Welcome to Hemlock Hearth, a classic Alpine Lake retreat where soaring architecture, natural materials, and an exceptional location come together to create something truly special. Tucked along Hemlock Circle and bordering community green space in the rear, this inviting mountain home offers an added sense of privacy while remaining just a quick stroll from the lake, beach, and boathouse. Inside, the open-concept living space immediately draws your eye upward. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling natural stone hearth anchors the home, with a wood-burning stove ready for cool mountain mornings and cozy evenings by the fire. Warm wood floors, exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, fresh interior paint, new light fixtures, and new sliding glass doors create a space that feels both refreshed and authentically at home in the mountains. The thoughtful layout makes easy first-floor living possible, with two bedrooms and two full baths located on the main level. Above, a spacious loft provides valuable flex space and is currently used as a third bedroom—ideal for additional guests, a den, home office, game space, or quiet retreat. Outside, the home has been freshly stained, while the green space along the rear creates a peaceful wooded backdrop and an extra measure of privacy. With an acceptable offer, Hemlock Hearth is also being offered furnished, creating an opportunity to arrive, unpack, and start enjoying mountain life without taking on a list of projects. And the location is hard to beat. The lake, sandy beach, and boathouse are just moments away, while ownership inside the gates of Alpine Lake Resort brings access to a 150-acre lake, 18-hole golf course, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, dog park, playground, hiking trails, lodge and restaurant, beach, boathouse, and additional recreational amenities—all complemented by 24/7 gated security. Hemlock Hearth is the kind of mountain home buyers hope they'll discover at Alpine Lake: distinctive without being fussy, wonderfully located, easy to enjoy, and filled with the warmth and character that simply can't be manufactured. Meet the cabin ready to become your backdrop for the time away that matters most.
