The buyer chooses finishes. * * * And now for the story -- It all began with a question. One evening, as the sun dipped low, my daughter asked, “Do trees get sad when they can’t see the mountains?” That simple, beautiful thought wouldn’t leave me. Four months later, our car was packed, heading west toward Colorado. And then—we found it. Or maybe, it found us. A patch of land tucked into the mountainside, perfectly placed between Colorado Springs and Woodland Park. Pines whispering in the wind. A stream dancing just feet from the doorstep. An elementary school across the road. Stars brighter than any city light could ever hope to be. We had a log home built by hand—real timber beams, a hearth of stone, and a crackling wood-burning stove that could warm your soul. It was everything I’d ever imagined, perhaps better because it was ours. I got to choose the finishes—every tile, every grain of wood, the beautiful stone countertops. This wasn’t just a house. It was a heart with walls. My daughter took the room with the round window overlooking the creek. Every morning she races outside to see what the woods have whispered overnight—maybe bunny tracks, maybe a new bird, maybe just stillness--true peace. The community welcomed us like old friends. It felt like everyone here had stumbled upon the same secret—a hidden haven where the mountain meets your spirit. And when people ask what it’s like living here, I smile and say: “The mountain found us when we needed it most. And we stayed.”
