Step into a living piece of American history. This one-of-a-kind mountain retreat was crafted from the massive hand-hewn logs of two pre-Civil War cabins, originally from Mississippi and Tennessee. Carefully disassembled, transported, and rebuilt in 2001 in the heart of the Rockies, it offers an extraordinary fusion of frontier craftsmanship and modern comfort- expanded by a thoughtfully added loft that brings the usable square footage to approximately 365 sq ft more than recorded.
In addition to the historic logs, the tin panels on the primary bedroom ceiling are from an old drugstore in Como, MS. The wide plank flooring in the primary bedroom came from a Sears warehouse in Memphis,TN.
Designed with families and groups in mind, the cabin comfortably accommodates 10–12 guests, offering warm gathering spaces as well as privacy when desired. The cabin is fully furnished, blending modern comfort with authentic Western charm & character, including a vintage stereo & vinyl collection and plenty of games & books to choose from. Three fireplaces throughout the home offer warmth and ambiance. The kitchen is fully stocked & equipped with two dishwashers, making it easy to host & clean up after large groups.
The Middle Fork of the South Platte River runs through the 5 acre lot, with natural topography ensuring privacy. Take a stroll down the trail to a cozy riverside deck, ideal for peaceful reflection or fly fishing right on the water.
The salt water hot tub has stunning views of Mount Democrat and Mount Bross, plus a front-row seat to an incredible display of shooting stars on clear nights.
Outdoor adventure abounds with hiking, off-roading, fishing, biking, and skiing nearby. Just minutes from the funky, eclectic town of Alma and only a scenic drive over Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge.
This is a legacy property that captures the spirit of the mountains- timeless, rare, and ready to welcome its next chapter.
