About this home

Log cabin charm meets modern day luxury in this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, three-story home in the charming neighborhood of Blue Valley Estates. Located on approximately 4.83 acres with incredible long-range mountain views, you will enjoy the privacy of being nestled in the woods yet only 8 minutes from downtown Highlands. The home has expansive wrap-around decks on two levels so you can take your pick of where to sip your morning java. Shiplap walls envelope the main level in warmth while a large stone fireplace invites everyone to gather in the great room. For convenience, the welcoming dining area is adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen features updated appliances, refinished cabinets, and marble countertops. The primary bedroom is on the lower level and boasts a wall of stone that incorporates a fireplace. Visitors will enjoy the two private en suite guest bedrooms upstairs. There is plenty of storage space to hold all of your toys, tools, and outdoor equipment. This property sits in a prime location with nearby access to hiking trails and waterfalls. Great house for full time living or to use as a rental investment!
