On more than 1.5 acres, this completely furnished dovetail log cabin with breathtaking views of Pikes Peak opens into a backyard measured in thousands! Pike National Forest forms the north boundary, offering the freedom of a Colorado mountain holding without the price tag or responsibility. Walk through your private foot gate to hike, climb granite and explore, or enter from the wider opening off the cul-de-sac by ATV or side-by-side. The 600 sq ft main level surrounds you with timber walls, honey-toned wood floors, windows and vaulted T&G ceilings. When high-country nights turn chilly, settle near the freestanding woodstove with hot chocolate or a hot toddy as firelight sends shadows dancing across the room. Maple cabinetry, ample counters and full-size appliances make this a true working kitchen when cooking moves indoors. Two decks extend from the main level into a view that changes by the hour. On cool mornings, cradle a steaming mug and breathe in fresh air as sunlight brushes the summit, sets the granite aglow and pours into the valley. Listen to the wind and savor the quiet before the property stirs, doors open, breakfast starts and the firepit is coaxed back to life. Two inviting bedrooms, each with a large drawer unit in lieu of closets, and a full bath round out the main level. With its own exterior entrance, the finished 504 sq ft basement shines with fresh paint, new carpet and recessed lights, bringing more people, laughter and memories into every season. A powered RV hookup expands the ways to gather while the two-loft shed stores gear for every excursion. Watch eagles ride the afternoon current or glass the timber for deer, elk and the occasional bear. As darkness settles, pull chairs beside the embers, trade stories beneath the stars and listen for owls in the distance. Only 90 minutes from COS Airport, with Eleven Mile Reservoir and the Dream Stream nearby, this Lake George retreat is ready for the mountain traditions you have been waiting to make!
