Property Description
Embrace authentic mountain living at 428 Rustic Road, an extraordinary riverfront retreat nestled in the heart of the Upper Poudre Canyon within the Roosevelt National Forest.

Artisanal live-edge wood moldings, natural trim, and a cozy wood-burning stove anchor the primary living space, while a sun-drenched four-seasons room adjoins the kitchen and dining area to offer views of local wildlife. The main home features a primary suite with dual vanities, an oversized closet, and a walk-in shower, alongside two additional bedrooms and a newly added shower in the guest bathroom. Mechanical upgrades include a brand-new water heater installed in June 2026.The magic extends into your backyard where you can enjoy world-class fishing along the Cache La Poudre River. Also, across your private walking bridge, with a soothing mineral brook, sits a versatile detached studio equipped with its own full bath and kitchenette. This dynamic bonus area offers endless potential as a high-country home office, private art studio, workshop, or additional flex space to extend your living area. Unwind on the back deck in the hot tub under Northern Colorado's pristine stargazing skies, or relax on the front porch surrounded by seasonal wildflowers and towering pines. Combining high-country tranquility, modern updates, and premier river access, this exceptional mountain estate delivers a true Colorado lifestyle retreat you can't find anywhere else.
