Enjoy cooler summers, crisp mountain evenings, beautiful views, and year-round access from a county-maintained road. Just minutes from San Isabel National Forest, hiking, fishing, camping, ATV trails, horseback riding, and snowshoeing are within easy reach. Natural wood walls, ceilings, and floors create a warm Colorado cabin atmosphere. The kitchen features a GE stainless-steel gas range, refrigerator, reverse-osmosis drinking-water system, and an open connection to the living and dining area. Both full bathrooms have updated toilets, vanities, and tub or shower surrounds. The secondary bedroom is near the guest bathroom, while the spacious primary bedroom connects to the primary bathroom and laundry area and opens to a private deck. Ceiling fans, modern lighting, and updated interior doors and hardware complete the home. A wall-mounted, thermostat-controlled furnace provides dependable warmth.
