The log cabin is an American icon. The rough-hewn, humble house has long been lionized in our lore. It was the gritty abode of folk heroes like Daniel Boone. The lowly domicile of one of the nation's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The shelter of pioneers and immigrants seeking their dreams in the wilderness. It's a symbol of honesty, hard work, and unvarnished truth central to our national identity.
This hand hewn log cabin was built in 1945. "She" is centrally located overlooking Evergreen Golf Course and affectionately named "Wild Elk log cabin" and pairs beautifully with the natural-kept landscape inviting wildlife to live on the land year round. Did you know there are only 202 residential hand hewn log cabins currently available in the entire state of Colorado!
The cabin's design is focused on natural, quality carpentry, detail, function and energy savings, the pursuit of sustainability and a small footprint. Quality baths, kitchen and additional home hardware were picked with the mountain design utilized. Quality window blinds are provided. Lighting designed with dimmers. All electrical and plumbing has been updated to include a new gas furnace & gas hot water tank. The cabin is on Evergreen's city water and sewer. The cabin has the great southwestern sky to help naturally heat and light the interior.
We expanded the cabin adding a 3/4 bath for the large master bedroom upstairs and built a walk-in closet. This bedroom is the entire 2nd floor, offering beautiful golf course views with open space so no artifical light for the gorgeous western mountain views.
The 2nd bedroom is conveniently located downstairs adjacent to the full bath.
There is a full kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, a bar, a large pantry and all the desired appliances: refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, dishwasher.
The great room hosts a Lopi wood burner with an adjoining wood storage cabinet, surround wood shelving and built in shelving for a medium screen TV.
The dining room is next to the kitchen overlooking the large flagstone patio that overlooks the golf course in a private setting and includes exterior electrical and lighting.
Included is a laundry room housing a full size washer and gas dryer which is located separately in the detached garage on the property. The 2 story garage stacks a flat above where the owner lives. The buildings are totally separate, structurally and utility wise. They were built to be separate and private from the other. The driveway opens to 3 lanes and is relatively flat. The garage is used by the owner.
An 8'x10' Tuff shed with lighting and outlets was recently built close to the log cabin for the tenant's exclusive use to store outdoor gear, patio furnitue and required yard tools. There are also 4 moderate sized storage areas in the cabin.
Here in the Rocky Mountains, this property maintains natural land surrounding the cabin to promote preservation of the ecosystem, support biodiversity and maintain clean air and water. Plus habitat protection provides essential habitats for wildlife, ensuring their survival and promoting healthy populations. And because the cabin is so close to the golf course where the elk & deer love to hang out, they are always on this property which we love sharing with them! Best neighbors ever!! Another natural beauty is the sky, especially the night sky. We don't have any street lights allowing for the participaption in preserving the healthy night sky through minimal artificial light. Another reason all interior lights are on dimmers!
You really have to tour this log cabin to appreciate the great energy in part, provided by this beautiful, convenient and serene area - Evergreen. And there is Natural Grocers just 10 minutes away and King Soopers and Safeway. There is a mini bus public service, uber and lyft accessible and a fantasitc auto mechanic less than a mile. All the conveniences of home! And close because of the cabin's central location. Evergreen Lake proudly serves as the largest Zamboni-maintained outdoor skating rink in the world. Summer at the lake offers the free lake concerts, festivals, Earth Day, weddings and more. You can walk to the lake and the golf course! 13 miles to Red Rocks going through the canyon!!
