Property Description

Discover the quintessential mountain retreat at 1643 Rifle Way, where rustic charm meets contemporary comfort on an expansive 1.328-acre at the end of a cul-de-sac in the coveted Forest Lakes community. This distinctive 1-bedroom, 2-bathroom A-frame cabin, enhanced by a thoughtful 2003 addition, presents 1,692 square feet of meticulously crafted living space that seamlessly blends original architectural character with modern functionality. The property's crown jewel lies in its remarkable outdoor space, positioned at the tranquil end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The generous lot showcases non-native spruce trees among the tall ponderosa pines that is enhanced by an amazing trex deck perfect for entertaining or peaceful contemplation. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and tongue-and-groove construction create an atmosphere of mountain sophistication. The eat-in kitchen features multiple windows that frame nature's ever-changing seasons complemented by abundant storage including a large pantry.

Adding value to this remarkable property is an original 1960s house structure that presents numerous possibilities for enhancement and utilization. This authentic vintage building can serve as a restorable guest house for additional accommodation [when alternative septic was added for addition they ran line to this home, buyer to verify], providing expanded hosting capabilities for family and friends. Alternatively, it functions perfectly as a storage shed for equipment and seasonal items.
