Tucked into the side of a hill not far from Martis Camp’s Private Ski Lodge is this expansive estate, whose elevated perch radiates a sense of spaciousness. The end result is a light and loftiness that exists from the moment you step in to this 4,575 square foot home until you’ve finished the last of the hot chocolate and final tale of the night from the firepit terrace at the back of the home, just steps from the National Forest bordering this home. That profile of a 5 bedroom / 5.5 bathroom home boldly facing east and north toward Martis Valley and the Carson Range sets the tone for a place that’s one with nature. Towering windows and peaked ceilings frame views that spill into the elevated living area with great room, dining room, and a kitchen with hooded stove, large counter, and back door access to a two-tier deck with outdoor dining, hot tub, firepit, and trails running alongside the national forest that borders the back property. Down a glass hallway, you have a choice of patios to your left or right – the one beyond the kitchen and another with covered/heated dining and views of Martis Valley. Further on is the primary suite with a fireplace and corner windows with north-facing views. Upstairs hosts two suites while heading downstairs from the front entry takes you to a media room with full bar including fridge, wine cooler, a sink, two beer taps, and bar stools and a large entertainment area that continues on to the adjacent patio with covered bar and seating. Downstairs also includes a bunkroom and another bedroom, both with spacious windows.
