Description
Wake up to sunlight on the lake. Watch elk graze through the trees. End the day on the deck under a sky full of stars. This fully renovated 1961 cabin blends midcentury character with modern intention. Clean lines, natural light, and efficient use of space make the 2-bedroom, 2-bath home feel effortless. The setting is unforgettable. Set on .62 acres at the quiet end of the road. and backs to one of Big Elk Meadows' small private lakes-just enough water to reflect the morning sun and host the occasional heron. "The only sounds are wind in the trees and birds singing," the seller says...a level of quiet that's hard to come by. Wildlife is constant: moose at the kitchen window, swallows at dusk, turkeys in the yard. The renovation was comprehensive. Every surface and finish was thoughtfully updated for modern living while honoring the home's roots. The result is beautiful, with warm wood, matte finishes, updated windows and a consistent design-forward aesthetic throughout. More Dwell than cabin cliche. Inside, vaulted ceilings and large windows bring the outdoors in. The living area fits a sectional and centers around a classic stone fireplace. The kitchen is unexpectedly generous, with ample counters, open shelving, and smart storage. The sunroom-used as an office and coffee spot-faces the lake. A second bedroom includes a built-in desk, shelving, and a niche for reading or use the king-sized pull out bed for guests. Both bathrooms are modern, with custom vanities and clean-lined fixtures. Oversized one-car garage. Decks are made for entertaining or stargazing. Big Elk Meadows offers five private lakes, a pool, tennis court, basketball court, horse pasture, acres of private hunting access and volunteer fire dept. with helicopter pad. Surrounded by national forest with thousands of acres of recreational opportunities. 30 min to Lyons and 35 to Estes Park and RMNP. Rarely does a lakefront cabin with this level of design and setting come to market at this price point.
