About 1681 Valley Ranch Drive

Situated within the prestigious Valley Ranch Estates, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind log home on 2 parcels totaling 40 acres of serene mountain landscape. Spanning an impressive 4,681 square feet, this hand-hewn log cabin was meticulously designed and constructed with unmatched craftsmanship and attention to detail. The home's story is as remarkable as its presence. The original builder, both an architect and contractor, collaborated with a Canadian log supplier to source the massive solid wood logs and construct both the 2,900 sq. ft. garage/workshop—complete with a half-bath featuring a sink and toilet—and the main residence. Each structure was initially built in Canada, carefully disassembled, and then shipped and reassembled onsite—making this property unlike anything else. The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, with the primary suite featuring walk-in his and her closets. Designed to maximize natural light and the surrounding landscape, the home offers spectacular views from nearly every angle. Three wood-burning fireplaces anchor the gathering spaces, while each bedroom was designed with its own wood stove. Radiant heating, central heat, HVAC, a geothermal loop, and a wood boiler are already in place but await completion—providing a strong foundation for the finishing work. A partially installed hardwood floor is ready for the next owner to carry out the original vision. The home was designed with a durable metal roof prepared for skylights, as well as an integrated fire suppression system with rooftop sprinklers. An artesian well is already drilled, awaiting connection to the residence, and septic is installed. A generator is also included, providing reliable backup power. Though unfinished, the property radiates promise—standing as both an architectural marvel and a builder's dream project. With the right touch, this estate can be transformed into the luxurious mountain lodge it was always meant to be.
