From its elevated setting on Piburn Flats in Crawford, this 10±-acre retreat frames expansive views of Needlerock, Saddle Mountain, and the Smith Fork Wilderness. The contemporary residence offers a warm, livable scale with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace at the center of daily life. In the kitchen, hardwood floors add natural character, while the bathrooms are finished in tile. Beyond the main house, a detached 30-by-40 (approx.) garage/shop with loft is both insulated and heated by a woodstove—equal parts workspace and winter refuge. A separate studio/bungalow includes a kitchen and bath plus its own garage, with the note that it would need a full gut and remodel, though “the bones are there.” With a shared spring for domestic use, 14 shares of Saddle Mountain Ditch, and a private back deck edged by fruit trees, the outdoors becomes part of the rhythm—apples included, bears and deer alike.

Within a gated Loveland neighborhood with a swimming pool and play area, this ranch-style home balances warmth, character, and careful detailing.

The gourmet kitchen pairs granite countertops and tile flooring with double ovens, a gas range, and a center island with two seats, while the expanded nook adds a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Outdoor living takes center stage on the deck, with an outdoor kitchen/grill island, gas firepit seating, a wood-burning fireplace, and additional lounge space. Downstairs, a finished, industrial-inspired basement offers an open media area, workout space, bedroom suite, soaking tub, laundry, and generous storage for easy everyday living.

The remodeled kitchen anchors the main level with Corian countertops, new cabinetry, and upgraded stainless steel appliances, complemented by an adjoining large laundry and a walk-in pantry. The main-level owner’s suite feels quietly indulgent, featuring an electric wall fireplace, a barn-door entry, a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and a generous walk-in closet. Upstairs, iron banisters frame a lofted family room, and the upper bath has been remodeled. RV parking, a paved driveway, and a recently stucco’d exterior round out a low-maintenance, move-in-ready lifestyle.
