Glide right up to the door

If there is one thing that appeals to winter sports enthusiasts, it’s the idea of staying in a place where they can ski in and ski out.

Nobody needs to load up the SUV to head for a parking lot near the lift line. Nobody needs to carry snowboards or ski equipment any farther than the front door.

This newly built private lodge, in the Greyhawk community of Mammoth Lakes, has direct access to the ski resort.

At 8,500 feet, it has dramatic mountain, valley and lake views.

Features: The home’s large entrance hall with rock flooring is tough enough to weather scratches from boots and equipment, and its three-car attached garage plus three extra parking spaces provide room for friends to park while visiting.

A rock fireplace keeps the great room warm. There are three master-bedroom suites plus two additional bedrooms; two laundry rooms; and extra media and game rooms with a wet bar and beverage refrigeration. The gourmet kitchen has dual dishwashers and ovens plus a six-burner gas cooktop. The formal dining room has a cathedral ceiling.

Asking price: $4,585,000

Size: There are five bedrooms, 5 1/2 bathrooms, two family rooms, a home gym and an office in the 6,500-square-foot home.

Where: Mammoth Lakes
