Tucked among towering pines on nearly an acre in Fairplay’s sought-after Valley of the Sun community, this authentic log-sided mountain retreat embodies everything buyers envision when dreaming of a Colorado mountain home. A sun-filled interior welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and the comfort of radiant in-floor heat, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in every season.

The open-concept layout is designed for gathering, with a spacious kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, bar seating, and seamless flow into the dramatic great room. Two bedrooms on the main level provide convenience and flexibility, while the private upper-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat above it all. An airy loft adds additional space for guests, a home office, or recreation.

Step outside to enjoy the tranquility of this rare dead-end road location, where very little traffic enhances the sense of peace and privacy while reducing the dust commonly found at many Fairplay properties. From the covered front porch or expansive outdoor living areas, take in the serenity of the surrounding forest, where quiet mountain mornings, abundant wildlife, and star-filled nights become part of daily life.

The unfinished walkout basement presents a rare opportunity to add significant living space and value over time. Offered fully furnished, this home is ready to enjoy immediately as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or proven income-producing mountain rental. Unlike many nearby mountain destinations, this property is not subject to restrictive short-term rental permit limitations.

Ideally located just minutes from endless outdoor recreation and downtown Fairplay, 35 minutes from Breckenridge’s world-class skiing, and 45 minutes from the renowned Dream Stream section of the South Platte River. This home offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to Colorado’s most sought-after mountain destinations.
