Welcome to “Mountain Magic,” a hilltop retreat tucked inside the gated community of Alpine Lake Resort where life slows down and every sunset feels like it was meant just for you. Perched to capture sweeping westward views of the distant mountain range, this home delivers breathtaking golden-hour skies and seasonal glimpses of the lake in winter, all from a private, peaceful setting that feels worlds away from the everyday. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this home has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly cared for. Recent improvements include beautifully renovated bathrooms, refinished ash hardwood floors, a new roof and siding, freshly stained decks, and updated appliances and lighting, creating a space that feels both refined and effortlessly comfortable. Offered furnished, “Mountain Magic” makes it easy to step right into ownership and start enjoying your mountain escape from day one. Inside, the heart of the home is a stunning great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling natural stone wood-burning fireplace, where soaring space and warm textures invite connection and relaxation. The open-concept design flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen, making it ideal for hosting gatherings, holidays, or spontaneous weekends with friends. Each bedroom offers generous proportions and king-sized accommodations, while the 2.5 bathrooms provide comfort and convenience for guests. Multiple outdoor living areas create the perfect setting for everything from quiet morning coffee to lively evenings under the stars. Beyond the home, ownership here means becoming part of something truly special. This is more than a property—it’s a lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and genuine community. Spend your days kayaking or fishing on the 150-acre stocked lake, relaxing on the sandy beach, or exploring miles of scenic hiking trails. Enjoy golf, pickleball, tennis, fitness facilities, and an indoor heated pool, or gather with neighbors at the clubhouse restaurant and bar. Wildlife is part of the everyday magic, with bald eagles, tundra swans, deer, and even the occasional black bear adding to the sense of wonder that defines this mountain setting. Whether you’re working remotely with high-speed fiber internet, escaping for weekends, or considering short-term rental income to offset expenses, this home offers flexibility and ease. Located within a comfortable drive of Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Northern Virginia—and just 30 minutes from Deep Creek Lake and Wisp—this is the kind of place people feel lucky to discover. “Mountain Magic” isn’t just a name—it’s the feeling you get when you realize you’ve found something rare, something private, something quietly extraordinary. The kind of place people wish they had known about sooner. Now you do.
