Quintessential Colorado log cabin surrounded by natural beauty! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Cripple Creek Mountain Estate sits this lovely home that has spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Pikes Peak both inside and out. Step inside the front door and be immediately wowed by the soaring 20-foot tongue and grove ceilings, abundant natural light, beautiful hardwood floors and walls. The spacious open concept floorplan connects to the wraparound deck via 2 sets of new sliding glass doors for a seamless transition to outdoor entertaining. Gather around the cozy electric fireplace in the living room on a chilly evening or try out a new recipe from the kitchen that has updated appliances and an island. The main floor is completed by a full bathroom and a sprawling bedroom with 3 closets. The private primary retreats takes up the entire second floor and delights with breathtaking mountain views, a bathroom, a flexible loft space, and vast bedroom with 2 closets. Renovated in 2017, the finished walk-out basement provides excellent additional living space with a non-conforming bedroom, the laundry room, and an expansive family room that connects to the covered patio via oversized sliding glass doors. Situated on 1 acre, the outdoor space offers peace and solitude as well as low-maintenance native landscaping and mature trees. This gem serves as the perfect home base for hiking, fly fishing, and wildlife viewing with Horsethief Park and miles of trails found nearby. Also nearby is the lovely community center that features an indoor pool, gym, clubhouse, tennis courts, and park. Don't miss out on this fantastic investment opportunity: the property taxes are very low, the home has a proven short-term rental history (see the supplements section for the numbers) and comes fully-furnished!
