Perched on a private knoll above Ruedi Reservoir, this beautifully updated log home offers unobstructed reservoir and mountain views, abundant southern light and year-round outdoor access. The warm, open interior showcases full-length, locally felled fir and spruce logs, antique chestnut flooring, wood ceilings and beams, and a wood-burning stove. The redesigned kitchen features Taj Mahal countertops, a farmhouse sink, custom tile backsplash, expanded storage and a slide-out pantry. Both bathrooms include travertine finishes and radiant in-floor heat. Metal-clad Pella windows and 8-foot sliding doors frame the views and open to a rebuilt deck, lower patio and hot tub. A custom 12-by-16-foot shed provides generous storage. Set on 1.11 acres in peaceful Ruedi Shores, with community water, maintained roads and nearby hiking, fishing, boating and cross-country skiing--a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship and convenient access to Basalt and Aspen.

The best of both worlds...feeling remote and private yet part of an established neighborhood. Perched on a knoll overlooking Ruedi reservoir with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, it is rare to find such a ''right sized'' home at an accessible price. Beautifully maintained and updated by the current owners, it is cozy, rustic, stylish and contemporary. Extensive improvements include new kitchen and bathrooms with in floor heating. There is nothing to beat enjoying a soak in the hot tub on the lower patio! The large shed provides plenty of storage and there is a lot of flat land behind the house where a garage could be added if desired.
