Tucked away in the scenic beauty of Crystal Lakes in Red Feather Lakes, this stunning retreat offers the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and connection to nature. Backing directly to the North Fork of the Cache La Poudre River, the home delivers serene, year-round views and daily opportunities to enjoy visiting wildlife. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and over 700 square feet of outdoor deck space between the front and back, this home was built for both relaxation and entertaining. Imagine spending evenings gathered around the outdoor firepit area on a beautifully crafted flagstone patio set right along the river's edge. Inside, a spacious living room with exposed wood beams and expansive windows brings the outdoors in, framing breathtaking 360-degree mountain views in every direction. A wood-burning fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone surround serves as the cozy heart of the home. The split bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with a generous primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, a private 3/4 bathroom, and direct access to one of the decks. The kitchen and dining area sit at the center of the home and offer quick access to the back deck-perfect for al fresco meals under Colorado skies. Key updates include a new roof in 2009, a replaced electrical panel in 2019, and a new septic system installed in 2020. Improvements have also been made to the driveway and culvert. The home is on a private well and is just one hour from Fort Collins, making it an ideal year-round residence or peaceful second home getaway. Crystal Lakes maintains and plows the roads, offering convenience and accessibility throughout the seasons.
