Building in Whitetail Club
Whitetail Club is a 1,300-acre private club community on the west side of McCall that opened in 2002. An 18-hole, 7,200-yard par-72 golf course co-designed by two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North. 350 feet of sandy Payette Lake shoreline with a 17,000-square-foot lakefront clubhouse and a full-service marina. Homesites from about an acre up to twenty-one in the Legacy Ranch expansion. Five minutes from McCall Municipal Airport, with its 6,000-foot runway.
What makes Whitetail Club distinctive
Private lake life with resort-level perks
350 feet of sandy shoreline on Payette Lake. A 17,000-square-foot lakefront clubhouse and a full-service marina with six member boats available to use. Preferred access to Shore Lodge, the 77-suite resort and spa in town.
Championship golf and year-round sport
18 holes, 7,200 yards, par 72, co-designed by Andy North. The Fish & Swim Club adds a saltwater pool, a stocked trout pond, pickleball, and volleyball. Ten miles of community singletrack biking and a 20-kilometer groomed Nordic trail system in winter.
Amenities that actually get used
A private ridgetop yurt. Five Discovery Cottages (750 square feet each) for member guests. Family programs that run throughout the season. The amenity set is deep enough that owners don't have to leave the community to fill a long weekend.
Estate-scale land
Typical homesites run about 1–5 acres. The Legacy Ranch expansion added 365 acres and thirty-six estate sites from 5 to 21 acres each. Private forested lots, fairway-facing lots, and ridge sites are all available.
Services that simplify life
Concierge, security, groundskeeping, and a members' staff that keeps the community running. For homeowners, the net effect is that a second or third home here is genuinely low-effort to own.
What a Whitetail Club project looks like
- Architectural review, early. The club's design guidelines are substantive. We sit down with owners and architects in pre-construction so drawings come back cleanly.
- Materials that hold up. Whitetail Club homes are built to a standard: stone, heavy timber, steel details, copper trim. We work with the specialty subs who do this work well, and our quality-control process keeps them on schedule.
- Lake access planning. Many owners come for the golf and stay for the water. Boat storage, launch staging, and seasonal logistics get planned in from day one.
- Estate-lot siting. On the larger Legacy Ranch sites, pre-construction includes walking the grade for view lines, winter sun, access, and outbuilding placement, not just picking a pad.
A builder who keeps answering the phone
Whitetail Club homes are often second homes, or third. Owners need a builder who's still there when they're three states away. That's why many of our Whitetail clients move from construction into a property services relationship with us: weekly inspections, winter readiness, storm response, and vendor coordination, all from the team that built the house.
Starting a conversation
The most useful first step is a walk on the lot with us, your architect, and your interior designer together. We'll flag what the club review will care about, what the site will cost to prep, and what a realistic build window looks like.
