Private, character-filled home in Alpine with a rare two-parcel configuration totaling over 10 acres. The primary residence sits on 2.37 acres, with an additional 8.53-acre parcel directly behind—offering privacy and long-term flexibility. This 1,191 sq ft home (2 bedrooms + office/study) features high ceilings, large windows, and custom cabinetry. The layout includes an open kitchen to family room, loft-style second bedroom, and dedicated office. The primary suite offers peaceful views, sliding glass door to the porch, a walk-in closet, and a shower stall plus soaking tub. Outdoor living includes a wraparound porch and paver patio set among mature pines. A seasonal creek runs behind the home, attracting wildlife and adding to the setting. The property also reflects its history, with Native American manos and metates discovered on site, along with stone walls and remnants of early farm use. Infrastructure includes a private well, two 5000-gallon holding tanks (one designated for fire department use), fire hydrant, and whole-house generator. A shed with electricity provides space for tools, workspace, or storage. Recent improvements include new roof (2025), furnace (2026), and septic system replacement (2018). The additional 8.53-acre parcel enhances privacy and potential utility. Neighboring properties have developed similar land configurations; buyers are advised to verify any future use.
