Why the Owner Chose Cripple Creek
I chose to buy this home because of its exquisite setting atop a mountain with 360 degree views on 8.59 acres. I also love that it is solid log, well designed and a great "canvas" for decorating. I also love that it is only 3.5 miles from conveniences yet remote and private. Finally, I love that it is surrounded by pine and aspen and a great place for my dogs to run freely.
The Unique Benefits of this Log Home
The unique benefits of this property is the privacy, unsurpassed beauty, and proximity to attractions, scenic byways, protected areas and conveniences.
