Log Cabin in the Woods

Past the wagon wheel entrance sign and through a cathedral of ponderosa pines, the red roof of this log cabin comes into view. Situated on five acres in the Antelope Valley subdivision, this 1,296 sq ft cabin is built for one-level living. A gorgeous Trex deck and covered front porch stretch the full width of the cabin, where cool mountain breezes drift through the pines, filling your senses, and are your entry into a living room that soars under a vaulted knotty pine ceiling, anchored by a pellet stove set in a stacked stone surround with a peeled-log mantel. LVP floors, a picture window framing the pines, and warm tongue-and-groove walls make this a room you will not want to leave. The kitchen features red-painted cabinetry, granite counters, a dark brick tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and French door refrigerator, with a farmhouse table tucked beside the window where morning light filters through the trees. The primary bedroom and full bath are both on the main floor, along with a cozy reading nook that is exactly what a mountain afternoon calls for. Upstairs, the loft holds a second bedroom with room for both a queen and a daybed, a small office nook, and floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves lining the landing above the great room through peeled-log railings. The 1,200 sq ft oversized garage offers in-floor radiant heating, two oversized bays, extended covered parking on both sides, and workshop space. Above it, a finished ADU includes a bedroom and a multipurpose space perfect for gatherings, crafts, or a quiet retreat of your own. While there is electricity to the ADU, water and septic have not been installed; however, that opportunity does exist. Westcliffe, with its shopping, dining, and rural health care, is about twenty minutes away, and your drive is filled with gorgeous views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising on the horizon.
