Peaceful country living at its finest. Blue Valley Lodge is a classic Montana Log Home set on 12 acres of gently sloping aspen groves with grand views and out the door recreational access to adjacent public lands. Located in Blue Valley Ranch, an idyllic gated community across the street from the Stagecoach Reservoir, this timeless mountain estate offers end of the road privacy in a jaw dropping alpine setting. Featuring 5 bedrooms plus loft, 4 bathrooms, two living areas, and a 3 car garage in 4388 sq. ft. of finely crafted living space, the home exudes warmth and subtle grandeur. Vaulted ceilings, a massive wood burning fireplace, and hardwood flooring highlight a great room that beckons gatherings with friends. With ample counter space, a gas stove top, brushed aluminum appliances, and gracious cabinetry, the open country kitchen is a delight for cooks of all abilities and flows seamlessly into dining and living areas. The primary bedroom suite, mudroom, and three car garage are also on the main level allowing owners to enjoy one floor living. Downstairs, the walk out basement features a large family room, a junior primary suite, two additional bedrooms and tons of storage. Not to be missed, the sitting room off the great room is a delight for reading a book or taking a nap while the upstairs loft works as a home office or for overflow guests. Blue Valley Lodge is incredibly efficient with solar power and generator backup. Large decks, including one with a hot tub focused on Green Ridge, and outdoor patios, are ideal for entertaining or just taking in a sunset over the Yampa River. In addition to the residence, a 36' * 40' barn with concrete floors is ready for toys and critters alike, or the addition of a caretaker unit. Five minutes to be on Stagecoach reservoir or fishing at the inlet, a few miles to the town of Oak Creek, and less than 20 mile to the Steamboat Ski Resort. Thoughtful and very well maintained, Blue Valley Lodge is a property not to be misssed.
