13891 Quaking Aspen Lane

Set on 2.82 private acres backing to Pike National Forest, this custom Grizzly Peak log home offers unobstructed Pikes Peak views and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship. Local builder McGraff Construction created it from hand-hewn Swedish Cope Tamarak logs, with a refinished exterior and a metal roof. Inside, soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, skylights, and hand-troweled walls frame a light-filled great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and Vermont Castings wood stove. The gourmet kitchen features a Dacor six-burner propane range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, commercial-grade hood, and a large island with custom hickory cabinetry. The main-level primary retreat has his-and-hers closets and an adjoining bath. Downstairs, a walk-out family room with a second stone fireplace opens to the trees, with three more bedrooms. The high mountain setting keeps the home naturally cool all summer, no air conditioning needed. A three-car oversized garage completes the home. Gated community, 45 minutes to Denver. 4WD recommended.
