Turnkey A-Frame Retreat Near Breckenridge with Wildlife, Waterfall, and Big Views!
Hi there. I’m not just a mountain home—I’m a cozy A-frame full of charm, character, and views that will stop you in your tracks.
Located on a quiet dead-end road in the sought-after Placer Valley neighborhood of Alma, I’m just 11 miles from Breckenridge. I offer better views, more privacy, and none of the Summit County price tag or taxes. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape or a full-time home base, I’m ready to welcome you.
My current owners have taken excellent care of me. I’ve been updated with a newer roof, new flooring, a brand-new furnace, natural gas service (no propane), and brand-new kitchen cabinets. The washer, dryer, and stove are nearly new—and yes, the sellers are sad to leave them behind. I don’t have a dishwasher yet, but there’s a 24-inch cabinet beside the sink ready for one. For full-price offers, the sellers are open to installing it—and might include the snowplow too.
Inside, you’ll feel the calm right away. Every window frames views of Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Bross, North Star Mountain, and Montgomery Reservoir. Wildlife is abundant—moose, deer, foxes, and birds regularly pass through—and there’s even a waterfall up the road at the reservoir. You’re minutes from Bristlecone Trailhead, Wheeler Lake, and other adventures.
Below the home is a 112-square-foot bonus room used as a cozy library and gear room, plus 186 square feet of unfinished space for storage and utilities. You’ll also find a 130-square-foot workshop and a shed for even more storage. My well produces clean, great-tasting water.
With Starlink internet, I’m remote-work ready. The $40/year voluntary HOA hosts occasional neighborhood events. My owners are off to a new adventure—maybe it’s time to start yours here.!
