Public Remarks: What mountain dreams may come from living in this serene and rare location that backs to the majestic Roosevelt National Forest. In addition to your own 7-acre Rocky Mountain playground, you can wander more than 800,000 acres of pristine lands for hiking, mountain biking or to view the elk, deer and other furry neighbors. Well-maintained and beautifully constructed log home feels like a private lodge. Rich wood interior has a midcentury vibe and has been updated over the years. Main floor primary bedroom suite has a place for an office or perhaps a yoga room. Kitchen is spacious, ready for your culinary tools and is conveniently connected to the attached 2-car garage. The land beckons you to invite friends for BBQ or to hike in the backyard to a beautiful overlook. Covered front deck is perfect for that quiet glass of wine. Pinewood Springs is only 10-min from Lyons / 20 min to Estes Park, does not have an HOA and has well-maintained roads. It's mountain light living at is finest.
