Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a Big Thompson Canyon cottage, a fisherman's dream! This mountain cottage offers a perfect blend of rustic character and modern updates, tucked against dramatic rock outcroppings in the heart of the Big Thompson Canyon. The exterior features updated green shake siding and stone steps leading to a welcoming front porch, while the property is surrounded by the natural beauty of the national forest and proximity to the Big Thompson River. A large, private fenced-in side yard provides ample outdoor space for pets or gatherings amidst the pines and rugged landscape. Inside, the bright, open-concept layout is defined by vaulted wood-paneled ceilings and beautiful wide-plank wood flooring that flows throughout the main level. The heart of the home is a functional kitchen equipped with warm oak cabinetry and large windows that frame views of the canyon. A unique custom industrial-style ladder provides access to a cozy, finished loft space. The home is designed with a seamless flow between the living areas and bedrooms, accented by rustic wood trim and solid wood doors. Practical features include a main bathroom with a full tub and shower, an efficient wrap-around kitchen layout, and a generously sized utility and storage area below the cabin. This cabin also features full-size clothes washer and dryer. Low-maintenance landscaping ensures the home blends perfectly into its mountain environment, offering a serene escape that captures the true spirit of the Rockies.
