There's a sense of anticipation and suspense as you drop down the circular driveway, past the gardens, water feature and courtyard that line the front door. Before you is a 5,742 square-foot Martis Camp mountain modern home with handsome features composed of metal and wood.

Beyond that front door is a scene that's even more impressive. There you'll encounter an east-facing wall of windows with doors swinging open to an expansive sun-filled patio. A glance to the left reveals a great room with abundant windows and a panoramic, modern fireplace of river rock and metal.

Beyond is a spacious wraparound patio with hot tub, firepit, covered dining, barbecue bay, glimpses of the 4th tee box on the Tom Fazio masterpiece golf course, and nights filled with good conversation and laughter. The kitchen and dining room share this same view, the kitchen with its large counter, colorful Bertazoni stove, and cabinets and appli

ances placed artfully behind picklewood facades, the dining room with a stunning chandelier and views that are just as brilliant. Nearby is an intimate room ideal as a library/reading nook or a setting well suited to a long night of board games. Right of the entry is the primary suite and, adjacent to it, a spacious office with fireplace and big screen tv.

Beyond this primary suite's patio doors is a hot tub situated beneath night skies that run heavy on the stars. The wing left of the living space has an upstairs area with media room that serves as a hub to two bedrooms and one suite. At the bottom of the stairs is a courtyard with a water feature fronting the guest house, a one-bedroom/full-kitchen guest cottage that mirrors the main home's elegance.

This cottage also accesses the patio that wraps around this 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom estate. All told, this estate and its attractive guest house explains why Links Magazine recently stated that, "Only one thing is more beautiful than visiting Martis Camp, and that is living there."
