Two Story Log Home with Mountain Views Adjoining BLM

Log Home on Acreage Adjoining BLM Public Land Two-story log home on 16+ acres adjoining BLM land, with expansive views of the Colorado River Valley, the town of Rifle and mountains beyond. Decks on all sides create multiple outdoor living areas for enjoying the setting, plus a pad and connection for a hot tub. Inside, the living room features a dramatic 20-foot-high vaulted area with floor-to-ceiling windows. Updates in 2005 included a new metal roof and slate flooring. An owned 16,875-watt solar panel system is included. The home buyer may purchase the tractor, equipment and some furniture separately. An attached 3-car garage, large paved parking area and concrete RV pad provide plenty of room for vehicles, RVs and equipment. The 40x42 detached office/shop/storage building formerly housed a guide and outfitting service and is currently home to Ink & Thread Embroidery. The business may be available as a separate purchase; contact Broker for details. The 16.83 acres offer much more than just elbow room, with a spring-fed pond, yard sprinkler system, fenced yard, separate corral with loafing shed, 14x24 greenhouse, chicken area and plenty of open space. One of the property's standout features is direct access to adjoining BLM land, opening the door to miles of trails and thousands of acres of public land for hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting and ATV recreation. This is a property you'll want extra time to explore, from the log home and panoramic decks to the shop, pond, acreage and public-land access.
