Custom Log Home in Historic St. Elmo

Tucked among towering pines, golden aspens, and dramatic rock outcroppings, this custom-built log home in historic St. Elmo blends mountain charm with modern comfort. Crafted by a local builder using energy-efficient ICF forms and highly insulated SIP panels, the home is designed to keep you warm and comfortable year-round.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the inviting balcony while watching moose and other wildlife near Lake Lillian. Inside, soaring ceilings, massive log beams, and an oversized wood-burning fireplace create a cozy mountain retreat. Natural light pours through Pella double-pane windows, highlighting the open living space and custom kitchen with island and stainless appliances.

Upstairs, two lofts overlook the main living area, providing versatile spaces for work or play. The primary suite offers a stargazer’s window and a spa-like bath with antique soaking tub. Each of the three bathrooms features in-floor radiant heat. The partially finished walkout basement—with full Pella windows and multiple rooms—can easily be transformed into an additional suite, family room, or guest retreat.

Unique to this property, you’ll have legal access from the driveway to local roads for ATV and snowmobile use—no trailering required. With year-round county-maintained road access, a historic mill remnant on-site, and a short stroll to one of Colorado’s most preserved ghost towns, this home is truly a rare opportunity..
