About This Home

As of February 2025

This beautiful log-home property, nestled in a peaceful mountain community, is a haven of tranquility surrounded by nature's beauty. Frequent visits from elk and deer add to the enchanting atmosphere, while the breathtaking views of Long's Peak provide a stunning backdrop from the living area and bedroom. A wrap-around deck offers the perfect spot to relax and soak in the mountain air. The property is just five minutes from a stocked private lake, ideal for fishing, hiking, or rock climbing. The lake also serves as a water source for wildfire management. Inside, the living room features an oversized vaulted window that frames the picturesque landscape, creating a cozy retreat. The kitchen boasts modern updates, including a gas range and granite countertops, perfect for cooking and entertaining. The main-level primary bedroom includes an en-suite bath and direct access to the deck. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer privacy, while the additional full bathroom on the main level ensures convenience. Practical features include a well with a new pump, wiring, and pipe installed in summer 2023, a UV sterilizer for safe drinking water, and heated waterlines to prevent freezing in winter. Set on nearly two acres atop Storm Mountain, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines privacy and convenience, located just 16.1 miles from Estes Park. An expansive laundry room makes laundry days easy. With incredible mountain views, this property invites you to embrace the best of mountain living.
