Introducing a rare gem for those ready to break ground without the usual planning hurdles—an incredible vacant lot already prepped for building. Located in beautiful Placer Valley, Alma, just 25 minutes from the prestigious Breckenridge Ski Resort, this project is meticulously designed by the renowned architecture firm from Boulder, Arch11. With fantastic views of two 14'ers—Mt. Bross and Mt. Lincoln—and southern exposure, this two-phase project fits seamlessly into the natural landscape. Phase One features a 2.5-car garage topped by a spacious 900+ sq ft ADU, including a cozy 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
