For the most current snow conditions, most skiers will go online. But here at this Martis Camp home, they’ll have the option of going to the back deck. Or the dining room. Or fireside in the great room. All provide real time feedback on slopes that are little more than a one-minute walk away. This 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom Martis Camp home is ideally seated in a rare, lush pocket of forest that gazes directly up at Lookout Mountain, Martis Camp’s high-speed Express Chairlift, the private member’s only Lookout Lodge and the slopes of Northstar California that rise above it. And in the summer, that scene becomes the Aerial Adventure Park. Of course, skiing and zip-lining must compete with the media room with billiards, wine cellar, full bar and hot tub that provide a constant draw to friends and family. This 5,008 square-foot home’s interior is as alluring as the views and setting it enjoys. The show begins the moment the front doors open, revealing the mountain view beyond a great room with tall windowed doors and towering stone fireplace. The dining room nestles up to windows with the same scene, its doors opening to a deck with firepit and barbecue bay. Just beyond the dining room is a kitchen whose large counter and corner nook share that same vista as does the nearby bedroom. The primary suite has an adjacent office, rock fireplace, deep tub, and private deck. Downstairs centers around an epic game room with billiards, fireplace, big screen tv, well-appointed bar with mini kitchen, and a walk-in wine cellar. There’s a covered patio beyond the game room with mature landscapes and that same amazing view of Lookout. There’s also a bunkroom down here along with two bedrooms – one with a secret garden and the other with immediate access to the hot tub.

All this located in a community the Forbe’s call “Possibly the Best Four-Season Private Community in the U.S.”
