Northstar California Resort

Northstar California Resort, Ritz-Side Luxe & Groomer Glory

*Listings Coming Soon*

North of Lake Tahoe in the Martis Valley, Northstar California blends groomer-perfect laps, refined village energy, and a legit park scene anchored by mid-mountain pines and the Ritz-Carlton. It’s known for meticulously maintained terrain, family-friendly flow, and a polished base area that stays lively after last chair. Northstar California Resort real estate ranges from village condos steps to the Big Springs Gondola, to true ski-in/ski-out homes in the Mountainside enclave, and luxe mid-mountain options by the Ritz—plus nearby gated communities with resort-adjacent amenities.

The Northstar California Lifestyle

• Walkable Alpine Village: Center your day around the ice rink and fire pits. Cafés, gear shops, and après spots are just a few steps from the Big Springs Gondola, so you can stash the car and relax.
• Groomer Heaven With Sneaky Trees: Immaculate corduroy sets up confidence-building laps for families and beginners, while glade pockets off of key lifts reward storm days without feeling intimidating.
• Parks With Pedigree: Northstar’s progression-focused park system scales from kid-friendly features to legit jump/rail lines, so riders can level up without leaving the resort’s core terrain.
• Mid-Mountain Luxury Base Camp: The Ritz-Carlton adds spa, dining, and ski-valet convenience — ideal for multigenerational groups who want easy meetups, long lunches, and quick returns to the lift.
• Four-Season Rhythm: In summer the bike park, hiking loops, and nearby golf keep the same hub-and-spoke convenience — ride or hike by day, then roll straight into patio dining and live music.

Updates At Northstar California Resort

• Skip The Ticket Window: My Epic App + Bluetooth/RFID scanning has rolled out across Tahoe with hands-free mobile tickets you can go straight to the lifts.
• Summer Trail/Build Work: The bike park continues to expand with new builds and extended hours.

Talk To A Northstar California Resort Real Estate Expert

From village-core lock-and-leave, to true ski-in/ski-out, Northstar California Resort real estate options line up with how you live. In the Village at Northstar, look at Catamount, Iron Horse North/South, One Village Place, and Northstar Lodge for near-gondola condos and rental potential. Mid-mountain, the Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe and the Mountainside community including Home Run, Boulders, and Martis 25/M25, deliver private owner amenities with direct ski access. Nearby luxury communities — Martis Camp, Lahontan, and Schaffer’s Mill — add golf-centric estates a quick hop from the lifts.

Homeowners at Northstar unlock a layer of perks that create a private mountain experience: Martis Camp homeowners can click straight onto the snow via the Martis Camp Express to Lookout Mountain, while Tahoe Mountain Club members slip into exclusive lounges — Schaffer’s Camp mid-mountain and the Alpine Club in the Village — for ski valet, gear storage, and elevated dining. In the Mountainside enclave, the Tree House owners’ clubhouse adds a pool, fitness, kids’ spaces, and year-round programming just steps from the slopes. And across much of classic Northstar, NPOA membership brings a full rec center, including pools, courts, gym, plus an on-demand shuttle that moves you door-to-lift without touching the car.
