This beautifully updated river front cottage offers a perfect blend of modern luxury, natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion. Nestled along the crystal-clear Mid St. Vrain river (the cabin is not visible from Riverside Drive & sits out of flood plain according to the flood certificate depending on which zone mapping), it provides a private retreat surrounded by wildlife and scenic views. The cottage is conveniently located near some of Colorado's most sought-after destinations (It's a quick fifteen drive to Lyons & short trip to Boulder, Eldora ski resort, or Estes Park) and the short term rental history (memorialized by Boulder County- it's grandfathered as an STR and does NOT need a rental license) is strong. The recently renovated cottage (ask listing agent for details), combines contemporary style with the cozy warmth of natural wood. The cabin has a brand new high producing well, is fully insulated, has a Mitsubishi Mini split (providing A/C and heat), a new wood burning fireplace and new flooring. Perfect for year-round living or a seasonal escape, it's a place to enjoy Colorado in style. Must be sold with adjacent cabins-MLS #'s 1028813 & 1027173 or seller would entertain a Tenancy in Common scenario w/ a cash purchase.
