Alta, Utah — If you asked a skier if they choose anywhere in the world that they would like to have a home, I imagine the top answer would be in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Being able to access the powder without the panic that typically occurs for those that need to drive up sounds like a dream. Well, if you want to grab a home in Little Cottonwood that’s not at an insane price point, here’s your chance.
Priced at $5.5 million, 8593 E Albion Basin Road is in the heart of the action. Built back in 1993, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom building is located above the town of Alta. The 3076 square foot building has a communal room with fireplace, a modern kitchen, a private master suite, children’s bedrooms with bright colors, washer/dryer room, and a ski storage closet. It doesn’t have the most luxurious ski home amenities, like a hot tub, sauna, or a “gondola” that connects you to the mountain, but you’re right in the heart of one of skiing’s meccas. In addition, Little Cottonwood Canyon is a great spot for snowshoeing, climbing, hiking, and biking.
The one drawback to this property is accessing it. During the winter, East Albion Basin Road is snow covered. While this means you can ski down, it also means you need to go back up to the house at the end of the day. You can reach it either by skis, hiking it, or using an over-snow-vehicle. In the summertime, the road is accessible for 2 wheel drive vehicles.
