm amounts with the relevant providers.
BUYING AND RENTING
Compare actual homes that meet the same needs over your expected time in the area. A purchase price and an advertised rent alone do not establish which option costs less. Use current quotes and separate monthly cash flow, upfront cash, and the amount you might recover when moving.
Start with the down payment, lender and closing charges, and any immediate repairs. Add principal and interest, property taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance where applicable, association dues, utilities and ongoing maintenance. Identify expenses paid outside escrow so they are included in your household budget.
For a later sale, model the remaining loan balance and selling expenses. Appreciation is uncertain; compare unchanged-price and lower-price cases as well as any growth assumption. Principal repayment builds an ownership interest, but that does not guarantee a profit or make every cash payment recoverable.
Use an actual lease offer and confirm the term, deposit, renewal provisions, parking, pet charges, utilities and renter's insurance. Record which maintenance services are included and any costs or restrictions associated with an early move. An advertised starting rent may not include every required charge.
Keep the comparison consistent: use the same time period, household needs and moving assumptions. Include the cash that remains available when a down payment is not used, without assuming a guaranteed investment return. Your need for flexibility and responsibility for repairs also matter alongside the financial figures.
There is no verified community-wide holding period or five-year equity gain shown here. Ask your lender to explain financing assumptions and have a tax professional assess any claimed tax benefit for your circumstances. Keep a copy of the quotes and dates so you can update the comparison before making an offer.
PROPERTY-SPECIFIC ASSOCIATION COSTS
A community name does not establish a property's current dues or all the associations that govern it. Obtain the applicable resale package, budget and governing documents for the exact address. Confirm the effective date and payment frequency of each fee with the association or its manager.
Identify master and sub-association dues separately. Check whether utilities, exterior maintenance, insurance, amenities or club access are included, optional or billed separately. A listing's monthly figure may omit a quarterly or annual charge, and an advertised amenity does not establish membership rights.
Ask about transfer, document, capital-contribution and other transaction fees, as well as approved or proposed assessments. Confirm who pays each item under the contract. Review available reserve and budget information; historical dues are not a guarantee of future charges.
Verify the actual rules for leasing, pets, parking, property changes and amenity access. Age restrictions and gate staffing require their own current documentation. Do not assume neighboring subdivisions or similarly named communities have identical rules, services or fees.
COMMUTE & TRANSPORTATION
US-50 is the primary artery from Clear Creek Tahoe — Carson City is 15 minutes east; Lake Tahoe South Shore is 25 minutes west. Residents drive by design: the forested estate setting is car-dependent, and the corridor ranks among the most scenic commutes in the Western US per U.S. Census ACS data. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is 50 minutes north via US-50 and I-580.

Quick Answer
Most Clear Creek Tahoe purchases close in 45–60 days with jumbo financing; all-cash offers close in 7–21 days. Ultra-luxury jumbo loans at $2.5M–$8M+ require additional underwriting steps, so 60 days is the prudent timeline. Club membership approval runs in parallel — confirm that process before writing an offer. Carson City uses Nevada escrow companies, not attorneys.
Quick Answer
All Clear Creek Tahoe purchases require jumbo financing — most lenders want a minimum 720 credit score for loans at $2.5M–$8M+, with 720–740 qualifying for standard jumbo terms and scores above 760 accessing the best rate tiers. At a $4,000,000 purchase with 25% down and a 7% rate, the difference between a 720 and 760 credit score can save $500–$800 per month in interest cost. Most Clear Creek Tahoe buyers also present 12–18 months of cash reserves beyond the down payment. All-cash buyers bypass the credit score requirement entirely — a common structure at this price tier. Get pre-qualified by a lender with ultra-luxury jumbo experience in Northern Nevada before touring.
Clear Creek Tahoe FAQ — 18 Answers
Clear Creek Tahoe is one of Nevada's most exclusive private addresses. New custom homes start around $2.5 million; resales range $3M–$8M; and valley-view estates exceed $10 million per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89705. The ultra-luxury corridor median runs near $847,500 according to Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS. Homesite-only parcels are also available.
Clear Creek Tahoe occupies a category of its own in Northern Nevada — a private, guard-gated community of roughly 2,136 acres set amid Ponderosa pine forest southwest of Carson City, anchored by a Coore and Crenshaw-designed 18-hole course ranked among the very best private golf courses in Nevada by GOLF Magazine and Golfweek. No other Northern Nevada community combines that level of golf pedigree, forested estate scale, guard-gated privacy, and direct US-50 access to Lake Tahoe and Carson City.
Yes — Clear Creek Tahoe is a private, guard-gated community. Access is restricted to members, homeowners, and guests, with staffed entry around the clock. Buyers who want the highest tier of residential security and privacy in Northern Nevada will find Clear Creek Tahoe one of very few communities in Nevada that delivers both guard-gated living and a nationally ranked private golf course on forested estate land.
