This charming log cabin sits on five private, undividable acres backing directly to National Forest, offering rare and immediate access to the Colorado Trail, Harvard Lakes Trail, and adventure routes to Mt. Columbia and Mt. Harvard. The property is surrounded by whispering aspen trees, mountain views, and pure Colorado quiet. Located just 12 minutes from downtown Buena Vista via a paved county-maintained road this home blends the feeling of total seclusion with the convenience of town nearby.
Inside, you’ll find 1,755 square feet of warm, welcoming space. The main level features a large kitchen with plenty of counter space, a pantry, and dining area, all opening into an inviting living room with lofted ceilings, large stone fireplace and quentisential mountain cabin feel. Down a few stairs is a separate den and 3/4 bath—perfect for guests, an office, or additional living space. Upstairs is the primary suite with walk in closet, two additional bedrooms.
While the inside oozes of mountain charm the outside boasts of three outdoor living spaces that allow you to utilize the dream mountain location. Upstairs you can step out onto your dream low maintenance rooftop deck above the garage. This deck is perfect for entertaining under the stars or relaxing in the sun taking in the mountain views. The enclosed sunroom is perfect for entertaining, plant lovers, or simply enjoying the outdoors in any season. A third outdoor space—a covered back deck—faces west for unforgettable sunset views over the peaks.
From your back door you can hike, bike, cross country ski and more.
Buena Vista’s vibrant downtown is just minutes away, with its restaurants, shops, riverwalk, and community events. But back home, it’s nothing but quiet, nature, and fresh mountain air. This is a one-of-a-kind property for someone looking to live close to nature, away from the noise, and connected to everything that makes Colorado special.
