291 Elk Valley Rd, Bayfield, CO 81122

This is the first home built in Deer Valley Estates and has been in the same family for nearly 40 years. Built utilizing a D-Log design that maximizes the inherent energy efficiency of a log home, this lovely cabin has a wonderful open design with a well appointed kitchen and dining area that opens to a comfortable living room with tall vaulted ceilings and a super efficient Federal Airtight wood burning stove. There is a large bedroom and full bath on the main living level as well as a big laundry and storage room that has access to a side deck for convenient access to firewood. The huge covered front porch is over 1,000sqft and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy cool Colorado summer days and watch dozens of hummingbirds feed at the multiple feeders. Upstairs is a huge loft, double walk in closet and bath that serves as the primary suite. There is another large room upstairs for additional sleeping quarters, office or bonus room. The home sits proudly on the high point of the gently rolling 4+ acre property providing great views of the surrounding Ponderosa Pine forest and mountains beyond. There is a 900sqft oversized detached two+ car garage with tons of storage space in the attic above and on the sides of the garage.
