Property Description
Tucked away among the aspens of historic St. Elmo, this rare mountain retreat is the kind of place that stays in the family for decades Built in 2013 by a skilled local craftsman, the cabin blends the durability and energy efficiency of ICF construction with the character of Colorado mountain living. Surrounded by aspens, abundant wildlife, you'll immediately feel the pace of life slow down. The spacious front deck is destined to become your favorite room of the house. Inside, the bright open-concept design creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The living room and kitchen flow seamlessly together, making it easy to host family gatherings, holiday weekends, and spontaneous getaways with friends. Large windows frame the surrounding forest, bringing the beauty of the outdoors into every room. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's plenty of space for family and guests to relax after a day of exploring the mountains. Just steps from the cabin, a private trail winds through your property to a creek—your own hidden slice of Colorado paradise. Whether you're snowmobiling through fresh powder, exploring endless ATV trails, hiking alpine terrain, mountain biking, fishing, or simply enjoying the quiet, adventure awaits right outside your door Adding even more character to the property is a historic cabin outbuilding. Full of rustic charm and endless possibilities, it's the perfect place to create a bunkhouse for guests, a cozy game room, an artist's studio, a workshop, or a memorable hideaway for kids and grandkids. Private creek access and year-round recreation make this a special opportunity. This isn't just a cabin—it's a legacy property, a place where stories are made, traditions are built, and generations will gather for years to come.
