About This Home

Creekside Mountain Retreat with Stunning Views and easy access in the charming town of Empire! Larger lot with 74 feet of river frontage. Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of the creek right outside your window or relaxing on your deck with the gentle rush of water as your soundtrack. This beautiful log home sits in sunny Empire, perfectly positioned for all that Colorado mountain living has to offer. Just 20 minutes to Loveland Ski Area, 30 minutes to Winter Park or Arapahoe Basin, and under an hour from five additional world-class ski resorts. Step right out your door to endless adventures: backcountry skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, fishing, and more. Conveniently located just 45 minutes to downtown Denver and 70 minutes to DIA. This inviting home features two primary suites and a walk-out basement with a separate entrance, making it ideal for hosting guests or multigenerational living. Enjoy the sunny, private upper deck overlooking the year-round flow of the West Fork of Clear Creek, while the lower deck sits directly above the water. A fully fenced backyard provides a safe space for your pets, and the heated oversized garage offers ample room for vehicles and your mountain toys.
