About This Home

523 Expedition Drive

Welcome to your mountain retreat! This beautiful log cabin-style home sits on 6.13 acres in the private, gated River Island Ranch community near South Fork, Colorado. This home blends rustic elegance with modern comforts, and it comes fully furnished and ready to enjoy from day one! Inside, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, all styled with cozy cabin decor, aspen log furniture, and high-end Bali window treatments. The great room features soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, a dramatic river rock fireplace with a pellet stove insert, and expansive South-facing windows that let the sunshine pour in. The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar perfect for gathering at any time of day. The primary suite, located upstairs, includes a private deck and plenty of natural light. A smart thermostat allows you to warm the home remotely before you arrive, and a monitored security system gives you peace of mind. The attached two-car garage includes a workbench, cabinet storage, and extra insulation, as well as an additional freezer. There’s even a backup 16kw automatic propane generator to keep things running smoothly during the rare, mountain power outage. Outside, you'll love the freshly stained log exterior, recently painted decks and doors, and fire-mitigated landscaping approved by the South Fork Fire Department. A highlight of the side yard is the 1,500-gallon pond with a waterfall feature, ready for fish! All the pumps, filters, UV light, and accessories are in place and just waiting for water. The 325-foot-deep well produces a generous 15 gallons per minute, providing ample water for interior and exterior applications. Numerous flower beds await your green thumb with thoughtfully included sprinkler heads and buried irrigation lines. Whether you’re looking for a full-time mountain home or just a vacation getaway, this cabin is truly turnkey, right down to the pots, pans, linens, cleaning supplies, and even the toilet paper! Did I mention it’s also spotlessly clean? River Island Ranch offers a rare blend of natural beauty and private amenities. Surrounded by pristine mountain landscapes, this gated community provides exclusive access to the Rio Grande River and the Rio Grande National Forest. Owners and their guests enjoy a private 10-acre island on the river, complete with charming riverside cabins for rent and a cozy clubhouse—ideal for gatherings, relaxing, or just soaking in the view. The island also boasts a private stretch of gold-medal trout waters, making it a dream destination for fishing enthusiasts. It’s the perfect basecamp for your mountain adventures. Please see the Virtual Tours section for a full video tour/showing, a drone video, an interactive 3D Matterport tour, a link to the covenants, and a comprehensive list of home upgrades.
