Charming Log Cabin Retreat in the Heart of Indian Hills. Escape to this serene mountain community, a hidden gem of ponderosa pines and wildflower meadows nestled at 7,000 feet in elevation, this small town (population 1,320) is known for its beautiful scenery, outdoor activities, and close-knit community with highly rated Jefferson County public schools.
Experience this classic log cabin offering the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. The authentic character shines through, with traditional log chinking showcased throughout the interior and exterior, creating a truly timeless mountain aesthetic.
The open floor plan features dramatic high ceilings and a cozy, rock-framed wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace is a catalytic wood stove insert equipped with blower fan which circulates to maximize heating efficiency. Step into the all-season insulated sleeping porch, lined with an abundance of updated dual pane windows, this sun-drenched morning retreat also captures the refreshing cool evening breezes creating a peaceful and versatile area perfect for a bedroom or a quiet sitting room.
Peace of mind comes with the updates that include a newer roof, windows, forced air heating system, hot water heater, and plumbing. Newly replaced ENERGY STAR appliances - gas range with convection oven, frost free bottom freezer kitchen refrigerator - washer/dryer combo and additional dryer. Along with fast Wi-Fi and excellent cell service.
This cabin sits on an expansive 10,149 sq. ft. lot that extends east to Hiawatha Trail (with extra designated parking) and includes a picnic area, open-bay garage covered parking, and a separate cellar for storage. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of mountain history, thoughtfully updated for today's buyer!
