Escape to 38.5 acres of Colorado countryside just moments from Carter Lake, where wide-open space, privacy and endless possibilities come together. Set among rolling acreage with its own picturesque kettle pond, this unique Berthoud property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a true rural lifestyle while remaining within reach of Northern Colorado amenities. The log home is full of character, with warm wood finishes, a stone fireplace, expansive windows and inviting outdoor spaces that take advantage of the peaceful setting. With approximately 3,390 finished square feet, the home offers 3 bedrooms, multiple living areas and a finished walkout basement with a newly added ¾ bath, providing flexibility for recreation, guests or a home gym. The flexible layout also creates opportunities for multigenerational living, with separate areas for both connection and privacy under one roof. Above the attached garage, a separate study, office or loft-style bonus space creates an ideal retreat for working from home, hobbies or additional flex space. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. Nearly 40 acres provide room to spread out, explore and make the land your own. A substantial detached outbuilding offers an enclosed workshop/garage bay along with additional covered equipment and storage space. Whether your vision includes horses, livestock, dirt bikes, a workshop, outdoor recreation or simply room between you and your neighbors, this property gives you space to create the lifestyle you’ve been looking for. And for those who love the water, Carter Lake is practically in your backyard, putting boating, fishing, camping, hiking and miles of Colorado recreation within easy reach. Private, versatile and surrounded by the natural beauty of Northern Colorado, this is more than a home; it’s an opportunity to own acreage, embrace the outdoors & create something entirely your own. **PER THE COUNTY, AN ADU/ALA CAN BE BUILT; CONTACT THE LISTING AGENT FOR DETAILS**
