About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to your private retreat on the Rio Grande River—just 7 miles above South Fork, Colorado. This fully renovated, high-end cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern luxury, all perched on a gentle riverbank with easy access to the water. With 2.5 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, there’s room for everyone—whether you're planning to host family, friends, or future vacation rental guests. Step inside to find a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring high-end cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an apron-style farmhouse sink, and a convenient pull-out pantry. The kitchen window frames a jaw-dropping view of the locally renowned Palisades cliffs—a stunning natural backdrop that turns even dish duty into a pleasure. The spacious primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, with room for a king-sized bed, a cozy sitting area, and private access to a fenced luxury dog run. You’ll love the spa-like en suite bathroom, complete with a copper Japanese soaking tub—a peaceful spot to unwind after a day of mountain adventures. Upstairs, you’ll find a sleeping loft (yes—it even has a window and a closet!), and a second large guest bedroom that easily accommodates another king-sized bed. A shared full bath upstairs serves both sleeping areas. Outside, three distinct porches create multiple spaces to relax and entertain. Greet guests at the welcoming front porch, sip coffee from the private porch off the primary suite while your pup plays safely nearby, or host unforgettable evenings on the cobblestone patio and covered deck overlooking the river. This stretch of riverbank is gently sloped, making access to the water easy for fishing, floating, or simply dipping your toes. Across the river behind the home, a dramatic cliff face rises high above, creating a gorgeous natural wall of privacy—nothing can ever be built in your view. It's a show-stopping backdrop for gatherings and celebrations, offering an unmatched sense of place and seclusion. The yard has been lovingly landscaped, with thoughtfully planned flower beds overflowing with perennials. From early spring through late fall, the property bursts with riotous color. A sprinkler system makes it all easy and maintenance-free. Whether you're looking for a peaceful full-time home, a part-time mountain escape, or an income-producing vacation rental (yes—short-term rentals are allowed, and this home has been successfully used as one in the past), this property checks all the boxes. With in-floor radiant heat, a new roof, new windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, upgraded lighting, new flooring, a brand new septic system, and a new well—every detail has been thoughtfully updated. This home is move-in ready and built to impress. (A full list of upgrades and improvements is available. Just steps from the Coller State Wildlife Area, you'll have access to all the Rio Grande National Forest has to offer. This home also features a 30-amp RV plug and a water spigot outside the garage — perfect for guests who prefer to bring their own accommodations. For storage and function, you'll appreciate the detached two-car garage and a handy garden shed. Schedule your showing today and come experience riverfront mountain living at its finest.
