This authentic creek-side log home on 7.38 acres captures the kind of mountain lifestyle that's getting harder to find. Set alongside Cottonwood Creek, which winds through the property, the setting is peaceful, private, and full of the simple rhythms that make country living so special - mornings with the sound of rushing water, evenings around the wood stove, space for animals, gardens, and room to breathe. Teeming with authentic log home charm, the residence features beautiful built-ins, remodeled bathrooms, quartz countertops in the kitchen and laundry room, newer stainless appliances, a freestanding wood stove, and a welcoming front porch that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The heating system includes a freestanding boiler, wood stove, and electric baseboards, with the boiler already stubbed into the outdoor shop for future heat access. Beyond the home, the property is thoughtfully set up for a true mountain homestead lifestyle with a chicken coop, dog run, fencing, greenhouse, detached cabins, and a large outbuilding with tractor storage, garage space, and workshop area. Despite the private creek-side setting, the property remains conveniently located just a few miles from the Clark Store and close to the local charter school and preschool, offering a rare blend of seclusion, character, and accessibility. About thirty minutes from Steamboat Springs, this home is tucked away yet a short drive to all that Steamboat has to offer.
