Listed at $22 million with a golf membership available, the modern five-bedroom, eight-bathroom residence sits on a cul-de-sac in the private, gated community of Martis Camp near Truckee, California.
The property, at 9519 Wawona Court, was completed in 2019 with about 7,800 square feet of heated living space and later underwent a major remodel in 2025 that added roughly 2,400 square feet, bringing the total to about 9,000 square feet, according to Martis Camp marketing materials.
Trent Tucker, a former professional tennis player and founder of Tulsa, Oklahoma-based Tucker Tennis Academy, is the owner, through Look Out LLC, according to public property information. Tucker did not respond to requests for comment.
While the home’s interiors and square footage have been updated in recent years, the original reason for building in Martis Camp was rooted in a first visit to the Lake Tahoe area. Tucker built the vacation home after visiting and being taken by the area’s natural beauty and year-round appeal, even though he and his then-fiancée were new to skiing, according to a 2020 New York Times article.
“I was like, ‘Man, that’s so far away, and I don’t even know Lake Tahoe,’” Tucker told the newspaper.
But he knew what he wanted. The home’s design by architect Greg Faulkner has drawn attention beyond the Tahoe region. It has been highlighted by major news outlets and multiple design publications.
The New York Times described the project as a ski-in-and-out concept built for a tennis professional and his family, pairing modern architecture with direct access to the slopes. A later international design feature similarly emphasized the site’s rugged setting and the house’s material choices. Those write-ups have helped cement Lookout House’s reputation.
The residence occupies one of Martis Camp’s most dramatic home sites, set into a steep hillside near the backside of Northstar California Resort, with a ski run nearby and long sight lines over Martis Valley.
The structure leans heavily on concrete, steel and glass, but it’s warmed by wood, basalt and marble finishes and by the way the house frames the surrounding terrain.
From the street, the house announces itself with an entry sequence inspired by the geology underfoot. The design tucks into the base of a 3-million-year-old volcanic landscape, and the front approach includes red-orange glass meant to evoke cooling magma.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass is used less as a showpiece than as a constant reminder that you are in a high-alpine neighborhood.
Martis Camp, spread across 2,177 acres, has become a kind of shorthand for North Tahoe luxury, with private ski privileges at Northstar, a members-only ski lodge, and an 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course that helps keep the community busy when it’s not snow season.
Lookout House’s appeal is built on that four-season pitch — but also on the idea that the home is as much an experience as a shelter. The house is organized across three levels, connected by an elevator and a series of glass-walled rooms that pivot between mountain views on one side and outdoor living spaces on the other.
On the main living level, wide sliding glass doors open to patios and terraces that stack outdoor seating areas. There are water features and fire elements outside — including a covered and heated dining area centered on a long table with a fire feature running down its length.
Inside, rooms are sized for hosting. For entertainment, the amenities list reads like a boutique resort: two movie theaters, a golf simulator, a custom music listening room, two wine rooms, and a tequila bar finished in Italian marble.
The family side is just as deliberate. There’s an elaborate children’s playroom with a heated padded floor and built-ins for storage, along with kid-forward features like monkey bars, a climbing wall and a swing. There are nine fireplaces throughout the home, and the property is designed for heavy snow seasons with a heated driveway and heated roof, according to marketing materials.
The remodel emphasized spa-style amenities — including a Finnish sauna, steam room, a fitness center, and hot and cold plunge pools inspired by Therme Vals, the Swiss spa known for its spare, stone-forward minimalism. In the wellness rooms, concrete surfaces are treated almost like sculpture, with angled planes designed to shape daylight.
“You hear this a lot in real estate, but Lookout House is truly one of one — not only within Martis Camp, but across the broader Lake Tahoe market,” Jeff Hull, a Martis Camp Realty sales executive, said. “The Greg Faulkner vision and architecture, private ridgeline setting, panoramic views and exceptional craftsmanship are incredibly rare, while the wellness and entertainment spaces create a true resort-level experience.
“What I believe makes the home especially unique is that it is as warm and functional for family living as it is impressive for entertaining,” he said. “Given the quality, complexity and time it would take to recreate something comparable in Tahoe today, this is an irreplaceable legacy property.”
The listing is being handled by Martis Camp Realty.
Tucker purchased the inclined 1.4-acre lot for about $1 million in 2014, according to public property records.
