About This Home

Now offered at a newly reduced price, this exceptional log home delivers over 4,000 square feet of flexible living space on 1.64 level acres just 15 minutes from Salida. With no HOA, no covenants, and a layout rarely found in today's market, this property offers outstanding value for buyers seeking space, versatility, and Colorado mountain character. The main level features a spacious primary suite, a second bedroom, and an attached private living area that functions like an in law suite. Complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and separate entrance, while connected through a shared laundry area, this space is ideal for extended family, guests, or flexible living arrangements. Classic log construction, exposed beams, and soaring tongue and groove ceilings create the warm mountain atmosphere buyers expect, while large windows fill the home with natural light and showcase surrounding views. The updated kitchen features light cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and a center island that opens to the dining and living areas. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms share a full bathroom. One opens onto a rooftop deck with expansive mountain views and provides access to a separate studio apartment, offering flexibility for guests, a home office, creative studio, or potential rental opportunities. Additional highlights include multiple living areas, a wood burning fireplace, sauna, and a blend of wood, tile, and carpet flooring that complements the home's rustic character. Outside, the level 1.64 acre parcel offers mature trees, partial fencing, usable space, and room to build a garage, workshop, or additional outbuildings. Private well and septic are already in place. Whether you're searching for multigenerational living, a home with guest accommodations, income potential, or simply room to enjoy Colorado living, this thoughtfully designed property offers exceptional flexibility and value at its newly reduced price.
