On the back deck by the firepit, two couples gaze off to a flush of spring green on the 2nd fairway of the Tom Fazio golf course. Meantime, a younger generation in the hot tub has eyes fixed on slopes still heavy with snow. This 4,782 square-foot Martis Camp estate, oriented to consume broad views of the 2nd fairway beyond and a centerfold of Lookout Mountain in the distance, is a home fit for dreamers. It’s where big screen tv’s and technology play second fiddle to the handiwork of mother nature and human nature. Both Lookout Mountain and the second hole run parallel to the stunning deck with hot tub, fire pit, covered dining area, and barbecue bay. Those same views are on exhibit beyond all 5 bedrooms. Competing for attention is an impeccable home that centers around a great room with big beams, soaring fireplace, and glass wall doors that pocket away, leaving nothing but awe between you and the back deck. To its right is a kitchen with large workspace and a counter where breakfast goers can double as golf broadcasters. In the corner is a cozy nook for coffee and conversation or Pinot and pinochle. And at the base of the stairs, a quaint walkway leads to an impressive wine cellar. One wing of this 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home holds an office and a large primary suite with fireplace, private patio, and a deep tub with even deeper views. The other wing features a bedroom and a junior suite with fireplace. Both access the backyard deck. Upstairs arrives at a spacious media room with its own deck, a bedroom (or office), and a guest suite with deck and – yep, you guessed it – amazing views.
Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is private and has nothing but a few filtered pines that come between it and the second hole of Martis Camp’s highly acclaimed Tom Fazio golf course. Appliances are top notch, as are floors, cabinetry and counters. From one point to the next – from bedroom and bathtub to the great room and veranda – getting lost here is easily accomplished. Simply find your way to the nearest window and let your mind wander.