HOA and club membership dues at Clear Creek Tahoe reflect the ultra-luxury amenity package — the 22,000 sq ft clubhouse, Coore and Crenshaw course, Twin Pines lake club, fitness center, guest cottages, pub, and pro shop. Exact current dues and any initiation fees should be confirmed directly with the community during escrow, as golf club membership and HOA structures can evolve. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for current figures and to connect buyers with community representatives.
Clear Creek Tahoe was developed by Clear Creek Tahoe, the community's founding developer, on approximately 2,136 acres of historic ranch land southwest of Carson City. Established around 2014, the community features a Coore and Crenshaw golf course, a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse and fitness center, the Twin Pines lake club, guest cottages, a pub, and a pro shop. Homesites range from just under an acre to nearly 5.5 acres, with custom homes built by buyers' own architects and builders.
Clear Creek Tahoe is located in Carson City and served by the Carson City School District — Nevada's state capital has its own independent school district, separate from the Washoe County School District. Many luxury buyers at this price point also consider private school options in the Reno-Tahoe area. Specific elementary, middle, and high school assignments depend on the address; confirm current zoning with the Carson City School District before purchasing. GreatSchools publishes ratings for Carson City campuses at greatschools.org.
Clear Creek Tahoe is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Carson City and the State Capitol via US-50 — a direct corridor through the foothills. Lake Tahoe's South Shore is about 25 minutes west on US-50, and Stateline casinos are just beyond that. Reno-Tahoe International Airport is roughly 50 minutes north via US-50 and I-580. Minden and Gardnerville in the Carson Valley are about 20 minutes south on US-395.
Clear Creek Tahoe's amenity suite is among the most comprehensive of any private community in Nevada: an 18-hole Coore and Crenshaw golf course ranked by GOLF Magazine and Golfweek as one of the top private courses in the state; a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse and fitness center; the Twin Pines lake club; guest cottages for members' visitors; a pro shop; and a pub on-site. The Ponderosa pine forest setting and Carson Valley views frame every amenity in the community.
Property taxes at Clear Creek Tahoe fall under Carson City's own municipal structure. Nevada's effective property-tax rate runs roughly 0.5–0.7% of taxable value, and the state caps annual increases on a primary residence at 3% under Nevada Revised Statutes 361.471. On a $4,000,000 Clear Creek Tahoe estate, the annual tax bill typically runs approximately $20,000–$28,000 per Carson City Assessor data — a modest carrying cost relative to comparable California estate markets. Nevada also levies no state income tax, a meaningful annual benefit at this income tier.
Ultra-luxury guard-gated properties at Clear Creek Tahoe move at a deliberately measured pace — estate homes in the $3M–$8M range typically go pending in 73 to 120 days or more per NNRMLS data for ZIP 89705, as the qualified buyer pool for private Nevada golf estates is global rather than local. New listings in this tier attract serious attention from Bay Area executives, California tech founders, and international buyers seeking a Nevada primary or secondary residence. Inventory is extremely limited at any given time.
Clear Creek Tahoe is primarily custom-built single-family estate homes on large forested parcels ranging from under an acre to nearly 5.5 acres. New custom homes generally start around $2.5 million, and buyers typically bring their own architects and builders to craft residences tailored to their specifications. Resale estate homes range from roughly $3 million to $8 million, with valley-view properties exceeding $10 million. The community also offers homesite-only parcels for buyers who want to design and build their own estate from the ground up.
Ultra-luxury private golf communities with nationally ranked courses and guard-gated settings on significant acreage have demonstrated exceptional value retention in Nevada's scarce supply environment. ZIP 89705 southwest of Carson City offers the Lake Tahoe corridor lifestyle at Nevada tax terms — zero state income tax and a 3% property-tax cap under NRS 361.471 — that no California comparable can match. According to Nevada State Demographer projections, the Carson City area is expected to see continued growth through 2030, and Clear Creek Tahoe's development constraints (limited parcels, forested ranch land) mean supply cannot meaningfully increase.
Clear Creek Tahoe is Nevada's only ultra-luxury guard-gated golf community on forested Sierra foothill acreage with a Coore and Crenshaw course. ArrowCreek in South Reno (Washoe County) offers guard-gated golf at $700K–$1.5M — Clear Creek Tahoe occupies a price tier $2M–$10M+ above it. Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno shares the luxury golf category but uses a different course designer and sits at a different elevation. For buyers who want Nevada's best private golf with full guard-gate security and forested estate parcels near Lake Tahoe, no other community in the state competes directly.
