About This Home

A retreat built for holidays, reunions, and hunting season, this expansive mountain cabin sits on more than 40 acres in South Park, offering privacy, scale, and panoramic views at the base of Weston Pass. Fully fenced with a motorized gate, the property is positioned with the main residence perched high above the land, capturing sweeping south and east-facing views of the South Platte Valley and distant Front Range peaks. The nearly 7,000-square-foot home is designed for gathering, with over 15 beds and generous living spaces that comfortably accommodate large groups. Recent updates include modern kitchen appliances, new countertops, and durable LVP flooring, providing a solid foundation for your own personalization. A wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors, offering a front-row seat to sunsets, seasonal changes, and wildlife sightings including moose, elk, deer, and fox. The lower acreage remains open and usable, creating opportunities for recreation, exploration, or personal use, including an original cabin tucked in the trees, adding character to the landscape. Year-round access includes nearby trails such as Sheep Creek Loop, Rich Creek, and the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and backcountry exploration. In warmer months, South Park is known for fly fishing, hunting, and community events. Despite its secluded setting, the property is just 20 minutes from Fairplay and under an hour from Breckenridge, Buena Vista, and Salida. This is not a drive-by property—it’s a destination. Don’t miss a rare opportunity to own a substantial mountain retreat with land, privacy, and long-term potential in one of Park County’s most scenic locations.
