There are plenty of mountain houses. Very few actually feel like Colorado. 177 Cedar Drive is one of them. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by towering pines, open meadow views, abundant wildlife, and the kind of peace that's becoming harder and harder to find. The 2 bedroom home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully improved with radon mitigation, plumbing upgrades, fresh interior paint, updated baseboard heaters, refreshed exterior and deck staining, and countless smaller improvements that make everyday ownership easier while preserving the authentic cabin character that drew the current owners here in the first place. One of the things that makes this property truly special is its setting. The lot is unusually usable for a mountain home, enjoys excellent year-round sun exposure, and offers the perfect balance of privacy without sacrificing accessibility. Living in Big Elk Meadows means more than owning a home. It means private fishing ponds, hiking trails, wildlife outside your window, community amenities, and the opportunity to experience mountain living without giving up convenience.
