Property Description
Escape the noise and rediscover the rhythm of nature at 428 Rustic Road, an extraordinary riverside retreat nestled in the heart of the Upper Poudre Canyon. Tucked away on a quiet private road within the Roosevelt National Forest, this property offers a level of serenity that is increasingly rare. Inside, the main residence breathes with character. Artisanal finishes, including live-edge wood moldings and natural trim, create a seamless connection to the outdoors. The heart of the home is a cozy living area anchored by a wood-burning stove perfect for snowy Colorado evenings. A spacious four-seasons room adjoins the well-appointed kitchen and dining area, offering a sun-drenched space to watch local wildlife roam the lot and your slice of the river. The primary suite serves as a private haven with your own ensuite bathroom boasting dual vanities, large walk-in shower and oversized closet. The main house includes two other bedrooms giving space to spread out. The magic extends across the grounds to a charming, detached guest cabin. Separated from the main house by the sounds of the private mineral brook, this auxiliary dwelling studio features its own full bath and kitchenette. Whether used as a long-term rental, an artist's studio, or a private suite for family, it provides a quiet space for guests to find their own sense of peace. The lifestyle here is defined by your immediate access to the wild. You can experience true stillness on the back deck, where a hot tub awaits under some of the clearest stargazing skies in Northern Colorado, or enjoy the front porch overlooking a landscape painted with seasonal wildflowers and towering pines. All the while you are just steps away from world-class fishing on the Cache La Poudre River and the modern amenities Glen Echo has to offer. You also remain conveniently connected, located only an hour from Fort Collins. Embrace the stillness of the canyon and secure your legacy in this rare, high-country retreat.
