Metro Denver Luxury Homes For Sale
Looking for a true Colorado log home, not log siding or a log-style house? This authentic hand-hewn log cabin in Bailey offers craftsmanship that is increasingly rare.
Built with full-dimension, hand-scribed structural logs, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,934 sq ft home represents traditional log construction that requires specialized labor, longer build timelines, & a level of material quality and labor that sets it apart from conventional mountain homes. Constructing a true hand-hewn log home today commonly exceeds $500–$650+ per square foot, before land, utilities, or site work, making this property difficult to replicate at this price point.
Set on 2.25 wooded acres with no HOA and year-round access, the setting offers privacy & a peaceful mountain feel just under an hour from Denver. Inside, exposed log beams, warm wood floors, custom cabinetry, handcrafted doors, & a stone fireplace w/ wood-burning stove create a timeless interior. Multiple decks extend living space outdoors, & a newer hot tub offers a private place to relax. Recent updates include a new furnace with Nest thermostat, new water heater & pressure tank, updated bathrooms, new decks on the main cabin and finished outbuilding, asphalt driveway, & upgraded lighting. A finished outbuilding with electricity provides flexible space for a studio, office, or retreat.
The property has a documented history as a part-time, seasonal Airbnb, earning Superhost status with 117 five-star reviews. Its prior use reflects a lifestyle-driven approach, leaving clear potential for a future owner to enjoy it as a second home with supplemental income or elevate it into a full, year-round STR. An adjacent 2.25-acre lot is also available, offering the opportunity to own up to 4.5 acres total.
Located near Staunton State Park, Kenosha Pass, Guanella Pass, hiking, fishing, and multiple ski areas, this home offers authentic mountain living, lasting construction value, and flexibility for full-time or second-home use.
