Alpine 18

Alpine 18 – Your Cosy Alpine Escape

Warm when the southerly blows.

Picture a frosty morning in the high country. Boots by the door, the fire going, and a mountain view through the glass. Outside, the wind is picking up. Inside, it’s warm, dry and cosy.

Meet the Alpine 18 – a modern alpine cabin built for year-round comfort. At 18m², it’s an ideal couples’ retreat, hunting or ski base, or a distinctive accommodation option for your bush or high-country block.

With its bold 28° gable roof, rugged Ironsand steel cladding and warm timber interior, the Alpine 18 combines alpine character with the comfort and durability of a modern home. Super-insulated walls and roof, thermally broken joinery and a carefully designed interior keep the warmth in and the elements out.

Large sliding doors open the living area onto the deck, bringing the outdoors in and making the most of your surroundings. Inside, a practical kitchenette and private bathroom provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. Add an optional woodburner and loft bedroom, and you’ve got a cosy retreat to enjoy all year round.

Whether tucked into a sheltered bush clearing or overlooking a rugged mountain valley, the Alpine 18 is a place to get away from it all without leaving the comforts of home behind.
