Colorado log cabin vacation home

In Breckenridge the cost for existing homes on the market is well above that, many are over $800/sq-ft.

I’ve been seeing prices in the $400-450/sqft range where we’ve been looking. That’s high enough. We don’t plan on building. Just prefer to find an existing home. We also don’t plan on renting via VRBO. The homes we’ve seen that are VRBO homes are just utterly worn out, beat up, and just basically destroyed. I don’t think we will do that. Yes, I know, we are foregoing a lot of rental income. For us, this home is not an investment. It’s a treat.

At least in our area and probably others due to the winter snow most of the construction takes place only during the summer. So building could easily take 2 years or longer.
