About Schaffer's Mill

If Martis Camp is the legacy club and Lahontan is the private one, Schaffer's Mill is the relaxed, family-forward choice — and it carries Tahoe's most member-friendly club structure. Built on 475 acres between downtown Truckee and Northstar, it mixes single-family homesites with lower-maintenance Mountain Lodge townhomes, so it works for a wider range of buyers and budgets.

The community is built around a Johnny Miller and John Harbottle golf course and a 7.4-acre Club House Village with a pool, fitness, sports shop, market and café. The club is a right-to-use structure with a modest one-time enrollment and no capital calls.
