New! Moonlight Ridge-Shipping Container Home

Summary:
This stunning Container Home will not disappoint! With 1 bedroom and a queen size Murphy bed in the living room it sleeps up to 4 people. Features super comfy Tuft and Needle queen mattresses. The kitchen is outfitted in custom barnwood countertops. The rooftop deck is a great place to stargaze or enjoy a morning coffee. It boasts a full size, custom-tiled shower and spacious bathroom to complete this beautiful home. Located right outside of Alpine-2 minutes from downtown.

The Space:
This unique home started as a 40' shipping container. Our build company, CargoHome, insulates and panels the interior in pine shiplap and trim it out with fine craftsmanship. The outside is clad with cedar siding, spaced to allow the original container to still be seen. The fun rooftop deck is surrounded by a custom cable railing system. LED lights inside and a super-quiet, efficient mini-split AC unit makes this a comfortable, energy efficient space.

Guest Access:
The house and rooftop deck are all yours!
