Alta means high.
The evening at Casa Alta starts on the patio. Covered in timber frame, facing the fairway, a gas fire-pit table in the middle and a row of Adirondack chairs pointed at the ponderosas. The sun goes down over the golf course, the pines go dark, and nobody suggests going inside for a while.
The house itself is young — built in 2019, about 3,500 square feet — and it was built to look out. Walls of glass wrap the vaulted great room so the fairway and the pines are in the room with you. The chef's kitchen holds a Wolf range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and two quartz islands — one for the cook, one for everyone who claims to be helping. Two suites sit on the main level: the primary, and a junior primary with its own wet bar. Three more bedrooms wait upstairs, and there are two laundry rooms, because a house for ten should have two.
All of it sits inside the gated Flagstaff Ranch Golf Club community — the same quiet fairways and pine shade our Breakthrough Lodge guests already know. Bring the dogs; two are welcome. Alta, the way the word should feel.
