Victory Lodge - The Crown Jewel of the Sierra Nevada
Victory Lodge is an architectural masterpiece set against the backdrop of the magnificent Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Directly overlooking Gull Lake, this exclusive private residence offers spectacular views of Carson Peak and the June Lake ski area. One of the largest log home structures ever built, the unique trophy property offers abundant space and privacy. Masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail are the hallmarks of Victory Lodge, an epically proportioned mountain estate built as a multigenerational legacy home.
Built With Class and Distinction
The massive log-and stone structure, which encompasses 16,500 square feet, blends rustic western frontier flavor with luxurious contemporary finishes and amenities. Victorian era antiques, fine furnishings and exquisitely wrought bronze and millwork throughout complement and enhance the rugged airy interiors.
A circular drive leads to the front portico, which is flanked by huge stone columns. Upon entering the residence, one is awed by the majestic dual staircase made of perfectly matched split logs. Just beyond the foyer is the expansive great room, where a towering wall of windows showcases breathtaking lake and mountain views. The world’s largest elk antler chandelier graces the great room from the thirty foot ceiling, and a hand-laid stone fireplace with copper finishes commands a central position. Another highlight is a thirty-eight foot beam with elaborate hand-carved detailing. A variety of seating areas invite both large scale entertaining and intimate conversation.
State-of-the Art Luxury Living
The large gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, elaborate custom cabinetry, and state-of-the-art appliances. Unique fixtures and hardware are lovely accents to the gracious styling. There is also a commercial grade butler’s kitchen for entertaining convenience. Ideal for memorable repasts, the adjacent formal dining room boasts etched glass lighting and a beautiful oval oak table that seats eighteen.
The eight expansive bedrooms, which are distributed on the upper and lower levels, are appointed with fireplaces and luxurious en suite baths. Beautiful furnishings provide comfort and luxury.
On one of the upper floors, a gentlemen’s game room awaits with a minibar and various custom crafted table games. The lower level features a private casino with a full service cherry wood bar, walnut flooring, a copper stamped ceiling, enormous stone fireplace and an antique piano.
