Description

Welcome to your Colorado mountain escape above the North fork of the Big Thompson Canyon - a handcrafted log home on 3.12 acres with panoramic views, unmatched privacy, and year-round access between Loveland and Estes Park. Built in 2001, at 1,440 square feet, this home packs a punch-well-laid-out, comfortable, and ready for whatever you've got planned.", with vaulted ceilings, a free standing stove, and a wraparound deck designed to soak in every sunrise and starry night. Ideal for those seeking solitude, recreation, and the authentic feel of the Rockies. This is a Colorado treasure. The home features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, an open kitchen and living area, and thoughtful use of space throughout. Natural light pours in through large windows that frame the surrounding cliffs and forested hillsides. The home is served by a permitted domestic well and septic system, with forced air heat and propane stove for winter comfort.Outbuildings include a detached 320 sq ft studio with power (perfect for art, writing, or remote work), a 14x16 detached garage, a 20x23 large wood shop, and a permitted shipping container for secure storage. The 3.12-acre lot blends open, usable ground near the home with rugged timbered terrain, rock outcroppings, and natural privacy. Wildlife is abundant, and the setting supports hiking, exploring, and quiet time outdoors. Located just 25 minutes to Loveland, 20 minutes to Estes Park, and under an hour to Boulder and Fort Collins. Rocky Mountain National Park and the Roosevelt National Forest are within easy reach, and the North Fork of the Big Thompson River - known for its fly fishing - winds just below the property. This is mountain living with soul, simplicity, and a true sense of place.
