Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mark Houston
I am a world traveler, foodie, people lover and boating enthusiast. I am always on the move, making things happen. I enjoy bringing people, food, beverages and recreation together.
Why they chose this property
My Friend Emmy, now at her home in Eleuthera, with Captain Ron, suggested I acquire this property near her family home and friends, and I could lease the lower for long term and keep the top for her to have a place when she came back to Alpine.
What makes this property unique
This is a pretty amazing spot. as I was working to get this property ready I have seen many deer, a fox, chaparral's courting, the current tenants said a javelina came through. There is also an abundance of dove and songbirds. Nestled on the Mountains to the East and Kokernot Park to the North West, the University a short walk away. The views from the tiny porch and the front porch are stellar.
