Bordering over 1M acres of national forest in one of the most scenic areas of Colorado, this 53-acre parcel consists of 3 lots with a rustic and meticulously maintained log cabin. A quintessential cabin-in-the-woods, the alpine setting is nothing short of spectacular. Red Creek Retreat is located at the end of a private lane that is accessed from a year-round county road; the drive into the property winds through the evergreens before emerging above open meadows with a stellar view of Sand Mountain. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath cabin, oversized 2-car garage, and detached studio work well as a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat. The property is fenced and a grazing lease with a long-time local rancher keeps the taxes low. A spring-fed pond provides water for livestock and attracts the wildlife endemic to the area: Elk, deer, moose, bear, a variety of small game, and an abundance of bird species. Water rights have been adjudicated and the property is served by a great well. The location ranks among the best of what the area, prized for its recreational amenities, has to offer. The adjacent public land is only accessible on foot or horseback and a trailhead that allows motorized vehicles is only a short drive to the north. The motorized area hosts miles of roads that extend into Wyoming, inviting endless exploration on snowmobiles and UTV's. Steamboat Lake State Park, anchored by a 1,000-acre reservoir, is only 2 miles away and has a full-service marina, a swim beach, and 15 miles of hiking trails. The park is popular in the winter for ice fishing and skiing/snowshoeing on groomed trails. Pearl Lake and Hahn's Peak Lake are both wildly scenic and within 10 miles of the property. They are smaller and ideal for paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing, with hiking on miles of trails that extend into the adjoining national forest. The privacy, scenery, and public land access afforded by these three parcels is a sought-after combination so close to a renowned resort town.
