WATERFRONT! Wake each morning to gorgeous mountain views and fall asleep each night to the soothing sounds of year-round Green's Creek flowing just outside your door. Once you experience this extraordinary creekside sanctuary, you'll never want to leave.
Nestled on 35 pristine acres bordering BLM , this exceptional custom log home offers the perfect blend of privacy, luxury, and adventure. Built using massive hand-selected logs from British Columbia, the impressive 3,200+ sq. ft. residence is perfectly positioned above Green's Creek, surrounded by towering pines, aspens, abundant wildlife, and spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery.
Designed for both everyday comfort and memorable gatherings, the home features five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a desirable main-level primary suite, an additional main-floor bedroom, and an expansive great room with soaring vaulted ceilings. A magnificent stone fireplace, crafted from rocks gathered on and around the property, creates a stunning focal point while adding warmth and authentic mountain character. The walk-out lower level provides three additional bedrooms, offering ample space for family and guests.
Expansive upper and lower decks invite you to relax, entertain, or simply take in the peaceful sights and sounds of nature while enjoying panoramic mountain views. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee beside the creek, hiking/biking directly from your property onto public lands, or unwinding beneath a canopy of stars, every day feels like a retreat. For storing your toys and such, there is an oversized, detached 3 car garage.
Despite its remarkably private setting, this mountain paradise is about 5 minutes to Poncha Springs groceries and gasoline and less than 20 minutes from the year-round recreation, restaurants, shopping, and vibrant arts scene of charming Salida—offering the best of secluded mountain living with convenient access to town. Greens Creek Trailhead is 1.8 miles up CR 221, less than 10 minutes from the cabin.
