Tucked within landscape of Indian Camp Ranch, America’s first archaeological subdivision and a National Register of Historic Places site, this extraordinary custom-built log home offers a rare opportunity to live where craftsmanship, comfort, and ancient history meet. Set on an expansive 42.12 acre parcel, the residence spans 2,625 square feet and is surrounded by wide open skies, sage and juniper. This remarkable home was constructed with hand-scribed, dead-standing spruce logs from British Columbia, and no expense was spared in creating a warm, enduring retreat that feels both timeless and refined. Inside, the home features four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged to balance privacy with open, inviting gathering spaces. At the heart of the home, a dramatic vaulted great room opens seamlessly across the living and kitchen area, anchored by a striking fireplace that rises to the vaulted ceiling. A stunning wall of Andersen wood clad windows frames sweeping views of the La Plata and Mesa Mountains, filling the space with natural light and surrounding terrain. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom solid alder cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with butcher-block top, and stainless steel appliances, perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
