Forest Glen on the River - 3 bedroom log home with hot tub
Along the tranquil banks of the Big Thompson River, Forest Glen beckons with its enchanting luxury log home retreat. This private haven sprawls across 3-acres, boasting 500 feet of river frontage. The property is adorned with serene aspen groves and towering pine trees. Thanks to its location on a dead-end street, expect minimal traffic disruptions. Wildlife is commonly seen on the property including elk, deer, & turkeys.
Situated just 2 miles from downtown Estes Park and a few miles from the majestic Rocky Mountain National Park south entrance, Forest Glen on the River stands as an idyllic basecamp for your Estes Park adventures.
Stepping into Forest Glen on the River, you’ll see the soaring ceilings adorned with rustic log accents welcoming you into a spacious great room. A floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace takes center stage amidst modern mountain décor and warm hickory wood flooring. The living area seamlessly merges with a wall of windows, offering serene views of the backyard. Adjacent to this space, the dining area invites convivial gatherings for up to 8 guests, providing a view of the lush surroundings. Step out onto the generous patio, an ideal spot to savor the tranquility of the open backyard.
The chef’s kitchen, a culinary haven, boasts extra-thick granite countertops, a 6-burner gas range, a cabinet-style French-door refrigerator, and a capacious island. Stone floors, a dishwasher, a country-style sink, and ample counter space ensures everyone can help.
Discover the luxurious primary suite adjacent to the great room—a lavish retreat offering a king-sized bed, a private bathroom, and its own patio adorned with an outdoor gas fireplace and a hot tub. Indulge in the primary bathroom's elegant stone shower, a separate large jetted tub, and exquisite Onyx sinks.
