It’s 9 pm and there’s a buzz in the kitchen, a dozen friends and family are gathered around a large, artistically impressive kitchen island. It’s the perfect setting for recounting a day of adventures large and small. The energy of the moment is palpable and positive. That sense of warmth and home is upon you the moment you step into this 4,263 square foot Martis Camp estate. There’s the alluring glow from the floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace in the great room, a lively game of Monopoly at the breakfast nook and – making its nightly appearance in the soaring windows of the great room – a waxing moon slipping between pine boughs in the forest beyond the backyard porch. In short, it’s got all the hallmarks of an unforgettable family home.  Stage right of the great room and its impressive vaulted ceiling is a hallway leading to a room that serves nicely as a gym or office/den, and a primary suite with stone fireplace and forest views through large windows that leave you with a sense that you’re nesting high up in the pines. On the opposite end of this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home is an office and a junior suite, while upstairs are two bedrooms and a spacious media room with a deck that gazes off toward the forest. Not far away is the Golf Practice Range, the Camp Lodge and The Family Barn, just a few of those elements that led Forbes to proclaim that “At Martis Camp, you can have the home of your dreams in a community that perhaps even your wildest imagination hasn’t dreamed of yet.”
