Tucked away on 1.44 private acres and backing directly to the breathtaking San Isabel National Forest, this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of rustic character, practical upgrades, and room to roam. Built in 1971 with 1,728 square feet of living space, this mountain retreat is filled with warm, welcoming spaces—including both a cozy parlor, living room, and a spacious family room, each featuring its own wood-burning stove or gas log stove for that quintessential Colorado comfort on chilly evenings. Recent updates include a brand-new septic system and evaporative cooling to keep you comfortable through the summer months. The kitchen and living areas offer room for both daily living and entertaining, while the layout allows flexibility for guests, hobbies, or remote work. But the magic truly lies in the land and extras. Step outside and discover an old-school root cellar (perfect for garden produce or wine storage), a charming chicken coop for fresh eggs each morning, a woodshed to keep your stoves stocked, and even a whimsical tree house tucked among the trees—ready for playtime or peaceful solitude. Whether you’re dreaming of a hobby farm, a mountain escape, or a full-time homestead, the opportunities here are endless. A detached 3-car garage gives you plenty of room for vehicles, tools, and toys, with space left over for a workshop. And with direct access to the National Forest, your backyard becomes an endless playground for hiking, wildlife watching, and outdoor exploration. Conveniently located just off Colorado Highway 96, you’ll enjoy easy year-round access while still feeling a world away from the hustle. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Call today to schedule your own tour of this unique home and experience the best of Colorado mountain living today.
