About this property

Alta Vista "Lifting Spirits" - Luxury retreat with a view

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. Conveniently located in the middle of everything the area has to offer. Just 6 minutes from Historic Murphys "Gold Rush era town", and 8 minutes from Arnold, above the fog and just below the snow line. Just 35 miles to Bear Valley Ski Resort, 8 miles to White Pines Lake, and 6 miles to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, the list goes on and on. Proudly 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 top-notch markets. The indoor dining room 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 new fire table, new 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 from the sierras and catch-up 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.

Luxury Retreat Review
I stayed here with my family over Thanksgiving for a few days and it was a great experience. Beautiful views from the home, well equipped kitchen, lots of board games/entertainment (pool table/poker table etc) and enough space for a large family. Close to downtown Murphy. Highly recommend this home for a peaceful getaway!
