About This Home

SEASONAL & REMOTE Possum Creek Retreat Seasonal & Remote Mountain Cabin Retreat on the Flat Tops Opportunities to own a mountain cabin on Colorado's famed Flat Tops are exceptionally rare. Possum Creek Retreat offers a remarkable hunting and recreational property in one of the most distinguished big game and outdoor recreation regions in Colorado. Located on the Flat Tops of Western Colorado, approximately 1¾ hours north of Glenwood Springs, the property is accessed seasonally via Transfer Trail (Forest Service Road 602). End-of-the-road seclusion provides privacy and direct access to thousands of acres of adjoining public lands, including Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and National Forest acreage. The offering includes a private cabin together with an undivided one-third interest in a contiguous 160-acre tract. Two additional cabins are located on the property but are not included in the sale. A valuable adjudicated water right from Kendrick Spring supplies the cabin through a piped water system. The landscape features a picturesque mix of mature aspen groves and pine-covered hillsides interspersed with lush mountain meadows filled with native grasses and seasonal wildflowers. The south-facing cabin enjoys expansive views overlooking Western Colorado's mountain terrain and the Colorado River Valley beyond. Whether pursuing trophy elk and mule deer, exploring nearby public lands, or simply enjoying the peace and solitude of the high country, Possum Creek Retreat provides a unique opportunity to experience Colorado's backcountry at its finest.
