Description
Act fast and you could be the lucky new owner of this mountain log cabin in Fairplay’s Redhill forest Neighborhood in the center of the Colorado Rockies! Enjoy the quiet seclusion of this 4 acre property with a mix of Aspen and healthy Douglas Fir trees. The acreage borders a common area so there will always be plenty of elbow room with no visible neighbors. This could the place for a kid to discover nature or offer a grown up respite from the drain of technology. There are numerous interesting rock formations and scenic vantages to explore surrounding the house. Marvel at Pikes Peak or Little Baldy Mountain depending on which of the 2 spacious sun drenched decks you are on. If there are a few rain showers, don’t fear, the covered front deck will keep you in the clear! There is a double driveway with a large turn out which allows for maneuvering a 22 ft camper and a utility shed for your storage needs.
The original log cabin, built in 1996, was expanded and completely remodeled in 2006 and now boasts 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The blending of the old and new cabins is imperceptible except to the most discerning eye. Some of the updates are a Hearthstone soapstone wood stove, a Vermont Casting woodstove, double pane windows, wood blinds that match logs, storm doors, a 5 piece master bath with in floor radiant heat, and an oversize Jacuzzi tub. The cabin is perfect for entertaining with a spacious open floor plan boasting a 21' x 20' kitchen and 17' x 26' living room. The one level floor plan layout is conducive to indoor/outdoor living in the summer months with decks on two sides of the house. There is a custom, built in, hidden door inside a log that one would be hard pressed to find. It transforms the living room into a third bedroom when the occasion warrants. The young or young at heart will enjoy the custom, insulated, log sided playhouse which is comfortable enough to spend the night in with a loft, heat and electricity.
The highly acclaimed Redhill Forest HOA managed, state of the art water system supplies water to the neighborhood. The HOA also maintains water quality, oversees the water plant operations, maintains the roads and conducts snowplowing. The neighborhood also has a conveniently located RV dump station.
Some of the best perks of living in Redhill Forest are the miles of private fishing rights you enjoy on the Middle Fork of the South Platte and the access easement to the nearby Bureau of Land Management property on Reinecker Ridge. The neighborhood is very close to the Tomahawk State Wildlife area. Deer, fox, hawks, and chipmunks are some of the creatures you will get to know as nature’s neighbors when you live in Redhill Forest.
Travel just 45 minutes to Breckenridge to enjoy world class skiing to the north or 45 minutes west to the Arkansas Valley to take in some of Colorado’s best white water rafting. The central location of this mountain log cabin is just 15 minutes south of Fairplay, the Trout Fishing capital of Colorado. Imagine being able to go back country skiing in the Mosquito Range and fly fishing on the Middle Fork of the South Platte all in the same day!
