Pinkham Mountain Retreat spans approximately 189 deeded acres at 9,000 feet elevation on Pinkham Mountain, bordering over 27,000 acres of Routt National Forest. This high-country property offers direct access to public lands, year-round recreation, and established infrastructure suitable for personal use or commercial operation. Located about 35 minutes from Walden, Colorado, with convenient fly-in access via Walden’s 5,900-foot asphalt airstrip, the property balances privacy with practical accessibility. Seasonal drive-in access is available from June through December, with winter access by snowmobile or on foot. The centerpiece is a custom 7,050 square foot mountain lodge featuring seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, designed with an open-concept great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling natural stone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen includes a gas range, double ovens, dual dishwashers, and dual refrigerators, complemented by a large dining area and wet bar, while rustic details like log beams, wood floors, and custom cabinetry maintain a classic mountain feel. Covered front and back porches provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The land includes a private 2.5 acre spring-fed lake stocked with brown and rainbow trout, with nearby access to the North Platte River’s Gold Medal fishing waters. Located in GMU 6, the property supports elk, mule deer, and moose, with over-the-counter elk tags available to residents during the 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons. Expansive meadows and trail systems support ATV riding, horseback exploration, and backcountry access directly from the property line. Additional value includes approximately $3,500 in annual income from a WYDOT communication tower lease and ownership of 10 patented mining claims. With well-developed lodge facilities, direct National Forest access, and proven wildlife habitat, Pinkham Mountain Retreat is positioned as a hunting lodge, corporate retreat, or family legacy property in one of northern Colorado’s most scenic and recreation-rich regions.
