Upstairs, a sprawling loft offers bonus living space, a fitness area, and three custom-built aspen beds in the bedrooms, each crafted from trees sourced directly from the land. The primary suite invites relaxation with a luxurious jetted soaking tub surrounded by tranquil mountain views. Step outside to discover a firepit tucked among hundreds of whispering aspens, a serene backdrop that bursts into golden brilliance each fall. With ample attic storage, off-grid potential (pre-wired and piped for solar), and abundant wildlife roaming freely, this is the ultimate Colorado homestead for nature lovers and sustainability enthusiasts.
