About 18680 Wapiti Cir
This charming log cabin sits on five private, undividable acres backing directly to National Forest, offering rare and immediate access to the Colorado Trail, Harvard Lakes Trail, and adventure routes to Mt. Columbia and Mt. Harvard. The property is surrounded by whispering aspen trees, mountain views, and pure Colorado quiet.

Inside, you’ll find 1,755 square feet of warm, welcoming space. The main level features a large kitchen with plenty of counter space, a pantry, and dining area, all opening into an inviting living room with lofted ceilings, large stone fireplace and quentisential mountain cabin feel.
