12000 GCR 3

This is what true mountain ownership feels like -- 35 acres, a beautifully built 4,200-square-foot log home, and privacy that is increasingly rare this close to Summit and Grand County.

Set along County Road 3 in the ranchlands between Summit and Grand, the property opens to meadow, forested edges, and uninterrupted Colorado sky. Morning light pours into the great room and primary suite as wildlife moves quietly across the landscape. Evenings settle into calm, open silence -- the kind that makes the mountains feel personal again.

Thoughtfully designed and custom built by its original and only owner, the home reflects care, intention, and long-term vision. The great room rises to 32-foot ceilings, anchored by a striking wood-burning fireplace that brings warmth and presence... to the space. Timber beams, natural stone, and large windows connect the interior to the surrounding land, creating a feeling that is both grounded and grand.

The home is generous in scale and layout. Each of the 4 bedrooms includes its own bathroom, offering privacy and comfort while maintaining connection through shared gathering spaces. The primary suite features its own gas fireplace, creating a quiet retreat within the home and forming a subtle double-fireplace experience between the living room and bedroom.

Built for year-round living, the property includes radiant heat, including the garage, snowmelt systems, solar, buried utilities, and infrastructure already in place for generator installation. It is solid, practical, and well-considered in every season.

Outside, the 35 acres invite exploration: hiking through aspens, skiing nearby resorts, watching elk move across the meadow, or simply sitting on the deck as sunrise moves across the valley. Though it feels private and removed, you are just 25 minutes from the recreation, dining, and skiing of both Summit and Grand County.

The property currently carries agricultural status through a local grazing agreement, keeping annual property taxes notably low - a meaningful advantage for long-term ownership of acreage in this region.

This is more than a mountain home. It is land, privacy, and a place built with intention & ready for the next chapter of ownership.
