We built this spacious, one-of-a-kind 4-plus bedroom, 4.5 bathroom manor to be our mountain home—it is warm, inviting, comfortable, elegantly appointed yet informal. It is located in The Bluffs above Old Mammoth, the most exclusive area in Mammoth Lakes. Minutes away from the ski-slopes and the bustle of a ski-town, it offers you absolute privacy, stillness, and the serenity of living in the surrounding embrace of the High Sierra.
The home is built of Montana hand-peeled logs, Swedish cope, inside and out (There is almost no dry-wall). Interiors feature wide plank red fir floors, stone, Walnut doors and Rocky Mountain hardware fixtures. Every giant window affords breath-taking views of the surrounding mountains and Mammoth Rock. The stone terrace at the rear of the house merges into a back yard that becomes Forest Service land. Cross country ski and snowshoe into the forest right off the terrace and merge with the groomed trails at Twin Lakes. Enjoy sunrise and sunset on the mountain in the stillness of the wilderness (but just minutes from ski lifts, lodges, and downtown).
Double-story windows facing the mountains usher mountain light into the living room from dawn to sunset. Cozy couch and armchairs, wood-burning AND HEATING stone fireplace, sound system with Klipsch speakers
In the dining room, the cherry table built for the owner by a master Japanese craftsman seats fourteen.
The adjoining gourmet kitchen is large, light, richly equipped with everything you will need. The round table in the center of the room is perfect for snacks and informal meals en famille. Features six-burner Dacor stove with convection oven; Bosch jet-dry dishwasher; GE Monogram built-in refrigerator/freezer; custom cupboards and cabinets.
The Master Bedroom features a California King bed, inviting sofa, and gorgeous views of the mountains out the large windows. Walnut French door opens on the stone terrace at the rear of the house.
The Master Suite includes double walk-in closets and chests of drawers, and a large, elegantly appointed private bathroom: double sinks in tumbled marble counters and a gorgeous tumbled marble shower and steam sauna with double shower heads.
The three additional bedrooms and the loft are on the second floor. The first, a charming room all in blue, has a Queen bed, walk-in closet, private bath with shower and stone counters.
The second bedroom has a queen bed, a comfortable couch, and a writing table in front of a huge window with a panoramic view of Mammoth Rock, unobstructed privacy. The adjacent full bathroom has a shower and tub and stone counters. The third bedroom has a Queen bed.
The loft (overlooking the living room) is the perfect place to relax with a book (and perhaps a drink?) at the end of a day in the snow. Comfortable chairs and couches and, as everywhere, panoramic views out the double-story windows of the Sierra wilderness and Mammoth Rock.
Downstairs (stone floors), you will find: a mud-room area accessed through the garage, a laundry room equipped with Maytag Neptune washer and dryer and sink (plus utility cabinet), and a very cozy entertainment/game room with plenty of games: two couches and coffee table, desk, games. The adjacent bathroom has a tile shower and sink with tile counter.
This is a no-smoking home.
