Some properties stand above the rest, and here is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to own an alpine log cabin in a truly special location. The views of Pikes Peak, Almagre, the Sangre de Cristos, Beaver Creek Canyon and the plains to the southeast are breathtaking. Peace and solitude abound, along with healthy aspens and conifers, rock formations and a myriad of wildlife. Get away from it all and relax with a cup of coffee on the sunny, south-facing, wrap-around deck or with a leisurely hike through the woods on one of the many game trails. Check out the aerial photos for just how far you can see and how distant the neighbors are. Step inside to the soaring great room with a vaulted and beamed ceiling, abundant natural light and gorgeous views out every window. The windows are outfitted with hurricane shutters for extra weatherproofing and security. An efficient wood stove is capable of heating the entire cabin on chilly winter nights. Completing the main level are the dining area, kitchen with pantry, bedroom and bath. Scamper upstairs to play or relax in the spacious loft with more sunlit windows, a closet, 2 separate hangout spaces and plenty of space for guest beds and library, game or craft tables. The 12'X20' shed/workshop has power. Nearby public land provides even more hiking, hunting, trail riding or rock hounding and you'll only be 15 minutes from Skagway Reservoir for premier fishing. In the summer you will be thrilled with the copious wildflowers and hummingbirds. If you've been dreaming of escaping to the mountains, this is the place for you.
