Description

Imagine owning a private, modern cabin with live water and pristine, breathtaking mountain views. Free from covenants or HOA on almost 2 acres, surrounded by USFS and State Land on three sides. Secluded and private, yet surprisingly convenient, minutes from the Mount Princeton Hot Springs, this retreat offers unrivaled views out of every window and comes with a completely turnkey interior. Nestled between the majestic peaks of Mt. Princeton and Mt. Antero in the heart of Chalk Creek Valley, this custom 3-bedroom/loft 2-bathroom cabin offers a rare sense of isolation with no roads in sight. From your front porch, watch as mountain goats traverse the high peaks to the north and Bighorn sheep graze in the meadow just steps away. With the Wilsey Ditch flowing through the property, the land attracts a vibrant array of visitors, including deer, moose, and occasional bobcat. The direct border with public lands guarantees privacy and access to adventure, including a private hiking trail that leads directly from the cabin to the stunning Agnes Vaille Falls. Inside, the home is impeccably maintained. The home features warm tongue-and-groove accents and large windows that flood the space with natural light. Modern convenience is ensured with Starlink satellite internet, allowing you to stay connected even in this remote paradise. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive, designed for relaxation and entertainment. Enjoy the covered front porch, backyard deck, horseshoe pit and large fire pit. After a day of exploring, the therapeutic Hot Spring brand hot tub offers the perfect spot to soak under the stars. Currently a five-star, guest-favorite short-term rental, this property is ready to generate immediate income or serve as a private getaway. Complete with a high-yield well, an oversized garage w/ workshop, and a storage shed. This turnkey property blends history, modern comfort, and proven investment potential.
