This 22+ acre log home retreat at Elk Ridge offers a peaceful sanctuary bordering the Routt National Forest for 2,051 feet. Situated near the scenic Elk River and just minutes from Steamboat Lake, Pearl Lake and the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, this 3,360 sqft home served as a fisherman’s haven and hunter’s delight and now awaits its next adventure. Reed Creek flows along the property, adding to the inviting setting. The inviting four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with a laundry/mudroom is highlighted by an expansive covered front porch, where mornings are best spent sipping coffee, listening to the Elk River flowing by while watching wildlife meander through the towering pine trees. The cabin has a nostalgic feel and boasts a wood-burning stove and tall wood beam ceilings to create a rustic and cozy feel. The spacious kitchen boasts beautiful wood cabinetry, ample storage, and countertop seating. The main level’s open floorplan flows from the dining area directly to the oversized back deck, where you can entertain amidst breathtaking wooded views and a large backyard complete with a fire pit seating area—ideal for starlit evenings. For accessibility and convenience, there is a full bathroom and extra-large bedroom on the main level. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers stunning vaulted ceilings and walkout access to its own secluded deck. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level, offering comfort and space for family or guests. The lower level, currently used as a recreation room, is ready for your personal touches and could continue as a ping-pong and game room or additional bedrooms. The property is very secluded, with ¼ mile of private drive from a county-maintained road but just a short drive to the Clark Store for groceries and ice cream. With world-class hiking, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and biking just outside your door, this North Routt gem provides the ultimate Colorado lifestyle for anyone who loves the outdoors.
