Welcome home to Alpenglow, a one-of-a-kind modern cabin in a splendid location perched above the Batavia Kill in the heart of the lovely Denver-Vega Valley. The name means a magical trick of the light. As the sun sets, shadows deepen in the golden valley and a rosy glow reflects off the mountains above the gentle but lively creek. This home has been truly reimagined and extensively renovated and rebuilt, but a few elements from its origins as a rustic cabin have been smartly retained, like the character-drenched birch branch enclosed porch and the stone chimney. It is highly efficient and low maintenance. All of the materials used in the renovations were carefully selected with great thought, and every piece of lumber in the house was milled locally including the gorgeous chestnut and hemlock beams, and the stunning blonde knotty pine wide farmhouse-style floors. The airy feeling created throughout the house is augmented by the generous natural light and the dreamy views through almost all of the windows. As cozy and comfy as the house is, one must explore the property to truly understand Alpenglow’s essence. The easy water access for swimming and fishing and the valley and water views are unparalleled. You will love the deck and covered porch for gracious and easy outdoor entertaining, and the myriad of beautiful trees and plantings include many added by the green thumbed sellers. Bald eagles and king fishers are regular guests here, flying over the water. Nearby are the towns of Roxbury, Margaretville and Fleischmanns with their shops and restaurants, and world class hiking trails are also minutes away. Skiers, Belleayre Mountain is within six miles, and county maintenance of the road insures that plowing is speedy in season. You could not easily build a house like this now in this area for the asking price that has anywhere near this much thoughtful detail, utility, efficiency, and rustic character let alone one in its magical scenic location. Adding to the calming and relaxing vibes is the knowledge that the house is not located in the flood plain, it sits high and dry over it. And for those pursuing something very turn key, it is possible to discuss the furniture remaining, for an easy move in to your own sweet country home!
