The sanctuary retreat you've been looking for is now available! This extremely rare, one of a kind Rocky Mountain property is complete with a gorgeous, full 12" log home built by Legacy Log Homes. Perfectly situated on 22+ very private acres of lush meadow, aspen grove, and evergreens with a seasonal creek running through that creates natural irrigation for the meadow and ample opportunity to view the local wildlife. The main level of the home has vaulted beamed ceilings, wood floors, plentiful windows throughout, a gourmet kitchen with generous granite counters and breakfast bar, tile flooring, stainless appliances, custom lighting and so much more. The lower level opens to a patio where you can soak in the privacy of your hot tub, while enjoying views of meadow full of wildflowers, lined with aspen. In addition to the log home the property includes an A-frame that's been decommissioned and is used as a work shop, together with an additional out-building for storage. Only minutes away from the Wild Basin entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Roosevelt National Forest. You can experience all the outdoor activities the Rockies offer as well as festivals, shopping and dining in the surrounding areas that include downtown Lyons, Estes Park, Allenspark, Jamestown and more. This property is easily accessed by a well maintained private road.
