Rare opportunity to own a beautiful custom home on 5 wooded acres backing on the San Isabel National Forest in the coveted Joe Love Ranch section of Chalk Creek Canyon! Custom-built 2003-2005 using insulated concrete forms, structural insulated panels, exterior stucco, propane plus solar in-floor heat, exposed real log ceiling trusses, a wood-burning fireplace, custom cabinetry and tile, all with a spectacular view of Mount Princeton from the open-plan kitchen, "mountain room", and loft. You'll enjoy comfort and energy efficiency. The home is conveniently located near the Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort, Love Meadow Watchable Wildlife Area, and the Agnes Vaille and Cascade falls, as well as multiple fishing lakes and major trailheads and back up to National Forest. Drive up the canyon to visit historic St. Elmo ghost town or out into the Arkansas river valley to spend the day rafting or shopping in Buena Vista or Salida. The nearest ski areas are Monarch (45 minutes) and Ski Cooper (1 hour 15 minutes). Excellent reception for satellite TV and high-speed Starlink internet service. Plenty of space to add attached garage or other structures.
