Forest-Backed Crestline Retreat with Secret Room & Artistic Touches! Tucked against a private, protected forest, this distinctive Crestline home offers space, serenity, and surprises at every turn. Beyond the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, discover a hidden 500-sq-ft bonus room—complete with built-in sleeping bunks, lounge area, and a secret walk-out to the yard. Perfect as a game room, wine lounge, or future home theater, it’s a true hidden gem. Expansive windows frame the surrounding forest, while a bay window seat beside the dramatic rock fireplace invites you to cozy up and watch the snow fall. Just a few decorative steps separate the living space from the bedroom wing, where two rooms open directly to a private deck, and the sun-drenched primary suite offers peaceful wooded views. Outside, a custom rock patio and entertaining terrace with built-in seating and electrical overlook a stretch of untouched forest. The property’s sculpted tree trunk, transformed into an intricate wildlife carving, celebrates its National Forest setting. With a coveted 2-car attached garage, generous parking for 4+ cars or an RV, and numerous upgrades—including a Kohler whole-house generator (2021) and long-lasting Speed Queen washer and dryer—this home blends mountain character with everyday comfort. Escape the ordinary and live where the forest meets fine bespoke design combined with a rare lifestyle. You'll be glad you did.
