Today's home is the ultimate “cabin in the woods” that many mountain lovers always dream about. However, this beautiful log home is nearly 3,300 square feet and features three bedrooms, three and a half baths and a spectacular setting. The home at 1487 Blue Ridge Road in Silverthorne is offered at $925,000. Built in 2000, the full peeled log detail, multiple decks and 1.87 acres are some of the lovely features that distinguish this home.
The drive sweeps up from the road to the house which sits on top of a ridge looking out toward the Williams Fork Range. A long covered porch spans the length of the home providing a perfect spot to linger in a rocker with a cold drink and enjoy the forest behind the house. The main door is on this side, with the door opening into a stone floored entry with a coat closet and a boot bench. A powder room is here as well, with a painted sink set into an antique footed cabinet.
Directly ahead is the Great room with wood floor and majestic windows looking all the way down valley. A stone wood burning fireplace anchors the space with a half log mantle and raised hearth. Tongue and groove cathedral ceilings soar for a spacious feel. Glass doors and a wall of windows bring the outside in and provide access to the front wraparound deck which drinks in the view.
To the left, the dining room also has doors out to the perfect spot for a barbeque. The adjoining kitchen has natural stained wood cabinetry and slab granite countertops in charcoal and warm taupe tones. The counter has two tiers, adding extra bar seating. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a GE Monogram range with four burners, a grill, a griddle, double ovens, and a professional hood. Other appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator, microwave and a Bosch dishwasher. A built in desk area adds convenience, as does the walk in pantry and laundry. A triple window over the double sink adds lots of natural light.
To the right of the entrance, the main floor master suite has a door out to the deck and enjoys the same spectacular views. The master bath features tumbled tile countertops and floors. A separate shower with a bench and two heads, one of them a rainwater head, and a jetted tub, allows for relaxation.
The stairway up from the main level features peeled log details and leads up to a small loft — the perfect spot for a quiet book. There is a large bedroom suite on either side, spacious enough to hold large beds as well as a set of luxury bunks in each. A tiled bath features double sinks.
The lower level of the home can be locked off to provide a separate space. It features a separate entrance and big windows with the same mountain vistas. A wet bar on the left allows a spot for entertaining. The spacious room can be a studio apartment, a fourth sleeping space, or a family room, depending on your needs. A full bath on this level and an additional laundry with utility sink are added amenities. The oversized two car garage is also accessed here.
Throughout the home, the warm welcoming décor and mountain details provide the perfect ambience. Just 6 miles past The Raven Golf Course, and a short drive to the highway and shopping and dining options in Silverthorne and Dillon, this home retains the feel of a true mountain getaway. With comfortable details, an open gathering space, and a private setting, don't miss the opportunity to make this your mountain retreat for all seasons.
