Nestled on over 21 acres of untouched meadow, aspen grove, and evergreen forest, this beautiful mountain property offers a perfect blend of end-of-the-road privacy, natural beauty, and elevated mountain living. Custom-built by Legacy Log Homes in 2012, the residence is constructed from full 12" logs, blending timeless design and craftsmanship with the natural flow of the landscape. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, wood floors, and expansive windows invite endless natural light, framing stunning views from every angle. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is designed for both functionality and style, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, pantry, and a spacious breakfast bar that connects to the open dining and living areas. Making it easy to enjoy quiet mornings and lively gatherings alike. The main-level primary suite offers an easy-to-access private escape, while additional bedrooms and dedicated office space provide flexibility for guests, family, workout, or work-from-home needs. The sunny, walk-out lower level extends the home's livability, opening to a patio that leads to a gorgeous private meadow with a seasonal creek winding through the dynamic landscape. The land itself invites exploration, from open meadows to shaded groves, offering countless opportunities to connect with your personal sanctuary, filled with wildlife and seasonal wildflowers. Located just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and Roosevelt National Forest, this property provides direct access to some of Colorado's most treasured mountain landscapes. 470 Big John Road is more than a home-it's a place to slow down and blend in with your surroundings. A place to gather with family and friends. It's a truly unique offering in the heart of the Rockies, with great accessibility to Estes Park, Allenspark, Lyons, and the rest of the beautiful Front Range of Colorado.
