Property Description

Perched on a basaltic ledge with panoramic views of creek, forest, night skies, and the front-and-center profiles of Sawtooth and Lookout Mountain, this Martis Camp estate is both a sanctuary and a springboard for one’s imagination. The commanding view unfolds not only for those enjoying the heated, flagstone patio with the balcony view but also for those drawn down the staircase to the separate dry sauna, lap pool and hot tub area secreted away in the hillside below. Those who’ve found the south-facing sun of this 5,145 square-foot home’s living space enjoy the vista as well. Accordion doors in the great room fold away to create an indiscernible connection between indoors and out. The ski runs on Lookout Mountain and the Backside of Northstar California Resort looms beyond the kitchen with its large counter and the unique floor that ties this whole level together, a provocative spread of gorgeously curved wood planks. And the nearby dining room frames the scene with massive windows that go well with any meal. There’s a pantry tucked behind the kitchen and access to the patio with barbecue bay, covered/heated dining, and firepit. From the west wing of this 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom home, a staircase leads to two guest suites – one with a mini-kitchen, another with a fireplace, and both with private mountain view decks. To the left of the massive front pivot door is media room with views of Sawtooth, a huge tv, and access to the patio. A bit further along is the primary suite with modern fireplace, private patio with expansive mountain views, and window seating with views of the Carson Range and Lookout Mountain. One step into its bathroom and you’re taken by how perfectly centered the impressive crown of Sawtooth Mountain is framed in the expansive window. On this wing of the home is another hallway that wanders off to two bunk rooms. Just beyond the front door of this rare Martis Camp estate – and only a short bike ride away – are some of the community’s most treasured amenities: the Golf Practice Field and Tom Fazio masterpiece golf course, the Camp Lodge with fine dining, spa, and fitness center, and the Family Barn, home to bowling, an art loft, movie theater, family swimming pool, fishing lake, and the open-air amphitheater that hosts summer concerts beneath the stars. Back at home, the ongoing sense of awe one encounters – whether seated by the great room fireplace or while beholding the scene that unfolds beyond the patio – explains why this home stands out in Martis Camp, that community Forbes dubbed, “Possibly the best four-season private community in the U.S.”
