About this home

Discover a true Colorado mountain retreat at 678 Palisade Mountain Drive, a one-of-a-kind property where craftsmanship, adventure, and breathtaking scenery come together. Available for the first time in nearly 50 years, this extraordinary home in Cedar Springs Estates began as a seasonal cabin before evolving into a year-round mountain residence designed to celebrate its remarkable surroundings. Hand-scraped Ponderosa Pines harvested locally create stunning posts and beams that extend from the crawlspace through all three levels and into the home's iconic tower, giving the interior a warm, lodge-like atmosphere unlike anything else on the market. Expansive windows frame spectacular mountain views in every direction, including Storm, Palisade, and Crosier Mountains, and even the distant twin peaks of Longs Peak and Mount Meeker. Climb to the tower and take in panoramic 360-degree views that truly make you feel on top of the world. Inside, 2 propane fireplaces provide warmth and ambiance, while the original cabin features an antique wood-burning cookstove, ready to inspire rustic meals and memorable gatherings. Outdoor enthusiasts will feel right at home. The fully fenced property includes a loafing shed for horses, with an additional adjoining acre available for purchase to expand grazing space. Wildlife and birdwatching opportunities abound, and nearby rock faces, canyons, and trails offer endless opportunities for hiking, climbing, and exploring. Enjoy the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, with Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park just 30 min. away. With lots of storage, you shouldn't need to venture out often but Loveland is approximately 20 mi. to the east for shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Properties with this level of character, history, and craftsmanship rarely become available. 678 Palisade Mountain Drive isn't simply a home-it's an opportunity to own a piece of Colorado mountain living that's been cherished for decades....
