Located behind the gates of The Observatory in Evergreen, this award-winning post-and-beam log main level living ranch home sits on over 8 acres"”the largest parcel in the community"”with views of the snowcapped Mt. Blue Sky range and Evergreen Lake. This residence earned the 2016 "Excellence in Log Home Design" award from the National Association of Home Builders and was featured in Log Home Living's 2015 "Best Of" issue and 2016 Rustic Architecture Magazine. Built by Derek Best of Best Homes and designed by Precision Craft Homes, the post-and-beam construction provides structural integrity and authentic mountain character. The home features soaring vaulted ceilings framing mountain views, radiant floor heating throughout, a kitchen with soapstone countertops and custom wood cabinetry, recently stained concrete floors on the main level with epoxy finish upstairs and fresh interior paint. The recently expanded 450 sq. ft. primary bathroom includes a steam shower and dual walk-in closets. A metal roof with lightning protection, recently stained exterior with treated timbers, and a sophisticated ventilation system ensure durability and comfort. The partially covered wraparound deck offers a second fireplace and a salt water hot tub for enjoying the mountain setting. A 30,000-gallon cistern at the end of the driveway provides a dedicated water source for Observatory residents and helps with home insurance and peace of mind. The 4-car garage features epoxy flooring and heating and a bay with extra high ceilings to accommodate a lift with a fully asphalted 7,200 sq. ft. driveway. Currently configured as a 3 bedroom home, by converting the the office or media room or finishing the large unfinished area, it can easily function as a 4 bedroom home. The septic system is currently sized for 6 people/3 bedrooms. This home combines recognized craftsmanship, modern systems, and exceptional mountain views on the most private lot in The Observatory.
