FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET! Surrounded by towering pines and aspens, this lovingly and well maintained mountain home offers an inviting retreat on nearly 2 acres in the Pine Ridge neighborhood, just minutes outside the mountain town of Alma. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home offers easy living with a comfortable layout designed equally well for gathering with friends and family or enjoying peaceful days at home. Inside, an open living and kitchen area with warm oak flooring and a wood burning stove creates an inviting gathering space. Large windows bring the surrounding landscape into view and make it easy to remember that nature is right outside your door. Two modern bathrooms add convenience, including a private bath off the primary bedroom and a second full bath easily accessible from the third bedroom and main living area. Peaceful mornings unfold on the front porch, while evenings are spent unwinding in the private hot tub on the back deck beneath star-filled skies. An oversized garage features a wood-burning stove and generously sized garage doors, with a secondary storage shed providing even more space for gear and belongings. A large fenced area surrounding the home provides added space for pets and further opportunities to enjoy the wooded setting. Recreation is close at hand, with hiking, biking, and fishing nearby, while world-class skiing at Breckenridge is just 20 miles to the north. The nearby mountain towns of Alma and Fairplay offer local restaurants, distilleries, shops, and everyday conveniences. Set in the lower portion of Valley of the Sun, Pine Ridge has no HOA & owners enjoy 1/33 ownership in the neighborhood out lot along Pennsylvania Creek. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or a place to escape into the mountains, this charming property offers a comfortable home base surrounded by Colorado's great outdoors.
