Theres a commanding yet fulfilling view from behind the large kitchen counter of this peaceful 4,269 square-foot Martis Camp home. Before you is an impressive expanse of dining room, great room, and breakfast nook, all of which are cast in a glow that runs from sunup to sundown. But its something higher up that ideally frames this sense of place, a cathedral ceiling that adds both artistry and a climate of community to this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home. We placed tremendous emphasis on creating the quintessential gathering place for family, said Scott Gillespie, owner of Sandbox Studio and designer of this estate. That ceiling, with its light tones and dramatic angles, is kind of like the frosting on the cake, said Gillespie. It seems to somehow enhance the communal qualities that run throughout this home. Adding to this picture is an interior design scheme whose elegance and sophistication complement the homes harmony, comfort and warmth. Located on 1.1 acres, this mountain modern farmhouse backs up to trails and is close to Creekside Park with its playground, bocce court and barbecue pavilion, all of which are a dinner bell away from the massive decks with firepit, lounge area and barbecue bay. On the deck below, adjacent to the media room, is a patio with hot tub, forest views and a one-minute walk to the grassy Creekside Park. This Camp Lodge is a short hike down the trail from the backyard and its a short drive to the Martis Camp Lookout Ski Lodge, with direct ski access
