Nestled on the slopes of Colorado’s highest peaks, this log cabin in the woods is the mountain home you’ve been dreaming of. A mix of post & beam construction and true round log walls brings rustic charm, while a comfortable, modern layout features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open concept main floor, and a downstairs second living space. A stacked-rock hearth, private hot tub, and wood burning stove round out the alpine ambiance that makes this the perfect place to gather with family and friends. This cabin is close to skiing, sold fully furnished, and offers income potential from either short-term or long-term rentals. The spacious lot offers privacy, filtered mountain views, and a 1 car garage for all your toys. Conveniently situated in Placer Valley, the property is only 5 mins to downtown Alma, and 16 miles from the Breckenridge Ski Resort. With the Middle Fork of the South Platte River just down the road, recreational opportunities are endless. Enjoy direct access from your neighborhood to summers spent fly-fishing, hiking, or 4-wheeling, and winters spent nordic skiing, ice climbing, or ice skating. The cabin has no HOA, and no transfer tax. Escape the hustle, and embrace tranquility from this quintessential Colorado retreat. Schedule your private viewing today.
