    What's special

    HUGE PRICE DROP!! Experience the Colorado mountain lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. Nestled on nearly 5 private acres overlooking Golden Gate Canyon State Park, this beautifully updated log home offers breathtaking views of the Continental Divide and abundant wildlife—including elk, moose, bears, deer, and hummingbirds (sometimes right out your front door!). Inside, recent updates include hardwood flooring throughout, upgraded windows and doors, updated electrical, and an egress window in the lower-level bonus room for added safety and flexibility. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light and designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. Step outside to about 500 square feet of reinforced wraparound decking, perfect for enjoying mountain sunsets, morning coffee, and year-round views. The home's southern exposure provides excellent natural light, while the blacktop driveway helps reduce dust and encourages winter snow melt. Outdoor recreation is right at your doorstep with neighborhood access to Golden Gate Canyon State Park and fishing just one mile away. Additional features include exterior firewood storage and a super-cute playhouse down the hill. Tucked away in a quiet mountain neighborhood on a well-maintained county road, this property offers the privacy and serenity mountain buyers crave while remaining just 25 minutes to Golden, 20 minutes to Black Hawk, 40 minutes to Downtown Denver, and less than an hour to DIA. All information is reliable, but not guaranteed. Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all information.
