Perched on 2.6 beautifully forested acres with fabulous foothills and valley views, this contemporary log home offers the best of Colorado mountain living with a thoughtful, flexible floor plan. The main level is designed for easy one-level living, with the kitchen, dining area, living room, ensuite primary bedroom, and laundry all on the same floor. The lower level is particularly appealing for multigenerational living, roommates, or those who want separate guest space. The fully equipped suite has its own entrance and includes a large kitchen, dining/living area, two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and laundry- providing privacy and independence if desired. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light and beautifully frame the surrounding foothills and valley views. Both kitchens offer generous counter and storage space and mostly stainless steel appliances, with distinctive Colorado granite countertops in the main kitchen. Two wood-burning stoves create cozy gathering spaces on winter evenings. Newer luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpet, high-R-value spray foam insulation, and a whole-house water softener and filtration system add comfort and efficiency. Outside, the expansive east-facing deck showcases sweeping views-ideal for morning coffee, relaxing, dining, or entertaining-while hand-hewn log siding, stucco accents, and sandstone pathways complement the natural setting. An oversized 672 SF two-car attached garage, along with additional RV/boat parking, provides plenty of room for vehicles and gear. Property features include an excellent-producing well estimated at 6 GPM, additional water storage, a natural spring, and optional garden beds. Enjoy peaceful mountain privacy with no HOA and access via a county-maintained road, all just minutes from downtown Lyons, local trails, parks, schools, music venues, restaurants, and RTD bus service. Boulder and Longmont are within easy reach, with convenient access to Denver, DIA, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains where the North and South St. Vrain Rivers meet, Lyons, Colorado is a small town with big character.

Johnson Park and Bohn Park provide family-friendly spaces with playgrounds, sports courts, and creekside trails. The St. Vrain River is a centerpiece of local life, offering tubing, kayaking, and a peaceful place to unwind.
