About this home

Your Mountain Retreat Awaits -- Log Chalet Living at Its FinestTucked away in a setting made for slowing down, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath log chalet blends rustic character with modern comfort in all the right ways. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, rich wood finishes, and an open-concept layout washed in natural light -- the kind of space that feels like home the moment you walk in. Unwind after a long day in your private sauna, sink into the hot tub under the stars, or sip your morning coffee in the sunroom as you take in the surrounding nature. When it's time to entertain, the expansive wraparound deck is made for it -- think weekend cookouts, quiet evenings, or gathering with family and friends. Beyond the main living space, you'll find a theater room for movie nights, a dedicated gym to keep up your routine, an office/loft for remote work or quiet reading, and a spacious family room that rounds out the home's easy, everyday flow. Two fireplaces add warmth and ambiance throughout the colder months. And there's peace of mind built right in: a brand-new high-efficiency heating and cooling system was just installed, backed by a 10-year warranty. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or a mountain getaway, this log chalet delivers comfort, character, and that unmistakable lodge feel from top to bottom.
