Nakoma: Your second home escape in the Sierra
Owning a digitally connected second home away from it all in the mountains is drawing the attention of savvy buyers. And no place checks off all the boxes like Nakoma and its range of resort amenities just 55 minutes from Truckee-Tahoe.
MAKE YOUR GREAT ESCAPE.
Venture less than an hour north of Truckee and you break free of the increasing crowds and chaos of Tahoe to a region of mountain peaks, meandering rivers and alpine lakes — the Lost Sierra.
There you will discover Nakoma Life. The dynamic resort community traces its roots to the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, designer of Nakoma’s singular hilltop Lodge featuring Restaurant FIFTY44 and views that end only when the sun sets.
But the new centerpiece of the community is Altitude, Nakoma’s shining 12,000square-foot family recreation center featuring heated outdoor pool, fitness center, climbing wall, theater, little- and big-kid game rooms, Bistro and Bar and more.
FAMILY. LEGACY.
Luxury mountain living in an array of options come to life at Nakoma. From spacious homesites to completed residences the value proposition of Nakoma is compelling: Nowhere within driving distance of the Bay Area is there such tremendous opportunity.
Average lot sizes are two acres at Nakoma, with mountaintop and river view homesites up to 15 acres.
The value of land is often overlooked – as consulting expert Jonathan Miller notes: When property appreciates, it’s the land that is appreciating.
The actual structure is depreciating. The Wall Street Journal reports that buyers across the U.S. are showing increased interest in lots with expansive acreage.
NAKOMA. NOW.
For those who wish to move right in, or build on an accelerated timetable, Nakoma offers move-in ready homes and the Ascend Residences, sophisticated, contemporary mountain homes that feature available turnkey furnishing packages from Restoration Hardware. Ascend floor plans range from 1,200 to 1,800 and 2,700 square feet. They are ready to build and include the ability to earn income by placing your home into the resortmanaged rental program.
For a family considering a
dual-residence lifestyle, Ascend is the epitome of lock-and-leave convenience.
LIVE. WORK. PLAY.
At Nakoma you’ll leave the office behind, but continue to be connected — with work and the outdoors. Nakoma’s up/ down gig-speed fiber-optic network means you can work where you love to play.
In the Lost Sierra, you’re connected to adventure — world-class cycling on the road, gravel or single-track, fishing the wild-and-scenic Middle Fork of the Feather River as well as endless trails for hiking and snowshoeing. Nakoma is also home to The Dragon, an incredible 18-hole golf course with postcard views from every tee.
