About This Home

Tucked among the tall pines, live creek frontage on Ivy Creek, this charming A-frame cabin is the perfect Colorado mountain escape, two parcels totaling 0.77 acres. Perched above Lemon Reservoir, this cozy two-bedroom retreat offers easy access to fishing, paddle boarding, hiking, hunting and endless outdoor adventures in the surrounding national forest. Designed for peaceful summer living, the cabin is supplied with seasonal water from a natural spring flowing from late spring through early fall, shared with only 5 other homes. Inside, you’ll find warm mountain character with a wood-burning stove, baseboard heat for backup comfort, newer windows and doors, and a solid metal-framed A-frame design with a steeply pitched roof built to handle Colorado snowfall with ease. The main level features one bedroom, while the loft provides additional sleeping space for guests or family. Take in beautiful mountain views from the front deck or enjoy quiet mornings with coffee on the back porch—an inviting gathering place for afternoon laughs with neighbors after a day outdoors. Full kitchen, stackable washer and dryer, everything needed for a summer’s stay in the mountains. Two storage sheds for the mountain toys, room under the house for more storage or close in the space for covered parking. Ivy Creek historically runs year-round through the property, adding to the peaceful setting and natural beauty. Sit on the deck, listen to the creek, while reading a book or simply enjoying mountain beauty. Road maintenance extends most of the way into Sierra Verde, with only a short stretch remaining unmaintained, preserving the secluded mountain-cabin feel while still offering convenient access. Dreaming of fishing, biking, paddling, hunting, or simply reading a book in peace, this mountain cabin will meet the needs of most everyone looking for their Colorado mountain home. This is an opportunity to own something in Colorado for enjoyment for many years to come!
