Short Creek: Sangre De Cristo Mountains

Property Description

Set in a quiet aspen grove at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this handcrafted log home offers Colorado mountain living shaped by natural beauty, true craftsmanship, and a calm sense of place. Positioned on 4.33 wooded acres with unobstructed views of Spread Eagle Peak, the setting invites daily connection to the land. Short Creek flows through the property, and a permitted, spring fed pond adds a rare, tranquil water feature that enriches the landscape with the sounds of moving water, rustling aspens, and open mountain air. Built in 1994, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home spans 2,838 square feet and showcases handcrafted full scribe log construction. Each log was individually selected and fitted using traditional techniques designed for long term durability, natural settling, and strong energy efficiency, blending time tested artistry with modern performance. Inside, soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, rich wood floors, and dramatic windows frame the surrounding scenery. The great room centers on a striking stone, wood burning fireplace for gathering and unwinding. The kitchen features granite countertops, warm cabinetry, a generous island, and an easy flow into dining and living spaces for everyday comfort and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat beneath vaulted ceilings with loft access overlooking the great room, balancing openness and privacy. The walkout lower level expands options with a large family room featuring a stone gas fireplace, a kitchenette, flexible recreation space, an additional bedroom and bathroom, and direct outdoor access for guests or extended stays. Outdoor living shines with a full wraparound deck offering multiple places to relax, dine, and take in the views, from morning light on Spread Eagle Peak to evening creekside quiet. With live water, a permitted pond, iconic views, and exceptional log craftsmanship, this property stands apart as a true mountain sanctuary. Call to schedule a showing today.
