This classic 1975 David Tucker-designed and Sven Brolund-built cabin offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Alpine Meadows’ charm. Overlooking the breathtaking valley and surrounding mountains, the cabin features wrap-around windows that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. At the heart of the living room, a striking granite fireplace evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The original owners thoughtfully acquired 80% of the adjacent lot to preserve the serene, mountainous setting, with a deed restriction in place to prevent future development. Situated on nearly three-quarters of an acre, this property presents a unique chance to restore a classic cabin in the sought-after Alpine Meadows ski resort community. Whether you’re seeking a weekend retreat or an investment opportunity, this fixer-upper holds excellent potential.
