Escape to your own private sanctuary on 31.02 acres of breathtaking mountain terrain. This hand-crafted 4,480-square-foot log cabin is the result of over twenty years of thoughtful craftsmanship, built by a woodsman who poured character into every beam and detail. The current owner — a motivated builder with a passion for quality — has spent the last four years upgrading and fortifying the property, so you can enjoy the rewards without the heavy lifting. Recent improvements include a brand-new metal roof with fresh plywood decking and an ice and water shield, a completed master bathroom, sealed exterior with repaired siding, and fresh concrete poured in the basement, garage, and around the foundation. Electrical has been updated by a licensed contractor, plumbing handled by a professional, and a tankless propane water heater installed alongside 1,500 gallons of propane storage. A top-of-the-line solar system and new generator mean you are essentially your own utility company, and the driveway has been refreshed with truckloads of gravel. This property is a true four-season recreation paradise. At 7,400 feet of elevation, you're perfectly positioned for ATV riding, phenomenal elk hunting especially during bow season, winter snowmobiling, and hiking — the Continental Divide Trail is just minutes away. The wildlife is abundant, with elk, deer, bear, and moose regularly roaming the property, making every day feel like an adventure. Year-round living? It's all about you and being prepared, and the rewards are well worth it. Access is seasonal, sitting approximately 6.4 miles past where the county plows and about 7 miles from pavement, so a capable 4x4 is recommended with a snowmobile or similarly equipped track vehicle for winter months. There is no well on the property, but a year-round stream feeds a cistern with a gravity-fed water system during warmer months, with bottled drinking water recommended. This property is surrounded by Forest Service access, offering endless opportunities for exploration. Cash purchase only, as the non-guaranteed access does not meet conventional lending requirements. If you're looking for a smart home where you can talk to your fridge, this might not be for you. But if you want a rugged, fortified, off-grid haven surrounded by world-class recreation and unparalleled wildlife — the view from this picture window is calling your name.
