Step into the charm of this adorable 1970s Swedish cope log home, thoughtfully crafted in a classic style—offering timeless character, rustic appeal, and solid construction. Set on a beautifully usable 1.08-acre property, this cabin-style retreat is nestled among mature landscaping, creating a peaceful, country-like setting with all the space you need to live, garden, and grow. Inside, you’ll find a warm and inviting layout with a versatile bonus room in the basement—perfect for a home office, hobby space, or guest overflow.

There are also two bonus rooms that can be used for canning, gardening, or storage for all your Colorado hobbies. Outdoors is where this property truly shines. The land has been lovingly cultivated over the years and was once home to a thriving mini farm. Rich, nutrient-dense soil—carefully hauled in—makes the garden area exceptionally productive and ready for your own vision. Mature fruit trees dot the landscape, including apples, pears, and plums near the lower portion of the property, along with apricot trees in the back and a peach tree near the driveway. In spring, fragrant lilac bushes bloom throughout, adding color and charm. Adding even more value, the metro district fee ($184/m) covers essential services and sought-after amenities, including water, sewer, trash, snow removal, and road maintenance—making for easy, low-maintenance living. Residents also enjoy fishing rights on the community pond/lake, as well as access to scenic hiking and walking trails that wind throughout the neighborhood. Whether you’re looking for a cozy full-time residence, a hobby farm opportunity, or a peaceful retreat with room to roam, this unique Swedish cope log home offers endless potential.
