To comfortably live here year-round, you will need either a four-wheel drive vehicle or have access to a snowplow. Despite the mountain weather, this community is beautiful, and the homes are as well. Here you will find farmhouse style homes from the early 1900s, rustic log cabins, newer expansive estates and most of the properties here have acreage and outbuildings such as barns, detached garages or additional dwelling units. Alta is home to the highly desirable Moody Ridge area which is sought after by locals.
