Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a truly special off-grid property-five private acres completely surrounded by the San Isabel National Forest. Located just six miles west of Buena Vista at the base of the Collegiate Peaks, this secluded log cabin retreat sits along the beautiful North Cottonwood Creek, which flows directly through the property and offers a natural swimming hole during the summer months. Tucked at the end of Forest Road 365, just south of the North Cottonwood Creek Trailhead, the location offers a perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. The single-room rustic log cabin has been upgraded with new wood flooring is well appointed with a California king bed, sitting area, kitchen area shelving, counters and more. Antique woodburning stove keeps the cabin heated on winter nights. A spacious new deck provides the perfect spot to sit and take in the mountain tops and the rushing sound of north cottonwood creek. Electricity is available via generator, and water can be brought in or filtered directly from the creek. There is no well or septic system, adding to the off-grid charm of this rare find. The property includes a large storage shed, an outhouse, and the remains of several historic cabins that add character and potential. Two well-established campsites make it ideal for hosting family and friends. Whether you're relaxing by the creek, enjoying the peace of the forest, or heading out on one of the many hiking trails-including the Colorado Trail, Mt. Harvard, Mt. Columbia, and Kroenke Lake-this property offers endless possibilities for adventure, connection with nature, and creating unforgettable memories. This is an extremely rare offering with unmatched setting and potential-don't miss your chance to own a slice of true Colorado wilderness.
