Gorgeous cedar lodge-style home showcasing exceptional craftsmanship, originally built by the developer of South Lake Estates. Hand-routed pine details, stunning rock archways, and artisan finishes create a warm yet refined mountain aesthetic throughout. The formal dining and living areas are beautifully accented, while newly finished amber pine floors and custom painting add depth and character. This spacious two-story residence offers 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including a private apartment above the oversized triple-car garage. The expansive kitchen is designed for both function and entertaining, featuring granite countertops with garnet accents, dual pantries, and a stainless steel double oven--ideal for hosting gatherings. A striking slate hallway leads to a large entertainment room and office, offering flexible space for recreation, work, or additional living needs. An arched window frames picturesque views of the manicured aspen yard and stone reflection pond, creating a serene backdrop. Set on 1.13 acres, approximately one-third of the property is enclosed with a 6-foot fence, while the remaining open space serves as a thoughtfully designed wildlife corridor. Professionally planned, this feature allows native wildlife--including moose, elk, deer, and other species--to travel freely between the reservoir and surrounding mountains, while maintaining a secure backyard area for domestic animals. The landscaped grounds feature a rich variety of mature trees, flowering shrubs, and perennial gardens, along with five raised garden beds. Raspberries line the wraparound covered decks, while strawberries, asparagus, and morel mushrooms can be found on the property--creating a truly unique outdoor environment. Ideally located in the county with protective covenants, this property offers both privacy and convenience, just minutes from Alpine and nearby recreation areas including Palisades Reservoir and the confluence of the Snake, Greys, and Salt Rivers--an area known for its abundant wildlife and natural beauty. Enjoy peaceful views of ponds and waterfalls from the rear deck and apartment balcony. This home includes new kitchen granite, back decking, refinished flooring, fixtures, and landscaping upgrades. Significant price reduction of $100,000 for a prompt sale due to contingency--an exceptional opportunity for a one-of-a-kind property.
