There's a reason they call it Home Run: this Big Springs Northstar retreat lets you clip into your skis right in the backyard and glide down Home Run Trail straight to Highlands Gondola, snow conditions permitting, of course. Come lunchtime or day's end, skip the parking lots, the shuttle lines, and the boot-carrying entirely, and ski right back to your own front door instead. It's the kind of convenience that changes the whole rhythm of a ski trip, giving you more time on the mountain and less time getting to and from it. When you're ready for a change of scenery, it's just a short walk to the shops, restaurants, and ice rink at Northstar Village, or hop the gondola for a quick trip over to the Ritz-Carlton for a drink with a view.
Step inside and the home opens up into a huge, light-filled great room with a truly open floor plan, the kind of space that makes everyone want to gather in one place. Walls of windows pull in tons of natural sunshine and frame gorgeous, sweeping mountain views that change with the light throughout the day. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the room for quiet evenings, while a game table off to the side keeps things lively, whether it's a family tournament or a low-key game night after a big day outside. The whole space feels equally suited to relaxing with a book in the sun or hosting a house full of family and friends.
The large kitchen is every bit as impressive, designed with big groups in mind. Barstool counter seating for 5 makes it easy for guests to pull up a seat and chat while someone cooks, and a separate dining table seating 8 means the whole crew can sit down together for meals without anyone feeling squeezed in. It's a kitchen built for shared mornings before hitting the slopes and long, easy dinners once the day winds down.
With 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and 3,594 square feet of thoughtfully laid-out living space, this home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it an ideal fit for extended family trips, multi-family getaways, or groups of friends who want plenty of room to spread out while still sharing great communal spaces. The layout of the home itself is thoughtfully designed for multi-generational travel, striking a rare balance between togetherness and privacy. The primary suite sits on one end of the home, complete with its own attached office featuring a Murphy bed, a flexible setup that's perfect for young kids who want to be close to their parents at night, while still giving the grown-ups a true private retreat. Down at the opposite end of the house, the kids take over their own wing entirely, anchored by a fun bunk room suite with its own private balcony and TV, giving the younger crowd a fun, independent space that feels just for them. In between the two ends of the home, a dedicated transition room makes gearing up effortless, stash skis, boots, and gear here before heading straight out the back door to the run, no tracking snow through the house required.
After a full day on the mountain, there's nothing quite like sinking into the small circular hot tub tucked into the backyard, steam rising against the mountain air as the sun starts to set. Or gather everyone back in the great room for a movie night by the fire, game table still out from earlier, everyone still buzzing from a good day outside. Beyond the home itself, guests also enjoy access to the NPOA Recreation Center, which offers pools, hot tubs, a sauna, tennis courts, and more, just a short trip away for those who want even more to do between ski days. A two-car garage adds everyday convenience, and the home's peaceful cul-de-sac setting means quiet, low-traffic surroundings without sacrificing easy access to everything Northstar has to offer.
From the ski-in/ski-out access to the sun-drenched great room, the thoughtful family layout, and the little touches like the game table, bunk room balcony, and backyard hot tub, Home Run at Northstar is designed to make every part of a mountain stay feel easy, comfortable, and genuinely fun — for kids and adults alike.
