This mountain modern, lodge-likeย ski-in/ski-out getaway was custom designed by architect Lezley Barclay along withย Aspen Leaf Interiors, located in Lake Tahoe, California. The residence is comfortably nested in a custom homesite in the exclusive Martis 25 subdivision of Mountainside at Northstar. This spectacular luxury retreat is comprised ofย a sumptuousย 7,910 square feet of living space.

The home showcases six en-suite bedrooms plus an attached 800 square foot warming hut, which provides convenient direct access to the ski slopes with a semi-private ski lift. The warming hut is a self-contained space and the heart of the home. The hut was built to be 12 feet below grade, low enough to ski in and out the backdoor of the hut and right on to the ski slopes.

The home was designed to maximize views fromย Castle Peak and beyond to the Carsonย Range. Interior and exterior walls have been insulated for sound and heat. A hot-rolled steel fireplace adds to the ambiance of the great room, but what really steals the show is the panoramic views over the rugged mountainous landscape.

What We Love:ย This mountain modern retreat offers amazing views throughout the home over the Sierra Mountains from almostย every room. The modern furnishings and fixtures are infused withย warmth through the use of wood flooring and ceilings. Our favorite space is the warming hut, we love how it provides a cozy space for hanging out before and after the ski slopes.

Above: The warming hut features rust-toned stained radiant-heated concrete flooring that is very durable for ski boot traffic. A board-formed concrete, gas-fueled fireplace (this is two ofย seven in total throughout the home) provides a pleasant warmth and ambiance to the space. The dual-sided fireplace provides a cozy outdoor spot to hang out during the summer months.

The curved walnut countertop serves as both a bar area and as a kitchenette. The warming hut is connected to the main house via a hallway, which is the home’s only hallway. The architect does not like to waste space on hallways, with preference to open design.
