This exceptional riverfront home rests on the serene banks of the Lower Blue River in the coveted Sage Creek Canyon. The private river access allows you to cast a dry fly to selectively feeding Rainbow and native Brown trout before breakfast or after dinner. This meticulously maintained waterfront residence is the perfect blend of mountain elegance and refined craftsmanship.
A multiple winner in the 2009 Parade of Homes, the 4,335 sq ft log home was built by longtime local home builder Brian Ray and was thoughtfully designed with a central log great room balanced by two wood-framed “wings” that harmoniously blend its open floor plan ethos with ample privacy for guests. Vaulted ceilings and a grand floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace define the breathtaking great room and lofted office/game area. Custom details include unique, site-specific carved mantles, a hand-carved front door, and a dramatic, hand-tooled bald eagle head high atop the entryway ridge beam that keeps watch over the property. Finishes include solid hardwood maple floors, Red Dragon granite countertops, custom alder cabinetry, Ipe (aka “Brazilian Walnut”) decking, and fine woodwork in every room—offering timeless rustic charm with elevated design. The flexible layout includes four bedrooms (septic sized for a three-bedroom home) and 4.5 bathrooms, including a main-level primary suite, a spacious recreation room, and a bonus lock-off bedroom perfect for guests or multi-generational living.
Beyond the walls, the professionally landscaped grounds feature mature perennial beds designed for three seasons of color, a private greenhouse, a fire pit, hot tub, and ample outdoor space to enjoy the natural surroundings. The home includes a heated three-car garage and a dedicated dog wash station. Riverfront is rare—don’t miss your opportunity.
