This 4,088 square foot log home offers true Colorado living on 1.64 level acres in the quiet Acres of Ireland neighborhood. With no HOA or covenants, the property delivers privacy, space, and flexibility just 15 minutes from Salida.

Built in 1982, the home blends classic log character with thoughtful updates and a layout designed for both everyday living and hosting.
