Houses like this just don't come along every day. This charming vintage log home is steps from National Forest, and just minutes from hiking trails, open space, hunting, mountain biking, and gold-medal trout fishing on the south platte river. Carefully restored and in exceptional condition, the details matter in this lovingly maintained home -- charming original and period doors, hardware, windows, built-ins, period light fixtures, and wood stove. The wall of original doors open the entire living room up to a beautiful deck overlooking the forest, with views of mountains everywhere you turn. The community of Buffalo Creek is a bit of Colorado history, closely tied to the outdoors, and still just 20 minutes or less from major grocery stores, gas stations, shopping, and restaurants. And yes, high speed internet is available through starlink and viasat. Highly sought after Jefferson county schools serve this area, and there is a straightforward commute to both Denver metro and Colorado Springs... but you aren't going to want to leave. With multiple living and dining spaces, this home has room for everyone; the floorplan is deceptively spacious. If you're looking for a unique vintage home in one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Colorado, this is it! **Water has been turned off and house has been winterized!
