A handcrafted log retreat on nearly 5 private acres-surrounded by whispering spruce, sun-dappled aspens, and the kind of stillness that only mountain living can offer. Crafted from hand-hewn Colorado spruce and Douglas fir, this one-of-a-kind custom log home is both a work of art and an exceptional value. The setting is a dream: 4.93 flat, manicured acres framed by mature spruce, fir, aspen, and ponderosa trees-designed to feel like your own private lodge in the forest. Unwind in the saltwater hot tub beneath a canopy of stars, or sip coffee on the deck beneath an atrium-style glass roof. Inside, every detail is a story: massive log beams, vaulted ceilings, artful stained glass, and cozy wood stoves that invite you to linger longer. A 3-season porch with open-air windows and a swinging couch offers one of the most peaceful nooks you’ll ever find. The layout is flexible and full of charm-ideal for hosting guests, family, or retreat-style weekends. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry and large picture windows, flowing naturally into the main living areas and outdoor deck-perfect for entertaining in every season. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement offers a warm, social space with a pool table and a spa-style bath complete with sauna. (Don’t be surprised if your guests never want to leave.) A 4-bay garage includes a finished studio, workshop, and generous storage for mountain toys. The paved driveway has turnaround access and space for RV parking. Wildlife sightings are daily magic-elk, moose, fox, and more frequent the woods. Located just minutes from Eldora Ski Resort, Nederland, Rollinsville, and endless hiking trails-with easy access to Boulder and the Front Range via Coal Creek or Boulder Canyon. Even Black Hawk is a short drive away for live music, dinner, or a night out.No HOA-just a friendly rural road association that keeps things plowed and peaceful.
