Peaceful mountain living on 5 private acres! Surrounded by mature pine trees, frequent wildlife, and the calming sounds of nature, this property offers a quiet escape far away from the hustle and bustle. Remodeled and move-in ready, recent updates include new flooring, fresh paint, and modern appliances that create a clean, refreshed environment ready to enjoy from day one. As you step inside, you'll instantly notice the warm, inviting ambiance throughout. Thoughtful custom woodwork adds true mountain character, highlighted by a brand-new tongue-and-groove ceiling and engineered hardwood floors that flow seamlessly through the home. The main living area features a classic brick fireplace with a new pellet stove, creating a comfortable place to relax year-round. The updated kitchen is equipped for everyday routines with a new gas range, dishwasher, and disposal, offering ample prep room and storage. The comfortable and flexible layout features three bedrooms that provide ample room for daily living, guests, or a home office, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. Multiple outdoor areas invite you to slow down and unwind. A brand-new front deck offers the perfect spot to take in the peaceful surroundings, while a side concrete patio and two storage containers topped with a custom wood deck provide incredible outdoor entertaining options. Effortless year-round living, the property comes complete with a whole-house generator and year-round road plowing, giving you worry-free access and reliability no matter the weather. Additionally, a versatile storage shed with its own porch provides extra space for hobbies, tools, and mountain gear. Located approximately 30 minutes from Fort Collins, enjoy the ultimate balance of secluded privacy and city convenience. No HOA!
With rustic charm and modern comforts, this 2 bed, 1 bath home is truly a unique hideaway. It's the best of both worlds: tucked away in the mountains on 5 acres of beautifully wooded land, but just 30 minutes to Old Town Fort Collins. The open living area is graced by hardwood floors, an impressive stone wood-burning fireplace, and many windows that overlook lush evergreen forest. Two bedrooms are quite spacious with big closets, while the third would be equally suited to use as a bedroom or an office/play area. The kitchen is fresh and modern with plenty of cabinet storage. The land itself has so much potential with 5 acres of wooded hills in Rist Canyon. You can go all out on camping, horses, hiking, hunting or any number of outdoor pursuits. There's room to park an RV and there's space to build another house if you want to go that route.
