Embrace Rustic Luxury In Expansive Colorado Retreat

Twenty-six point seventy-nine Acres of Colorado Serenity – Deer often greet you right at the drive of this twenty-six point seventy-nine-acre parcel of level land, featuring aspen forest, productive dryland hay fields, and abundant water, including a spring-fed pond with water rights for stockwater, recreation, and wildlife. It is the perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty, rare to find so close to Steamboat Springs for this price. The original rustic five hundred forty square foot cabin was hand-built by the current owner with log and rough-sawn beams, then later expanded to one thousand five hundred six square feet (per appraisal measure) adding a main-level bedroom. The owner still cooks on an antique wood stove, hangs her laundry to dry, and manages several gardens for summer vegetables and flowers. The cabin is one bedroom with a loft for more living space and a huge outdoor deck for mountain views. There are two seasonal creeks, a quality well, and a new septic system (2017). The seller hopes whoever takes on this special place will honor its history rather than erase it since years of memories and hard work went into every log managed forests and meadows. The property also includes a second rustic cabin, a fenced corral, an arena, and a small lean-to barn/loafing shed. Advantageous topography and soil produce dryland hay fields that are productive year after year. Location is unbeatable: two point five miles to Stagecoach Marina for boating, nine miles to Oak Creek’s restaurants, ten miles (about fifteen minutes) to Haymaker Golf Course, and under thirteen miles (about eighteen minutes) to Steamboat Ski Resort and downtown shopping and dining. This property must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Live rustic or expand to make it your own; either way it is a rare chance to own an authentic Colorado cabin in the woods just minutes from Steamboat Springs.
