This is one of those rare end of the road retreats. 160 acre Colorado hunting ranch bordering public land on three sides. The road ends at the gate to this mountain hideout.
IMPROVEMENTS: Rustic 4 bedroom, 2 bath lodge provides room for large groups of up to 20 people. Built to live off-grid with propane refrigerator/freezers, oven/range, hot water heater, and lights. Large generator ready at the flip of a switch to run the electric lights, water pump, etc. when needed. Plenty of sunshine making it possible to add solar. Large central wood stove heats the lodge. There is a small "trapper's" cabin on the north side of the property that could be renovated for guests or events.
PROPERTY: 160 acres of mixed terrain ranging from 9,150 to 9,700 feet in elevation featuring rolling grassy meadows, lush aspen groves, dense pines, pinon and spruce trees, massive rock outcroppings, seasonal streams and pond. This is a true mountain property more commonly visited by elk, mule deer, bears, mountain lions, and moose than people. The lodge is appropriately located on the south end of the property so as not to disturb the wildlife habitat on the rest of the ranch. Ease in quietly and you're sure to see wildlife taking advantage of the setting.
LOCATION: Located in the northern San Juan Mountains on the west side of the San Luis Valley. Bordered by literally millions of acres of National Forest and BLM lands. From this location you can enjoy endless motorized exploration to the south, north, or east on hundreds of miles of 4x4 and ATV accessible roads and trails. Or head due west to enjoy quiet hiking or horseback riding in non-motorized National Forest. A true mountain retreat for any type of mountain recreation you prefer. Located in over the counter game management unit 68 this is a premium hunting property for your personal or outfitting enjoyment. 2WD access in the dry summer months, 4WD recommended. Last several miles of road are not winter maintained.
