Views, Views, and More Views! This enchanting furnished log cabin sits right on Chalk Creek, offering over 450 feet of creek frontage and jaw-dropping views of the iconic Chalk Cliffs to the north. Nestled on 2 private, wooded acres, this unique property borders both National Forest and Chalk Creek, providing unmatched access to nature, fishing, and hiking. Located just steps from the Raspberry Gulch Trail and access to Wrights Lake, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Colorado mountain retreat. The charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom log home features hardwood floors in the kitchen and foyer, wood laminate throughout the main living areas, and tiled bathrooms for easy maintenance. Upstairs, a spacious enclosed loft provides the second bedroom space with ample storage, perfect for guests or a home office. Listen to the soothing sounds of Chalk Creek from your window, or step out onto your deck to take in the serene surroundings. The detached 2-car garage offers an additional workshop space and tool room for all your mountain projects. Two unique sheds are included-one is a whimsical wood slice potting shed, ideal for gardening, an artist studio, or a magical playhouse. The second is a modern utility shed for extra storage. A charming greenhouse with a potting bench is attached to the garage, perfect for the avid gardener. Located just 5 minutes from Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, on the street affectionately known as Bunny Lane, this property is a dream for those seeking peace, privacy, and endless mountain views. Don't miss your chance to own a creekside mountain escape along Chalk Creek! The information contained herein should be verified after Buyer contracts to buy the property.
