Juniper Hills-Juniper Creek Ranch has mountain views and private land
In the dense evergreen forests of Northern California, Juniper Hills-Juniper Creek Ranch offers a private, nature-oriented way of life, with large parcels of land and views of the mountain skyline. While somewhat isolated, it is a short drive from the town of Truckee and is close to some of the country's most renowned natural landscapes, featuring ski mountains and pristine bodies of water, such as Lake Tahoe. "It's a beautiful small-town community with access to the outdoors, regardless of your sport. If you're not into cross-country skiing, we have plowed trails in the winter," says Stephanie Fillinger, referencing the Truckee area. Fillinger is a broker at Engel & Volkers who has lived in the area for over 30 years. "If you want big culture, you can get to Sacramento and San Francisco. You can be at the ocean in half a day. It's versatile, and it's always sunny even though we get a ton of snow."
Expansive mountain views surround homes nestled among evergreen forests.
Glenshire Pond Totem stands as a cherished landmark in the community.
