About This Lot

A True Colorado Hideaway – Cabin, Creek & Classic Charm - If you’ve been dreaming of a little cabin in the woods with a rushing mountain stream out your front door, this is it. Tucked away in the heart of Highland Village, this rare 1⁄2-acre lot is the site of a 360-square-foot rustic cabin built in 1958—an authentic mountain retreat that feels like stepping back in time. Affectionately named “Eagle’s Nest” by the family who built it, this unique cabin is perched just steps from a rushing creek and surrounded by towering pines, wildflowers, and abundant wildlife. The property sits within the national forest, near the Continental Divide, offering direct access to endless hiking, backcountry exploring, and only a short hop to world-class skiing. Though currently undeveloped, this backcountry gem offers incredible potential. Any future improvements will require a special use permit from Clear Creek County, as well as approval for an on-site wastewater system (OWTS), and both excavation and driveway permits prior to building. Whether you preserve the vintage charm or envision something new, this is your chance to own a rare piece of Colorado paradise. Just under 3 miles from I-70 and a quick drive to Denver—but once you arrive, you’ll feel a thousand miles away from nowhere. Don’t miss this classic mountain escape. The creek and mountains are calling.