Ultra-luxury estate rentals in the Clear Creek Tahoe tier typically run $10,000–$25,000 per month or more per Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS data on the Northern Nevada luxury rental market, drawing executives on relocation assignments, remote-work principal residents, and seasonal Lake Tahoe corridor occupants. The community's private membership structure may impose restrictions on short-term rentals — always confirm rental policies with the HOA before purchasing for income purposes.
Before buying at Clear Creek Tahoe, confirm the full HOA and club membership structure — initiation fees, ongoing dues, and any transfer fees. Review parcel-specific easements and building covenants on the homesite, and budget for a thorough inspection on any existing estate home covering construction quality, site drainage on forested acreage, and any deferred maintenance. Ultra-luxury transactions at $847,500+ in ZIP 89705 benefit from agents who have closed at this price tier and understand the due-diligence depth required. Most Carson City transactions close through Nevada escrow companies in 30–60 days at this price point. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for a confidential consultation.
All Clear Creek Tahoe purchases require jumbo financing — estate homes start at $2.5 million, well above any conforming loan limit. Most lenders want 20–25% down, a 720+ credit score, and 12–18 months of cash reserves for jumbo loans at this tier. On a $4,000,000 estate at 25% down, the down payment alone is $1 million. Some buyers at this price point purchase all-cash, which shortens the close to 7–21 days. Work with a lender experienced in ultra-luxury jumbo transactions before touring; our team can refer vetted Northern Nevada jumbo specialists.
Ultra-luxury guard-gated estate transactions require additional due diligence layers: confirm all HOA and club membership obligations (initiation fees, ongoing dues, transfer costs), review any building covenants on the homesite regarding design standards and construction timelines, inspect forested acreage drainage and fire-defensible space requirements, and verify access to the private course as part of ownership. On the upside, Clear Creek Tahoe's limited homesite count and Coore and Crenshaw course pedigree create a supply constraint that has historically supported value retention in comparable private golf communities nationwide.

These are the eight additional queries Clear Creek Tahoe buyers type into search engines — answered with specifics from the U.S. Census Bureau, Reno/Sparks Association of REALTORS, and Carson City records. Each covers ZIP 89705 data points buyers use to evaluate Clear Creek Tahoe against other Northern Nevada communities.
Yes — Clear Creek Tahoe is Nevada's most exclusive private golf estate community, combining a nationally ranked Coore and Crenshaw course, guard-gated privacy on 2,136 forested acres, the Twin Pines lake club, and 25-minute access to Lake Tahoe South Shore. It consistently attracts ultra-high-net-worth buyers, California executives seeking Nevada tax residency, and serious private golf enthusiasts who want the best private course in the state in their backyard.
Clear Creek Tahoe is in ZIP code 89705, which covers the southwest Carson City corridor along US-50 between Carson City and Lake Tahoe South Shore. This ZIP carries the highest estate values of any Carson City ZIP per Northern Nevada Regional MLS data, anchored almost entirely by Clear Creek Tahoe's guard-gated Coore and Crenshaw golf estate community.
Yes — Clear Creek Tahoe offers both custom homesites (ranging from under 1 to nearly 5.5 acres) for buyers who want to design their own estate, and resale homes from previous owners. Active inventory is extremely limited at any time — typically 5–8 listings. Many opportunities are off-market. Contact Nevada Real Estate Group at (775) 277-2120 for current availability including homesites and unlisted opportunities.
Exceptionally quiet and dark — the forested 2,136-acre gated setting eliminates public through-traffic entirely, and the Ponderosa pine forest creates genuine dark-sky conditions most nights. The Carson Valley and Lake Tahoe foothills provide a dramatic evening skyline visible from estate lots with westward orientation. Stateline casino and dining options are 25–30 minutes west on US-50 for evenings out.

Clear Creek Tahoe's amenity suite includes: an 18-hole Coore and Crenshaw private course ranked among Nevada's best by GOLF Magazine and Golfweek; the Twin Pines lake club; a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse and fitness center; guest cottages for member visitors; a pub and pro shop on-site; and private forested trails through the 2,136-acre property. Lake Tahoe South Shore beach and ski resort access is 25–30 minutes away.
Clear Creek Tahoe sits at elevation in the Sierra foothills southwest of Carson City — winter conditions are more significant than in Carson City proper and can include snow accumulation on estate roads and the internal community circulation. US-50 west toward Lake Tahoe can require chains or AWD/4WD during major storm events. Most Clear Creek Tahoe residents maintain AWD or 4WD vehicles as a practical necessity for year-round access.
For everyday services — grocery, pharmacy, retail — downtown Carson City is approximately 15 minutes east on US-50. Costco and national retail are within 20 minutes. South Lake Tahoe's resort dining, boutique retail, and casino entertainment are 25–30 minutes west. Reno's broader retail and restaurant scene is approximately 50 minutes north via US-50 and I-580.
