Martis Camp Home Tour

The other morning I had the pleasure of touring some amazing new homes in the Martis Camp subdivision with luxury Realtor extraordinaire Kim Hoopingarner.  Kim put together a fantastic tour of Lake Tahoe’s most desirable gated golf course community and provided me with the latest updates about the evolution of Martis Camp.

18th Hole From the Camp Lodge

2011 was a huge year for Martis Camp as the subdivision boasted 83 lot sales, 11 cabin sales, and 5 custom home sales for a total volume of $90.2M thus making Martis Camp the most successful subdivision in the US and the clear choice for families looking for the quintessential Tahoe retreat.  In addition to sales volume, the crown of success in 2011 was the completion of the Camp Lodge.  The Camp Lodge at Martis Camp is a 50,000 sqft Clubhouse that is perched on a rock outcropping overlooking the 18th hole of the famed Tom Fazio golf course and is home to the Day Spa, Fitness Studio, Pools, world class Dining and is sure to be the center of fun and entertainment for owners in the private Martis Camp subdivision.  With the completion of the Camp Lodge the developers have now spent in excess of $90M on the amenities of Martis Camp thus showing their commitment to creating an extraordinary family experience in the Tahoe region.

Currently Martis Camp has 46 completed homes, there are 81 lodges under construction, and there are 60 luxury homes in the design/review process showing the tenacity of this family orientated neighborhood.  2012 is going to be highlighted by the completion of the 8,000 sqft Ski Lodge at the base of the Martis Camp Express lift which will provide owners with ski lockers, exquisite dining options, and a top notch bar thus creating a fabulous place for families to gather and enjoy a day on the slopes.  In addition to the Ski Lodge the Tennis Park will be completed this year featuring 2 world class clay courts and 2 hard surface courts providing tennis enthusiasts with a venue to show their grit.

While touring Martis Camp, 2 new homes impressed me thoroughly due to their location/setting, quality,  architecture, and whimsical design that encompasses the spirit of what Martis Camp stands for.

Throughout the flowing floorplan the builder utilized top-notch materials in order to create this Zen like masterpiece.  The exterior is adorned with natural stone, cedar, and heavy timbers which soften and symbiotically blend the contemporary design with the outdoors.  The interior of the residence is embellished with Walnut flooring, trim, doors, and cabinetry and extensive use of natural stone tile and glass tile were utilized to soften the bathrooms while retaining the contemporary mountain feel of the home.  Every room features custom light fixtures that accent the design of the home while creating conversation pieces at the same time.  In addition to the natural beauty of the home, this property features a smart home automation system that allows the owners and guest to control heating, lighting, audio, and window shades through iPad interfaces located in most rooms.
