Escape to mountain serenity just 20 minutes from Lakewood and the Denver Metro at 23231 Maricopa Road, where you can have the character of a log cabin, main-floor living, the space of a newer home, income potential, and more than an acre of remarkably flat, usable land where elk and deer roam freely. This meticulously built, well-maintained log home is truly turnkey, with modern chinking, a durable metal roof, and an exterior that was freshly re-stained in 2024. Inside, massive exposed timbers, true log walls, hardwood floors, and tons of natural light create a space that feels warm and authentic. The great room is the heart of the home, with a dramatic vaulted ceiling and a modern two-sided wood-burning stove. The adjacent high-end kitchen was designed for a private chef, boasting granite counters, a large island, and generous prep space. Main-floor living is effortless here with a primary bedroom suite, an additional bedroom or office, a remodeled 3/4 bath, and a gorgeous sunroom to take in the mountain views. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement offers flexibility and income potential, with a separate living area, second kitchen, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, mudroom, and a separate exterior access, making it perfectly suited for guests, multigenerational living, or a rental. Outside, enjoy breathtaking sunsets from a newly rebuilt heavy-duty deck constructed with robust timber and concrete piers. The exceptionally level yard also offers a garden with fruit trees, space for animals, and an oversized detached two-car garage. With natural gas and convenient access to Evergreen, Morrison, Golden, Lakewood, and Denver, this home offers a truly rare combination of serenity, foothills lifestyle, and everyday practicality you won't want to miss.
