The space
"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul" John Muir
With breathtaking views from every direction and every room, transport your mind, body and spirit to our secluded, yet ideally located, spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath sanctuary in wondrous Alabama Hills! The house rests among stunning views of the surrounding and infamous Alabama Hills, Eastern Sierras, Mount Whitney and Inyo Mountains.
Our home features well-appointed, comfortable interior spaces and outdoor areas for relaxing and playing on 5 acres of native desert landscape. Outdoor sitting areas around the house provide enchanting views of shifting light on the horizon of rugged mountain lands, and cozy spaces to watch sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and starry night skies.
Perhaps you'd like to prepare a big, leisurely breakfast with your friends and family in our bright, fully-stocked kitchen with stools, lots of counter space, and a high vaulted ceiling, or sip your drink on the deck while gazing at the sunsets over the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Just relax and bask in the quiet serenity. The living room, during the summer, features an inviting, wrap around couch, 55" flat screen tv, and bluetooth sound bar. In the winter, the living room moves into the room with the fireplace. Perhaps one of the most exciting features - our game area offers a great space to entertain with a ping pong table, board games and table to set up with snacks to fuel your fun and keep the competitions going.
The mid century designed master bedroom has a new queen bed with a very comfortable Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam mattress, and private bathroom with brand new tiled shower and double sink. It also features a work space and balcony with awe-inspiring views of the ever changing hues of the Inyo Mountains. It is well worth waking up early to catch the sunrise over the Inyo Mountains or even the sunsets coloring the sky.
The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds. Both of these rooms share a full bathroom with tub/shower and two sinks.
The second and third bedroom also share a large deck furnished with seating to enjoy the amazing views of the Eastern Sierra mountains or star gaze at night.
The fourth bedroom is downstairs, furnished with a comfortable memory foam queen mattress and detached bathroom with shower. Ideal for the family member that can't do stairs. Once inside the house, it is all one level with easy wheelchair access.
There is also a loft space with a lounge chair to cozy up in solitude with a nice book, listen to music with an old CD collection or just to enjoy the view.
Enjoy the stunning view of Lone Pine Peak and Mount Whitney from our front deck that comes installed with a refreshing mist sprayer extending all the way around the deck to cool you off after a day in the sun! Also enjoy the fire pit in the evening.
The back deck has a bbq, picnic table for dining and Adirondack chairs surrounding a second fire pit. This deck has views of the Inyo Mountains and the large boulder formations of the Alabama hills located on our property!
