Struska Real Estate

Just 30 minutes outside Woodland Park and 90 minutes from Breckenridge stands this stately log home retreat. It is perfectly perched on a hillside to provide jaw-dropping views through window walls on all 3 levels that blur the lines between indoors and nature. This Rocky Mountain estate includes TWO LOTS totaling 12.5 acres to ensure these views remain impressive. The newly rebuilt wrap-around composite deck with log posts & railing and the matching flagstone patio aside the walk-out basement will beg you to enjoy panoramic views of the Northeast face of Pikes Peak and the surrounding, forest-covered valleys that are spread below. The home itself impresses with custom solid-wood entry & cabinet doors featuring Southwest inspired patinated copper insets and hardware. Other luxury finishes include stone flooring, 2-story log-beamed ceilings, clerestory upper level windows between a tiered metal roof, and so many panoramic new windows you won't know where to look first. All 3 fireplaces are adorned with stone surrounds, including a gas fireplace in the master retreat & family room and a wood-burner in the living room, stoked from the natural resources on the 12.5 acres you can own and manage. One of the 5 bedrooms is a lofted master suite that encompasses the entire upper level, with its own ensuite spa bath featuring a cultured stone 2-sided gas fireplace, mosaic step-in shower, and two-person jetted tub. The views out the window wall from the sitting area in the loft can be the last thing you see at night and the first thing you enjoy in the morning. There's 5 bedrooms, showers on each of the 3 levels, a two-car attached garage to keep cars, tools, and toys out of the weather, a level paved parking pad that is a rarity in the hills, Pike National Forest with hunting, fishing, off-roading, and hiking about a mile away, and if you like the furnishings you see, let's talk. Visit today and you can own this luxury estate for years to come.

Funny story:
I use smart, bluetooth-enabled lockboxes on my client's listings for their own security. It's the best way I can ensure that every agent who shows their home is logged every time they open and close the lockbox with the key in it. One such agent was struggling to get the app & lockbox to work on one of my listings. Both manual (combination) and smart lockboxes can have issues at times, so it's a normal part of our jobs.

She scolded me for not having combination access to the home, which again, I understand the frustration, and I want them to get into my seller's home for the showing. The funny part was her reasoning: "You need a backup for days like today when the wind is blowing away the Bluetooth."

Not kidding, it actually happened, and it was within the past two years.

Homesteader I am working for,
"Weird question: somehow I have too many eggs from my chickens right now. Would you like some?"

Me,
"Farm fresh eggs? Absolutely."

I love all the natural different shades and sizes. And small-farm eggs always seem to taste so much better. Definitely going to put 3 of these in my breakfast burrito tomorrow morning.
