Beyond the fireplace, great room, dining room and back patio, snow cats prowl the wintertime nights on Lookout Mountain. There are no lights, no homes in sight between you and that looming mountain, just a sky full of stars and a meadow that nicely transitions from pristine snows to a palette of wildflowers. Having a good book and a handy pair of binoculars comes highly recommended. Those enticing south-facing views appear in the primary suite and upstairs bedrooms as well. A short stroll the other direction on this half-acre lot leads to the Lodge, Spa & Golf Club, perched on a rise to the north. That balance of connection and solitude make this iconic Lahontan home one of the Tahoe area’s most prized opportunities, explaining why this lodge style Lahontan home was singled out in Tahoe Quarterly’s Mountain Home Awards. The stunning kitchen with pantry, copper sinks, hooded stove and spacious dining counter enjoys that faraway view as well as sharing a three-way rock fireplace that also warms the great room and dining room. There’s a screened-in back dining porch, two offices connected by one window, and a main floor primary suite with workout area. Upstairs is a spacious guest suite and bunk room. A private bridge connects this 4,036-square-foot, 4-bed/4.5-bath main home to an attractive one-suite guest cabin with living room. The south side of this home, where you can step out and enjoy the patio with stone barbecue bay, firepit, and those full-frontal views of Lookout Mountain, gently slopes down toward the meadow as pathways from the Lahontan trail system wandering off to all points left, right, and beyond. The features of this home are as impressive as the views. There’s Hammerton lighting throughout, Texas honey mesquite flooring, hydronic heat, custom wood paneling and Johanssen stonework. There are two laundry areas, one on the main floor and another upstairs. The primary suite’s workout room can be customized to your wishes and in the upstairs bunkroom is a pair of twin-over-queen beds to accommodate a troop of kids.
