The property was first settled in 1948, with the construction of a comfy but humble log home. The current residents built a custom stucco home next door to the original log home, and eventually joined the two homes together in 2006 for the sake of convenience, creating a total area of 3,702 square feet. The original home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths; the newer stucco home also has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths; the combined home has a total of 6 bedrooms and 4 baths. The owners live in the stucco home, which has a main level master suite, two upstairs bedrooms & bath, a spacious living area with vaulted ceilings, sunny kitchen, and spacious verandas. The log home makes a nice mother-in-law apartment and has an excellent income history as an AirBnB rental. The home is served by two septic systems and the Ute domestic water company, as well as natural gas and high-speed internet.
