Off grid 2 bedroom fully furnished cabin on a 5+ acre inholding bordering National Forest. Seller pulled the property off the market to use for the summer, and now is ready to sell. Located at 9500' elevation amongst the deer, elk, and turkey, this is truly one of the most unique properties you'll find on the market today. It's located less than 5 miles up Middle Mountain Road above Vallecito Lake. Winter access is snowmobile only. The spring fed creek runs all summer and is a huge attractant for the local wildlife. No HOA/No Covenants. Taxes are less than $1,200 a year. Exceptional recreational opportunities are right out the door including both lake and stream fishing, hiking, backpacking, cross country skiing, and fabulous big game hunting for elk, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and mule deer. The Weminuche Wilderness, the largest wilderness area in Colorado at 499,771 acres, has multiple trailheads located just down the road. The cabin was built in 1995 from logs that were harvested from Yellowstone National Park. This is held by the original owners and this property has never been on the market. If you want to sit on the porch and hear a babbling brook, birds chirping, and not see or hear a neighbor, then this is the property for you.
