About This Home

Tucked into the trees at the end of a quiet road, this charming A-frame cabin sits on 1.68 acres. Just 30 minutes from Estes Park or Loveland. Year-round access, total privacy, and peaceful forest views, and a seasonal stream. It's the perfect mountain retreat. The main level features a cozy living room with cabin charm, an updated kitchen with modern touches, a tranquil bedroom, and a beautifully remodeled bath. Upstairs, a loft and second bedroom offer flexible space for guests, or your favorite hobby. Updates include Coretec flooring with moisture-barrier padding, and beautiful slate entries. The natural stone hearth was sourced from the property and professionally polished, Beetle kill pine accents add rustic warmth throughout. It has a new high efficiency Quadra-Fire wood burning stove, and a new water heater. Electricity is supplied by PVREA with supplemental solar that could be expanded. The decks feel like an extension of the house, great for birdwatching and romantic dinners while listening to your stream. A 120 sq ft workshop/shed adds storage, and plenty of room for your projects. A private 1/2-mile trail leads to a secluded lake, and seasonal cascades. National Forest is just under a 1/2 mile away. If you enjoy peace, this is your place. Home now features newly added forced-air heating for comfort and efficiency!
