Beautiful log home on over an acre. Pikes Peak view and great southern exposure. Logs are milled square so it's easy to place furniture and hang pictures on the wall. Vaulted ceilings in the living and dining rooms. Ceilings are knotty pine tongue and groove. New granite countertops, a breakfast bar, and oak cabinets in the newly-tiled kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The dining room boasts huge picture windows to enjoy the Pikes Peak views. Passive-solar and a wood- burning stove in the living room heat the main and upper levels very efficiently, and baseboard electric heat Is available, too, if you need it.. The property is powered by a 24-panel solar electric system, that sells power back to the utility company! There is a bedroom and a tiled bath with granite-topped vanity on each level of the home, as well as a lovely office area in the large, bright, open loft.. The Master bedroom Is located on the main level, with its own full bath. The lower level has a large family room with large picture window and walk-out door to the new, lovely lower deck. The third bedroom, on the lower level, is spacious with a large window and doors onto a private sitting area on the deck. An impact-resistant roof was applied in 2011, and the home is stained and chinked inside and out. To complete this lovely home, there's a nice upper deck on the east and south sides, so you can enjoy the outdoors and watch the wonderful wildlife. Large, mature aspens, firs, spruces and ponderosa pines can be found on the property. Newly added in 2017 is a beautiful, 26' x 24' two-storey detached garage with a huge, bright loft and row of five clerestory windows. The spacious main level easily accommodates two cars, is abundantly lit and electrified, and affords a lot of extra floor space for a workshop and refrigerator and freezer. A big bonus is the huge picture window on the rear wall that lets in natural light, and looks out over this beautiful property. Finally, for safety and security, there are motion-sensing LED lights on all sides of the garage and house, so you never have to fear going out after dark. Added in 2018: Solar Electric System for entire property, and new Stainmaster carpet throughout. The private community lakes are within walking distance of this home, and great fishing can be had year around. There is a community building with full kitchen that can be rented for larger gatherings. Located just 45 minutes to Colorado Springs, 30 minutes to Cripple Creek and 90 minutes to Breckenridge and fantastic skiing. This home will make a great full-time residence or second home.
