Your private mountaintop sunset awaits! At Alta Vista, your “spirits will be lifted” in this gorgeous 3,863 sf spacious custom home, perfect for large family or friend gatherings, and work retreats. Just 6 minutes from Historic Murphys Gold Rush era town, and 8 minutes from Arnold, above the fog and just below the snow line. Conveniently located in the middle of everything the area has to offer. Just 35 miles to Bear Valley Ski Resort, 8 miles to White Pines Lake, and 6 miles toCalaveras Big Trees State Park, the list goes on and on. Sitting within 3 acres, the grand main floor entrance opens to vaulted ceilings and loads of natural light from the glass encircled living room, full of vista views and giant pine trees.

Included on the main floor is a chefs kitchen delight, complete with vista views, blue labradorite counters, a giant center island with second sink, warming drawer, and everything you need to create a culinary feast. Wine glasses and beer mugs await! The kitchen is so large, everyone can hang out there, sit in the extra stools at the bar, or go out onto the patio – no one will feel left out. Massive cabinets allow you to unpack all your special goodies from the local markets. The dining table seats 10. The second table seats 5 and converts to a poker table, or bumper pool. The TV nearby allows the game, movie, or music to be played while eating or playing.

Still on the first floor, your spacious master suite with vaulted ceilings includes a private balcony, fireplace, giant two-person jacuzzi tub, and a private SAUNA to unwind and relax.

There are 2 guest rooms with queen beds that share a giant bathroom with shower, jacuzzi tub, and double sinks. There’s also an extra half bath and large closet for all your extra gear.

The patio that wraps around the entire upper floor features majestic Alta Vista views, a fire table, gas bbq, and picnic table. Lounge and enjoy gorgeous sunsets and distant nighttime city lights, or BBQ and have a meal on the deck. Lounge at the fire table with a good bottle of wine with family, friends or co-workers.

The entry has a flight of stairs down to the lower level that includes a separate game room with pool table, foosball, casino style slot machine, and game table. Surrounded by a deck with views and loaded with games, music and more, no one will want to leave the fun.

Downstairs you will also find a full bath, and full bed with twin bunk above and trundle below. Sofa converts to a full bed for snuggling and watching movies from Dish TV, or as an extra place to sleep. The added electric fireplace adds a spot of heat or just the right mood as you settle down for the night.

    Stay was good. The interior was clean. The deck/rail on the exterior did not look very safe.

    Our family had a wonderful experience at Alta Vista during our five-day Independence Day getaway. The spacious and well-appointed home easily accommodated all ten of us, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and have their own space. The kids loved hanging out in the downstairs area, while the adults appreciated having separate bedrooms.One of our favorite surprises was the stunning view from the back deck—each evening we were treated to breathtaking sunsets over the trees and mountains, which made for unforgettable moments and beautiful photos.Although we encountered some issues with the air conditioning due to the warm weather, the property management team was extremely responsive and did everything they could to help. Communication was clear and timely throughout our stay.We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Alta Vista and look forward to returning in the future!

    They call it a cabin. It's much larger and nicer. The house was perfect for our group and our reason for being in that neck of the woods. No complaints.

    We had an amazing time staying here while snowboarding at Bear Valley. So much room and many activities inside the house, and absolutely incredible views of the sunset and stars outside the house. It was the perfect week!

    The house was perfect for our girls trip. Large spacious common areas and the large bathrooms were a plus. Everything was clean and had tons of supplies for us in the kitchen and bathrooms. And The views were to die for! We had an issue with the AC on our last day, but given the heatwave, I understood. Management did their best to rectify the situation. They were great! Important note: Use Apple Maps, not Google maps to find the property. Google will take you down a long scary one lane road to a dead end!
