Property Description
Welcome to Frog Creek Lodge, a one-of-a-kind 6,354-sq-ft custom mountain estate perched near the highest point of 13.98 unrestricted acres. Enjoy exceptional privacy and mountain views from multiple directions throughout much of the home, including a ridge protected by a conservation easement. No HOA or deed restrictions.
Distinctive poplar bark siding and stone exterior introduce craftsmanship rarely found today: 10 species of wood harvested from the property, hand-hewn timbers, natural stone, wrought-iron railings, a striking tree-trunk support, and custom cabinetry throughout. The land itself is woven into the character of this remarkable home.
The main level features soaring ceilings and open living, dining, and kitchen areas with expansive windows and double sliding doors opening to approximately 1,195 sq ft of cedar decking. Imagine morning coffee overlooking the ridges or gathering with friends as the sun sets over the mountains. The kitchen offers custom soft-close cabinetry, pull-out shelves, and an exceptionally large walk-in pantry. The primary suite enjoys mountain views in TWO directions, a large custom shower, and an expansive walk-in closet with space for an office area. A guest bedroom, full bath, custom pantry with built-in shelving and cabinetry, laundry room, and attached 675-sq-ft two-car garage complete the main level.
Upstairs, two oversized guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, spacious entertaining loft, and kitchenette give guests room to spread out. Mountain views from the loft make this an inviting place to linger over coffee, read, or simply take in the scenery.
The approximately 2,100-sq-ft lower level features 9-ft ceilings, a custom bar, gas stove/fireplace, separate full kitchen, office, gym, and an expansive open area for games, TV, and conversation. Double sliding doors open to the patio, allowing gatherings to flow effortlessly outdoors. A mechanical room provides access to the home's systems, while a separate safe room adds peace of mind.
Outside is an escape all its own, with expansive cedar decks and covered patio areas, an open stamped-concrete patio, multiple firepit gathering spots, a 7-person hot tub, and hard-plumbed propane connections for a grill and griddle. From quiet mornings wrapped in mountain mist to evenings around the fire, there's a place for every season and occasion. Grounds include paved parking, a substantial stone retaining wall, thoughtfully selected landscaping, a fenced front yard, and sprinkler system.
Features include radiant floor heat on the main and lower levels, recirculating hot water, central vacuum, phone-controlled thermostats, security system, and a 22-kW whole-house generator with its own buried 1,000-gallon propane tank; a separate buried 500-gallon tank serves the home. Two wells and private septic. A detached 50x20 building includes a 36x20 enclosed garage and 14x20 carport enclosed on three sides. Also includes an 8x8 range outbuilding, private pistol shooting range, and 50-amp RV hookup with water (no sewer connection).
This setting, this craftsmanship, and the experience of living at the Frog Creek Lodge cannot be replicated. Offering the freedom of unrestricted acreage, protected mountain scenery, and extraordinary spaces to welcome the people who matter most. This is not simply a place to visit on weekends or admire in photographs. It's the kind of place you spend years searching for—and may never find again.
