3 bed/2 bath cabin in Red Feather Lakes under $325,000

By
Real Estate Agent with United Country Ponderosa Realty, Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

All the privacy and solitude, or fun and recreation you crave awaits. This 2274 sq. ft. home sits on a corner lot, 3.04 mostly level acres, filled with ponderosa pine, douglas fir, and aspen in beautiful Crystal Lakes.

The Crystal Lakes community is approximately 45 miles NW of Fort Collins, via Hwy 287 and County Roads 74E to 73C, and is a great choice for buyers looking for a peaceful mountain retreat or full time home.  At an elevation of about 8400 feet, it is cooler in summer and the HOA plows the roads in winter for year round access.

The once cozy cabin doubled in size with the addition of a spacious family room, workshop, and 2 car garage.  There is one bedroom on the main level and 2 more upstairs, with forest and mountains views from every window. It has its own well and septic sytem, and a back-up generator,

Not only does this home have a cozy living room with a gas log freestanding stove, the spacious family room with tongue and groove ceiling includes the pool table and the comfy mountain style furniture. 

 

"Everything with a bear or moose on it stays!"

 

 

The family room would be a great place for a football party, or get-together with family and friends. The patio doors leading out to the deck will extend the party outdoors on cool summer nights or beautiful fall days.

In addition to the huge deck for entertaining, there is a lovely covered front deck. The upper deck above, has separate entrances to 2 of the bedrooms, and splendid views of Black Mountain. 

Crystal Lakes has a 50 acre private reservoir, and several ponds & lakes, The North Fork of the Poudre and Panhandle Creek run through- there are hiking trails, and endless opportunity for recreation and viewing wildlife.

You might have to share this parcel of land with the occasional wildlife passing through!

Call me, I would love to show this home in beautiful Crystal Lakes!

Thanks Sharon Lee - that moose was the biggest one I have seen in Crystal Lakes.  It was on another lot, at a showing a few years ago :-)

Ha,ha, ha, Mary, you know me so well. That's exactly what I was wondering!!! What a steal of a price! You know when I retire, I will need a second home in the states somewhere because my husband does not want to move to Hawaii full time.
