Escape to the country, minutes from town! Nestled in the beautiful south valley of Steamboat, this charming cabin-style home offers the perfect blend of rustic warmth and modern comfort. Located in Hilton Gulch at the base of Whitewood, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on nearly 2 acres of Agricultural/Forestry (AF) land with open space views all the way to Rabbit Ears (and no HOA!.) This classic log home boasts wide pine plank floors, updated appliances, tiled sunroom, a relaxing wood-burning fireplace, and a wrap-around deck to watch the wildlife with your morning coffee. A bonus one-room cabin full of rustic charm is just steps from the main home, ideal for that unexpected guest or space for personal creativity. The well fills a 1000-gallon cistern Seller installed in 1995. Seller enjoys the local wildlife wanderings from fox to bear with an Arlo camera system. Internet is via Elektrafi (Zirkel Wireless) at 100x100 Mbps. The road is maintained and plowed by Routt County.
