A rock-solid log home perched on 8 acres of pristine land, this oasis epitomizes mountain luxury and tranquility. The custom-built residence, featuring Butt and Pass corner style log construction and a stone wall foundation, offers unmatched durability and charm. The property's panoramic views stretch from the cliffs over Redstone to the summit of Mt. Sopris, creating a simply breathtaking backdrop. Inside, the home's vaulted ceilings and open floor plan are accentuated by wood-crafted floors, wood-sculptured walls, and a stacked stone fireplace, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen is a culinary dream, boasting a gas burner cooking island and stainless appliances, seamlessly flowing into the communal living spaces. Accommodations include two primary suites and a bunkroom, complemented by a spacious loft office/den, which could also serve as an additional bedroom. Aesthetic and practical features abound, such as a clawfoot tub for relaxing soaks and a heated oversized garage for storage and convenience. This turn-key property comes fully furnished, with meticulous maintenance inside and out. Its expansive wrap-around covered porch offers endless views and a vantage point to observe the abundant wildlife and listen to the Crystal River's soothing sounds during the warmer months. Located with a national forest on two sides, the home is close to outdoor adventures, including hiking and biking trails. While secluded, it remains just a short drive to both downtown Carbondale and quaint Redstone, and less than an hour from Aspen's four world-class skiing destinations. 283 Cherokee is more than a home; it's a testament to quality craftsmanship and a gateway to a lifestyle surrounded by nature's beauty. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property embodying the essence of Colorado living.
