With stunning backyard views of the Tom Fazio 18-hole championship golf course and the pleasantly hypnotic lull from the water feature by the entry of this Martis Camp home, you may find it challenging to ever step foot inside. But once you do, you’ll find yourself even further mesmerized. Beyond is a 6,911 square foot scene of stunning simplicity and abundant grace. There’s a great room with stone fireplace, peaked ceilings with distressed wood beams, and windows that frame an idyllic vista of the 6th tee box and the distant Carson Range in shades of green and blue. En route to the primary suite with an intimate fireplace, private deck, and tall sunrise windows is an office that shares a window with that same alluring water feature. The kitchen is just off the great room and is centered around an island that’s ideal for morning breakfasts and evening socials. There’s a handcrafted, French Lacanche stove and a rustic farm table for intimate coffee talk. Just out the kitchen door is a heated, covered dining room on the deck with a barbecue bay. The dining room just beyond the kitchen is seated in the evening glow that arises from west-facing windows. Down the sleek, modern hallway is another suite with morning sun and, top of the stairs, another bedroom with elevated views of the golf course. Downstairs is an expansive media room with full bar, glassed-in wine cabinet, billiards, shuffleboard, three big screen tvs, a lounge, a cove for heated board games, a golf simulator room, and accordion doors that open to a patio with hot tub, large firepit, lovely lawn, and views of the forest and golf course. There’s also a bunk room with two full beds, two twin beds and one sleeper couch.

In that community Barron’s calls, “The best place to own a second home in Tahoe,” this 5-bedroom, 7 bathroom home owns a location that’s nothing short of perfection and a design plan that dazzles from one room to the next.
