Farm Description

Secluded mountain retreat within a gated community, featuring a ridge-top cabin, diverse timber, and abundant wildlife habitat. With a spring-fed pond, year-round creek, and a well-balanced mix of forest and open ground, this property offers both scenic beauty and recreational opportunity-ideal for a private getaway or year-round mountain living.

Land

This 70 acre property features incredibly diverse terrain and cover. A well-managed stand of ponderosa pines surrounds the ridge-top cabin, with a healthy balance of old-growth and younger age class trees that creates a beautiful, park-like setting. To the north of the cabin, the landscape gradually transitions from ponderosa into a mixed stand of spruce and fir, along with an aspen grove that encircles a year-round, spring-fed pond. Heading south from the cabin, a well-maintained trail leads down to approximately a quarter mile of Trail Creek flowing through the property. The creek supports a healthy population of brook trout and serves as a natural draw for a wide variety of wildlife. Over the years, the property has been home to an abundance of species, including elk, moose, mule deer, black bears, bobcats, and the occasional mountain lion-making it an exceptional retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoorsmen alike.

Improvements

Sitting within a stand of mature ponderosa pines, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin offers a true mountain retreat feel. On one of the higher points of the property, it provides both privacy and incredible views. Inside, you'll find a full kitchen, baseboard heat, and a large woodstove with a rugged stone surround. Windows throughout the cabin allow ample amounts of sunlight for incredible natural lighting throughout the day. Sliding glass doors off the living room open to a back porch with great views of the Mummy Range. Just steps away, a flagstone patio with a firepit is the perfect place to watch the sunset. Across the drive sit two solid, well-built storage sheds, ready for your Atv, tools, and all the gear that comes with mountain living. Enjoy the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience in this well-equipped cabin, featuring grid-tied rooftop solar panels, a well, and a septic system. The property is offered fully furnished for a turnkey experience, with only a few select decorative items excluded.
