A few steps one way or the other from this 8,711 square-foot home and you’re within a whisper of some of Martis Camp’s finest amenities, a feature that complements this stunning estate’s quality craftsmanship with a location that’s every bit as attractive. There’s the Family Barn just up the cul-du-sac as you pull into the driveway, the Camp Lodge a five-minute stroll away, and – just steps beyond a backyard with water feature, hot tub, firepit, and a cascade of decks and patios — a double fairway consisting of the 10th and 11th holes on the Tom Fazio masterpiece golf course. Maybe a mile or two beyond that stretch of green looms Lookout Mountain, the private member’s ski lodge and the slopes of Northstar California Resort. But perhaps the scene that’ll most likely stop you in your tracks is the one you encounter when you first set foot in this six bedroom, six-bathroom plus two half-bath estate. Here, captured in the towering windows of the great room and framed by its gracefully arched wood beams, Mother Nature and human nature mimic the elegant lines of one another, creating a scene that never ceases to stun. Beyond that great room and its large rock fireplace, doors open to a deck with sweeping views of fairway, forest and mountain. This same picture is what you’ll find from the dining room, as well as the nearby kitchen with a crescent shaped pyrolave (quarried lava slabs fired and glazed to perfect shine and strength) counter and nearby workspace/breakfast bar that attract the pancake crowd as well as those sharing stories long into the night.

Right of the entry a hallway leads to one of two primary suites, this one with morning exposures, fireplace, deep sunken bath, and the soothing rhythm of the backyard water feature. The custom-made floating staircase leads up to a large loft overlooking the great room, as well as another bedroom and the other primary suite with vaulted ceilings, fireplace and office space. Follow that staircase down and you’re immediately greeted by a spacious media room with big tv, fireplace, mini kitchen and backyard patio accessing the hot tub. There’s a bedroom stage right of the media room with two other bedrooms on the other side, one a bunk room and the other with access to the back patio.

In addition to its location, there’s an omnipresent attention to quality that explains why this home was awarded the “2014 Tahoe Craftsmanship Award.” Additionally, recent improvements include a new roof and a new generator. And as for those amenities that stand out and are all within a short walk one way or the other, they make this home an even more ideal location in that place Forbes considers, “Possibly the best four-season private community in the U.S.”
