Welcome to Galena Forest Estates
Nestled in the woods at the base of Mount Rose, lies Galena Forest, a stunning and serene community that offers the convenience of Reno while providing the tranquility of Tahoe living. Situated off Mt. Rose Highway, beneath St. James Village and above Montreux, this community presents an ideal location for those who revel in outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, and soaking up the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe.
Adding to its allure is the convenience of being close to Reno and all the city’s amenities. The charm of Galena Creek and the wooded Galena Forest, flanked by the Toiyabe National Forest, makes it an ideal mountain-living destination, with beautiful bespoke properties occupying half-acre to one-acre plots. While some homes are subject to homeowner’s associations, others are not. Home prices range from $800,000 to several million.
