This 1939 Allenspark log cabin has been single family owned for 43 years and it shows. Maintained, remodeled, and ready for you to love it, this 2 bed / 1 bath mountain retreat is move-in ready for year-round living or a vacation home. The southern exposure floods the space with natural light through generous windows while the wood-burning fireplace keeps things warm and cozy. New septic, new hot water heater, and town water mean the big ticket items are handled. Two basements and two sheds cover all of your storage needs. Outside, nearly half an acre of gardens and wildflowers surrounds a Trex deck with straight-on views of Meadow Mountain and Mount Meeker. The hummingbirds and songbirds are constant companions, bringing wildlife to your backyard. The quaint town of Allenspark is the ideal mountain town: Meadow Mountain Cafe and Tree Huggers Coffee are steps away, along with a local art gallery and weekly yoga and tai chi classes. Rocky Mountain National Park at Wild Basin is 10 minutes out, St. Vrain River fishing and Roosevelt National Forest trailheads are 5 minutes away, Estes Park is 20 minutes, Boulder and Longmont are 30 minutes, Eldora Ski Resort is 45 minutes, and DIA is 90 minutes on a state-maintained road with easy year-round access. Hike, bike, fish, ski, snowshoe, or just sit on the deck with a cocktail and watch the sun descend behind the Rocky Mountains from your deck. Properties like this, with this history, this condition, and this location, do not come around often.
