If you are considering a golf course home in Northern
California, you must visit Winchester Country Club, a community nestled in the foothills above Sacramento. Although it is close
to the historic town of Auburn, with convenient access to I-80, the peaceful atmosphere
is that of a secluded mountain retreat.

Designed by Robert Trent Sr. and Robert Trent Jr., GolfWeek
has twice named Winchester one of America’s best Real Estate Golf Courses. It
is challenging, with amazing mountain and city views. A golfer’s review of the
course can be found here.
While generally loved and very well reviewed, the most
significant complaints about playing at Winchester are from golfers dissatisfied
with the cost, citing Darkhorse as a comparable course that is much more
affordable.
The clubhouse, reminiscent of a European hunting lodge, is
impressive and well-kept. A popular wedding venue, couples who celebrated their
nuptials here have only good things to say. Local, fresh produce from California
is showcased by the clubhouse’s seasonal and unique dinner creations, which
change monthly. With rave reviews for the staff and attendants,
excellent service is clearly a top priority at Winchester.
With saunas, a swim and tennis center, spa and deck areas,
equestrian trails, hiking, biking and nature parks, there are a variety of activities
to keep you busy here. The proximity to Lake Tahoe also affords skiing,
fishing, hunting, rock climbing and rafting within an hour's drive.
Although originally intended to be a private club, at the
time of this article, Winchester is open to the public, although that may
change in the future. After foreclosure in 2008, the community was bank-owned
until Real Capital Solutions purchased it in 2013. Since then, they have revitalized
Winchester and currently offer a variety of home sites for sale, as well as
homes under construction which can be viewed here.

These custom home sites vary in size from 1 to 6 acres, and
in price from $200,000 to $1 million. Custom built homes generally run from $1
to 1.5 million. Available home sites may be viewed using this interactive map on the website.
With 14 sales in the first half of 2015, Winchester is up and
coming once again! If you would like to take a tour of Winchester, or discuss current listings, please contact me to learn more about this amazing community!
