Surrounded by privacy, this wonderful south facing log home offers a rare balance of warmth, character, and contemporary convenience. Standing atop a clearing, the views to the south are grand, with Bear Peak to the east and even a direct look at the plains beyond the foothills. Living there feels like living on an island, while being near an abundant network of hiking trails, Gross reservoir and only 20 minutes to Chautauqua Park. The massive logs were picked and carried down from further up the mountain and make for a home that does not creak with the wind nor shiver from the cold weather. Step inside to a warm, inviting interior where an open-concept layout is enhanced by cathedral ceilings in the living room and kitchen, creating an airy space ideal for relaxing and entertaining. The main level offers two comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom with dual sinks. Downstairs, the lower level provides a versatile retreat with a third bedroom, expansive recreation room, and direct access to the outdoors-perfect for guests, hobbies, or additional living space. Outside, the wrap-around deck invites you to enjoy peaceful seclusion, picturesque views, and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Located in the desirable Pine Needle Notch subdivision and enveloped by the breathtaking 2,500-acre Walker Ranch Open Space, this property offers exceptional access to nature and outdoor adventure.The neighbors to the south and north have built far away and are on 2-3 acres lots, while the neighbors to the east and west have 35 acres lot or more. Most of the area is built out and since it is forestry land, you can expect few changes to the entire neighborhood. Flagstaff Road not being a through-road experiences very little traffic. Public trails can be found as close as 1 mile away from the property. Deer, elks, wild turkeys will be seen almost daily on the property or nearby.
