Property details
About 918 Escondida Dr
Tucked among towering Ponderosa pines on two private acres, this stunning mountain home is a showcase of craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and natural beauty. With its hand-scribed log work and abundance of natural light, this property offers that rare blend of rustic elegance and everyday comfort. Soaring two-story windows at the front and back of the home frame long-range mountain views, while the surrounding forest provides privacy and a sense of serenity. A small, natural pond out back draws in local wildlife—deer, elk, and more—creating a peaceful, ever-changing view you can enjoy from the back patio or through the oversized sliding glass doors in the dining room. The kitchen is built for both cooking and gathering, featuring a five-burner gas cooktop on a thick granite island, stainless steel wall oven and built-in microwave, and a side-by-side refrigerator—all included in the sale. From the double sink, two picture windows let you watch the mountains (and your visitors from the woods) while you prep meals or sip your morning coffee. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, reading nook, and plenty of space for a king bed and additional furniture. The attached five-piece bath includes a jetted tub, walk-in shower with custom tile and glass door, a private water closet, and a spacious walk-in closet just off the dual vanities. The custom log staircase is a work of art—hand-hewn, half-round logs with iron railings add both safety and style without disrupting the open feel. At the top, a spacious loft offers a flexible sleeping and entertainment space, with floor-to-ceiling windows that mirror those below. The log futons here are included with the home. Two more bedrooms are upstairs: one outfitted with two sets of log bunk beds (also included), and the other large enough for a king bed and oversized furniture. A well-designed Jack and Jill bath connects both rooms and the loft while still providing privacy. Additional storage is smartly tucked into the eaves for those less-used items. Back on the main level, the laundry room offers storage, a utility sink, and includes both washer and dryer. The attached two-car garage provides room for gear and toys, and houses the efficient in-floor heating system, with multiple zones for year-round comfort. Automatic openers and even a beer fridge are included. This is the kind of home that invites connection—whether it's a quiet night under the stars or hosting friends for dinner. A place to gather, relax, and build lasting memories in the mountains. It’s more than a beautiful log home—it’s your Colorado lifestyle, waiting to begin.
