Set on 9 private acres at the end of the road and bordering National Forest, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Colorado mountain retreat with direct access to thousands of acres of public land. Step out your back door into protected wilderness, where elk migrate through seasonally and the night skies are exceptionally dark and star-filled, creating a setting that feels both expansive and peaceful.The move-in ready 3-bedroom home features a finished basement for additional living space and has been thoughtfully updated with new windows, new appliances, and fresh carpet and interior paint throughout. A hot tub is ideally positioned to take in the surrounding landscape and quiet mountain setting.The property offers both privacy and functionality, with a detached shop equipped with dedicated 100-amp service, ideal for a workshop, studio, or equipment storage, along with a second shed for added flexibility. Located just minutes from The Monastery, one of Colorado's premier sport climbing destinations, and within convenient reach of the Big Thompson River, Glen Haven, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Loveland, the home balances seclusion with accessibility.Combining end-of-road privacy, National Forest borders, usable acreage, and a turnkey home, this is a distinctive mountain property that is increasingly difficult to find.
