About This Home
If your idea of getting away is a crowded campground, keep scrolling. If you'd rather have 30 acres of your own Colorado high country with Fourmile Creek winding through it, this is the kind of place that rarely changes hands. Tucked among the trees near the end of a seasonal road, this classic off grid log cabin is simple, comfortable and exactly what it should be. Solar provides electricity, spring fed seasonal water serves the cabin, and a wood stove and wood burning furnace keep things warm when the mountain air turns crisp. The loft sleeping area, wood fed furnace, and charming rustic interior are a reminder that this property isn't about luxury, it's about freedom. Spend your days fishing for brook trout in Fourmile Creek, wandering the historic railroad grade, hiking nearby Pike National Forest or BLM land, or simply watch moose, elk, mule deer, mountain goats and other wildlife pass through. If hiking is your thing, you are only half a mile from the Leavick trail head of Mount Sherman, one of the friendlier 14'ers in Colorado. Beaver ponds, columbine, towering spruce and aspen, and sweeping views of Sheep Mountain and Lamb Mountain create a setting that feels a world away from the everyday. On clear nights the stars put on a show, and if you're lucky, even the northern lights have been known to make an appearance. Whether you're looking for a seasonal base camp, fishing cabin or a place where the biggest decision of the day is whether to grab your fly rod or your hiking boots, this property delivers. Why fight for a campsite every summer when you can own your own mountain escape? Conservation Easement in place helps preserve the natural beauty and wildlife habitat that make this valley so special while protecting it for generations to come. Practical note, if you are of a mind to add a bathroom there is a septic tank and leach field installed, water from kitchen sink already connected to it. All furnishings are included as are the contents of the workshop.
