About This Home
Tucked into the foothills at the base of Storm Mountain, this private mountain retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience Colorado in its most authentic and tranquil form. Set on 1.65 acres , the residence is perfectly positioned to capture sweeping alpine vistas and a true sense of seclusion-yet remains within an easy, scenic drive to Estes Park and the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Thoughtfully crafted with a nod to classic mountain architecture, this one-bedroom, one-bath cabin showcases rich natural materials throughout, including warm pine finishes that create an inviting and timeless interior. The living space is anchored by a wood-burning stove, offering both ambiance and comfort after a day spent exploring the surrounding wilderness. Expansive outdoor living is where this property truly shines. A generous deck frames panoramic mountain views, providing the ideal setting for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or simply taking in the stillness of nature. Wildlife sightings, crisp mountain air, and unobstructed stargazing elevate the experience into something truly special. Adventure begins just beyond your doorstep, with immediate access to hiking, fishing along the Big Thompson River, off-road trails, climbing, and year-round recreation including snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Whether envisioned as a personal escape or a legacy mountain getaway, this offering captures the essence of Colorado living-quiet, refined, and deeply connected to the landscape. Property is serviced by cistern water system, septic with leach field, and hauled water.
