Some mountain homes make you choose between a great investment and a great retreat. This one refuses to make you pick. Offered turnkey furnished and sitting 2 acres with no HOA, 784 Alpine Drive is a rare find in the High Country — a true 6-bedroom, 6-bath mountain home with long-range mountain views, room for everyone, and options that most properties simply can't offer. The main level lives beautifully on its own. A level entry at both the front door and garage means single-level living is absolutely possible. Step inside to a cozy living area anchored by a brick fireplace, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a second more open living space beyond — all with walls of windows and access to a full-length back deck where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain views. The primary suite features its own view, a sizable walk-in closet, and ensuite bath with double sink vanity. The second main level bedroom also offers a walk-in closet and ensuite bath! An office off the foyer with a closet and fold-out sofa adds even more flexibility. A third full bathroom, and a laundry room which connects to the heated and cooled oversized 2-car garage finish out the main level. Then there's the lower level — and it will genuinely surprise you! This isn't a renovation — it's brand-new construction, built from the slab up in 2025 and nearly 2,500 square feet. It feels like a second home entirely because, in many ways, it is. A comfortable living area opens to a full kitchen and dining space. A second large family room with pool table and TV is a great gathering spot. Stroll through to the bunkroom with 8 beds — a rental dream. Three additional bedrooms and baths complete the level, accessible via interior stairway or a separate outside entrance. That separate access is the key to everything. Rent both levels together for maximum income, or keep one for yourself while the other generates revenue! Recent updates to the home include new hot water heaters in 2024 and 2025, a new roof in 2025, and a new heat pump for the lower level in 2025. Centrally located in Seven Devils, you're minutes from ziplining, tubing, hiking, and more!
