How We Define Luxury Real Estate in the Mountains at Whitetail Club

Luxury. A popular term that conjures up all sorts of images. Oftentimes, these images are narrowly defined and, let’s be honest, somewhat boring. We’ve seen them before, and everybody seems to represent them the same way. But when it comes down to it, luxury is purely subjective. What might be lavish to you might be arduous for others, and vice versa. That more personal, subjective definition of luxury has encouraged people to look beyond the norm and find true splendor in unique locations. Whitetail Club in McCall, Idaho, is one of those places where luxury real estate is being reimagined. A diamond set amongst the rugged wilds of the Gem State.

Location has always been and continues to be an important factor when purchasing a home. But during the pandemic, a shift occurred. High-net-worth buyers looked beyond the standard definition and considered the fact that ultra-luxury living wasn’t solely confined to heavily populated metropolitan cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, or even Boise. Instead, they sought refuge in nature. A slice of paradise that offered wide open spaces, natural serenity, and connection.

Located just over 100 miles north of Boise, McCall became the sanctuary buyers were searching for. And Whitetail Club became THE destination. Nestled high in the Salmon River Mountains, our community offered a respite far from the crowds, but still close to the action, albeit a different kind. Mountain golf, winter sports, and backcountry flying, are just three of the endless activities available to you at Whitetail Club. The combination of this adventure-rich location, just steps outside your front door, makes for an ideal home destination.

Recognized as one of the top 150 country clubs by Platinum Clubs of America, Whitetail Club is built on more than just exclusivity. Our mission is to create lifetime memories for our members and guests, and we do that by providing world-class amenities and facilities, curated experiences, and an elevated lifestyle rooted in the Idaho wilds and all that they provide. A truly singular experience. Our members get to tee off on our championship golf course, have priority bookings at our uniquely authentic Idaho-inspired spa, exclusive access to dock their boats on property at our private marina, experience exhilarating shredding on our on-site mountain biking trails, and more. But exclusivity isn’t limited to the amenities and facilities we offer.

What truly sets us apart is the lived experiences. Thanks to our unique location, McCall is a year-round haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. No matter the season, there will always be a reason to get out and explore the beauty of McCall. And rather than have our members plan these adventures themselves, we curate and coordinate outdoor excursions they can enjoy alongside fellow members.

Whether it’s jet boat fishing in Hells Canyon, navigating Class III rapids, horseback riding through McCall’s scenic terrain, or sleigh rides for up close visits with wild Rocky Mountain elk, Whitetail Club ensures that the experience is effortless for everyone. Inside our gates, the experiences continue with competitive golf tournaments, five-course Winemaker Dinners, pickleball tournaments, sledding parties. You name it. This is where exclusivity meets the rugged beauty of McCall.

Except it’s not just exclusivity. Living in the mountains offers a profound sense of peace, solitude, and privacy. And that’s precisely what Legacy Ranch delivers. As the third phase of development at Whitetail Club, Legacy Ranch spans 365 acres along the edge of Idaho’s wilderness. With homesites ranging from 5 to 21 acres, you’ll find the space and stillness to create your ideal mountain retreat, all within the comfort of our private, gated community.

As Dan Scott, Whitetail Club’s designated Real Estate Broker, stated in the Forbes article, Time Being Money, Turnkey Residences Surge in Popularity, “[Buyers don’t want to] spend their time working with an architect, hassling with local government to get project approvals, and managing a builder until project completion. They want to step in and enjoy leaving the legwork to trusted professionals to get it done quickly and correctly.”

We understand that time is the ultimate luxury. And while we offer buyers the opportunity to build homes on our available homesites, we understand the desire and ease of purchasing custom, move-in-ready homes that are equipped with all the needs of a generational home in McCall. From mudrooms, expansive outdoor decks, home offices, wine rooms, in-home theaters, and even bowling alleys. Everything needed to fully live the Whitetail Club style of life.
