Welcome to the Riverside Lodge - a truly unique property that has offered peace and tranquility for over a century. Step into the sunlit two-story foyer, where the sounds of the river and the gentle breeze through the aspen trees greet you. This remarkable home has been a beloved vacation destination for generations, and now it's ready for you to make it your own.The main level features an expansive and airy great room, a raised primary suite, and two additional private and spacious bedrooms. The lower (walkout) level preserves historic charm with original features and offers an optional second kitchen or entertainment suite.Situated among stunning rocky outcroppings in Roosevelt National Forest, this 4,500+ sq. ft. home blends classic Colorado character with modern amenities. With 2 kitchens, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and abundant flex space, this property has endless potential. Featuring original and new hardwood floors, updated kitchens, passive solar heating, and much more, the property can function seamlessly as a large family home or be divided for rental opportunities, thanks to separate entrances and lock-off capabilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a historic gem in a prime location, just 9 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park's Wild Basin entrance and a short drive to Eldora Ski Resort. The nearby Gold Medal trout fishing and local music festivals offer a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. BONUS: Unlike many historic properties in the area, this property has recently received approvals from Boulder County which will make the new owners ELIGIBLE to apply for a variety of permits, including short-term rentals. With a Legal Building Lot designation and a Subdivision Exemption, you'll have the flexibility to enhance or preserve this property as you see fit. The New Year is bringing renewed interest and the sellers are eager to get this treasured historic lodge into the hands of its new owner
