It seems like everyone wants a piece of Lake Tahoe’s property pie. The US’ love affair with its largest alpine lake is hardly news; approximates suggest 65–70% of all homes sold in the Lake Tahoe regions are second homes, quite a jump when you consider second homes only count for up to 7% of the total US housing stock.
Straddling the California-Nevada border and offering the peace of the alpines while remaining within reach of major metropolises and urban centers like San Francisco or Sacramento, Lake Tahoe’s popular property market is easy to understand. With winters on the ski slopes and Californian summers spent jumping in and out of the lake or teeing off on the area’s world-class golf courses, Lake Tahoe’s appeal as a year-round vacation destination has driven the desire to own a home in Lake Tahoe.
Despite this ever-increasing demand, there is certainly no shortage of luxury Lake Tahoe properties to pick from. The luxury community of Martis Camp offers an unparalleled combination of natural beauty and top-tier amenities, making it one of the most sought-after neighborhoods for those looking to invest in a second home in Lake Tahoe.

Set on 2,177 acres of land, Martis Camp offers four seasons of recreation and adventure, from private ski access to Northstar California Resort to the acclaimed 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course on your home’s doorstep.
And for Home 627 otherwise formally known as 7018 Villandry Circle, the newly listed home in Martis Camp, that statement is by no means an exaggeration. The 13th and 14th hole of the World Championship course is practically an extension of the property’s backyard, where views across the green are framed by the home’s double-height, floor-to-ceiling windows.

Designed by Ward-Young Architects and Crestwood Construction, with interiors from Julie Johnson Interior Design, the property takes direct inspiration from its mountainous yet luxurious surroundings; with the heavy use of natural materials, juxtaposed against striking glass and industrial paneling.
In addition to its five bedrooms and five full bathrooms, the home also touts a big-screen home theater, and at its heart is the huge glassed-in wine vault, with space to hold 1,200 bottles. A garage bay that’s been converted into a driving range simulator with gallery seating is the perfect place to practice your swing. Meanwhile, when the year draws to a close and the temperatures begin to drop, the home’s multiple, double fireplaces and a glass-walled sauna make for the perfect winter warmers.
