THE EXPERIENCE
Mornings begin with coffee as light moves across the surrounding peaks — views guests consistently call “pure magic” and say “photos simply don’t do justice.” Days are spent skiing at Breckenridge, hiking Colorado’s high trails, or exploring nearby mountain towns. Evenings return you to stillness — soaking in the Bullfrog X8 on the covered patio, unwinding in the wood-fired sauna, or gathered around the firepit.
At this elevation, the environment becomes part of the experience. Quiet. Expansive. Immersive.
THE SPACE
This 3BR, 3,500 sq ft home has been thoughtfully designed with curated furnishings and a modern mountain aesthetic. When you first walk in, the space is — in the words of one guest — “almost too grand to explain.” It lives up to every photo and then some.
A wrap-around deck with outdoor dining offers unforgettable east-facing mountain views and welcome afternoon shade, while the covered patio creates a comfortable space for relaxing or watching the snow fall. Evenings are best spent in the Bullfrog X8 — one of the finest residential hot tubs available, seating up to 8 guests, sheltered on a private covered patio — or unwinding in the wood-fired sauna, or gathered around the firepit under open skies.
Inside, the home offers multiple spaces to unwind — from the main living area with gas fireplace and 75″ 4K TV to a downstairs rec room with games, a great setup for streaming movies or sports, and everything you need for a relaxed evening in.

BEDROOMS
Primary Suite - The anchor of the home — a true retreat within a retreat. The king bed is dressed in premium linens with multiple pillow options, and the gas fireplace creates a warm, intimate atmosphere whether you’re winding down after a ski day or sleeping in on a slow morning. The ensuite bathroom is spa-caliber: a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. A dedicated workspace makes it equally suited for guests who need to stay connected. Sweeping mountain views greet you from bed.
Guest Bedroom - Bright, calm, and quietly luxurious. The king bed is made up with high-quality linens and multiple pillow options, and the room is framed by the natural privacy of surrounding lodgepole pines — creating a tucked-away feeling that’s genuinely restful. Thoughtful storage and a serene mountain aesthetic make this room feel like a proper guest suite, not an afterthought.
Bunk Room - The room that earns the most excitement on arrival — especially from kids. A twin-over-double bunk with a trundle sleeps up to four, making this the ideal space for younger guests or rounding out a group. High-quality bedding throughout, because everyone deserves a good night’s sleep at 11,300 feet.

LOCATION
Alma Alta sits at the summit of Quartzville Road, built into the eastern slope of Mt. Bross — just below the treeline, 30 minutes from Breckenridge, and worlds away from everything else.
Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Cameron rise to the north and west, with Mt. Democrat just beyond them, and Mt. Silverheels commands the view across the valley to the east. The Lincoln Peak Trailhead is a 6-minute walk from the driveway; the Kite Lake Trailhead, gateway to the full DeCaLiBron loop, is a 30-minute drive.
Nearby recreation includes world-class fly fishing at Montgomery Reservoir and the Middle Fork of the South Platte River, mountain biking and hiking near Wheeler Lake, and scenic drives over Hoosier Pass and the Continental Divide. Breckenridge — with its skiing, dining, and year-round mountain activities — is 30 minutes away.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Alma Alta sits at 11,300 feet — part of what makes it special, and something to plan for. Guests arriving from lower elevations may feel mild altitude effects on day one, and those coming from sea level may feel it more acutely. We recommend arriving a day before any strenuous activity, drinking plenty of water, and taking it easy on arrival — most guests settle in quickly.
From September through May, mountain driving conditions apply. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is a must — roads to the property are publicly maintained, but snow and ice are part of the high-alpine experience. If you're renting, solid choices include the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or any full-size SUV with AWD. For more on Colorado's Traction Law, visit the COTRIP website.
Once you've arrived, your vehicle stays out of the weather entirely — Alma Alta includes a heated garage, so there's no scraping ice or digging out before you head back down the mountain.
SECURITY CAMERAS
There is one exterior camera monitoring the driveway and entry area. No cameras are located inside the home or in any private outdoor spaces.

🌄
Alma Alta is built into the eastern slope of Mt. Bross, just below the treeline. Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Cameron rise to the north and west, with Mt. Democrat just beyond — together with Bross, these four peaks form the DeCaLiBron. To the east, the view opens across the valley to Mt. Silverheels, with the Continental Divide visible at Hoosier Pass. The Lincoln Peak Trailhead is a 6-minute walk from our driveway; the full DeCaLiBron loop starts at the Kite Lake Trailhead, a 30-minute drive. Nearby Montgomery Reservoir and the Middle Fork of the South Platte River offer world-class trout fishing, and Wheeler Lake trail is great for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road enthusiasts.
