A couple relaxes by the firepit, each drawn in a different direction. One gazes left, captivated by the tempting ski slopes on the flank of Lookout Mountain. The other looks right, drawn to the Springs Pavilion. Yet, despite their differing perspectives, they share an undeniable appreciation for the home before them—an estate that radiates both luxury and warmth. They’re not the first to fall under its spell. This 4,472-square-foot Martis Camp masterpiece, featuring five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, has earned high praise, including an acclaimed feature in California Homes Magazine. The writer was particularly taken by the stunning views, the soft palette of muted pastels, and the award-winning interior design that infuses modern farmhouse elegance into this mountain retreat. From the moment you step through the front door, the home’s inviting spirit takes hold. A grand great room welcomes you with soaring picklewood ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an abundance of oversized windows that bathe the space in natural light. Beyond the sliding doors, a wraparound deck offers the perfect setting for outdoor enjoyment, complete with a firepit, barbecue bay, hot tub, and a covered dining area with its own fireplace. Every angle of the home is designed to embrace its surroundings, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the kitchen commands attention with its expansive island, fostering both connection and culinary creativity. Outfitted with wood shaker cabinets, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, and top-tier Thermador appliances—including a range, refrigerator, wine cooler, and dual dishwashers—it’s as stylish as it is functional. To the left of the entryway, a hallway leads to a guest suite that frames enchanting views of Lookout Mountain. On the opposite wing, a media room and the primary suite await. The latter boasts a built-in office nook, fireplace, and private patio access with a hot tub and outdoor dining. Upstairs, a custom staircase leads to a choice: turn left to the bunk room with its own media space and views of Lookout Mountain, or head right to two additional bedrooms. From here, guests can admire both the Tennis Pavilion and the playful Springs Pavilion, which features bocce courts, a tree fort, a meandering creek, a barbecue courtyard, and an expanse of lawn framed by towering pines. This home’s thoughtful amenities extend beyond its layout. Hardwood floors, refined finishes, and carefully curated design elements create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. Outside, the firepit, built-in barbecue, and multiple dining spaces—including a covered al fresco area with its own fireplace—ensure that every gathering is as inviting as the home itself.
