About This Property

Designed by renowned architect Jack Hawkins and featured in Dwell Magazine, this award-winning Martis Camp residence is one of the community’s most architecturally significant offerings. Set on 2.7 private acres bordering conservancy land—one of Martis Camp’s largest parcels—the property offers exceptional privacy, scale, and seamless connection to the surrounding forest. Conceived as a modern interpretation of mountain living, the home unfolds across more than 8,700 square feet of living space, plus approximately 2,800 square feet of heated garage and storage. Warm, refined materiality—including wood, concrete, steel, and seamless anigre cabinetry—is balanced by soaring glass walls, abundant natural light, and a remarkable sense of discretion. At the heart of the home, the great room anchors daily living beneath dramatic ceilings and expansive walls of glass. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both entertaining and functionality, featuring Gaggenau appliances, dual ovens, custom cabinetry, a casual dining nook, and a butler’s pantry with dedicated service access. A lofted office with private deck captures Northstar views, while a separate wing offers four guest/family bedrooms plus a dedicated media and game lounge. Privately positioned, the primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat with forest views and a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and custom terrazzo floors crafted from crushed marble and tumbled sea glass. A remarkable 2023 addition introduced a nearly 1,000-square-foot multi-level boutique dressing suite and private retreat, crafted with steel framing, glass and wood floors, and integrated custom storage. Exceptional as designed, the space also offers flexibility for future adaptation as a wellness studio, wine cellar, creative retreat, or other bespoke use. Outdoor living extends across multiple private decks designed for year-round enjoyment. A detached guesthouse adds flexibility for hosting, while the four-car heated garage and motor court are thoughtfully positioned at the rear of the property to preserve the home’s clean architectural lines. Arrival is unforgettable, with a grand circular drive, additional covered parking, and an ethereal covered entry that creates a striking first impression. Recipient of Tahoe Quarterly’s Best of Tahoe Award, the residence has also earned recognition from the AIA Nevada Citation Awards, Hansgrohe + Axor National Bathroom Design Awards, and the Concrete Masonry Association of California and Nevada, along with a cover feature in Das Ideale Heim, Switzerland’s oldest architecture and interior design magazine. Located within Martis Camp—the private gated community Forbes described as “possibly the best four-season private community in the U.S.”—this is a rare opportunity to own a home of extraordinary architectural pedigree, privacy, and presence.
