Its one minute to Martis Camps private ski lodge and the Martis Camp Chairlift, two more minutes to the tennis pavilion, and only a dozen steps or so to the chair by the firepit on the back deck overlooking the Pacific Crest. Adding to its ideal location is the fact that this 5-bed, 5.5-bath Martis Camp estate is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. Beyond the front door is a great room separated from the expansive deck by accordion doors. The kitchen enjoys this same view and is accented by a large counter and a pass-through window to the deck, easing the transfer of food and beverages from the kitchen to the barbecue and deck. Before the kitchen is a dining room with forest views, while the hallway leads past a pantry, office, and to the primary suite with its own deck, fireplace and an enticingly grand bathtub. Downstairs is a media room with big screen tv, mini-bar, and a large covered patio with lawn, hot tub, and spiral stairs winding back up to the upper deck. Nearby is a bunk room that, a bedroom, and a junior suite, both with views of the Pacific Crest. Appliances in this 4,398 square-foot home include a KitchenAid fridge and Thermador stove. Bold iron beams in the living area lend a handsome elegance to this home, conveniently placed in that community that Forbes calls, Possibly the best four-season private community in the U.S.
