Discover the perfect blend of Colorado charm and wide-open freedom in this stunning log home on 40 acres just west of Loveland. With 4,317 total square feet, this property offers the space, privacy, and versatility you've been looking for, and just a 15-minute drive to downtown Loveland. Non-restrictive covenants means the freedom to make it your own, and enough space for all possibilities. Inside, you'll find a warm, inviting log interior with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on the main levels, plus a partially finished basement with two additional bedrooms and another bath. The open-concept living areas feature rustic finishes, abundant natural light, and unbeatable views of the foothills. For horse enthusiasts, this is a dream setup. The stable includes four 12x12 stalls with automatic waterers, turnouts, hay storage, a riding arena, and a two-section pasture for grazing and rotation. There's also a 35x75 shop building, currently used as a workshop, that could easily be converted into an additional barn or equipment storage. The shop is fully insulated and features heated floors, 100 amp service and a second level for storage, with windows and both interior and exterior access. The property also features a fenced garden area, a chicken coop, and a separate fenced space for other animals. The PV solar setup provides significant energy, and is owned outright. Property has been mitigated and inspected by local fire authority to minimize fire risk.
