Property Description
Escape to your own private mountain retreat! Nestled on 11 wooded acres in Idaho Springs, this charming 1-bed, 1-bath, 2-story cabin is the ultimate off-grid getaway amid nature & tranquility. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle, the cabin includes a composting toilet & operates without running water for a true back-to-nature experience. Tucked behind two gated entries on a private road, the property features a seasonal stream, natural spring & rock water feature beside the spacious wrap-around deck-the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunsets in mountain serenity. The land is filled with Aspen trees that blaze with vibrant color each fall, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Inside, warm tongue & groove ceilings, hardwood floors & vaulted ceilings create a cozy, open feel. The kitchen offers green cabinetry, propane appliances & a functional island with seating, flowing seamlessly into a welcoming living area centered around a wood-burning stove. A spiral staircase leads to the upper-level bedroom with built-in bookshelves, large windows & peaceful forest views. Powered by owned solar panels, this cabin includes a propane refrigerator, stove & classic clawfoot tub plumbed with a drain but not currently connected to water-previous owners used the upper spring, though the setup is no longer in use. Thoughtfully designed for guests, the cabin sleeps up to eight & comes fully furnished, ready for your next mountain adventure. Enjoy abundant wildlife-elk, deer & bears-and nearby trails for hiking & ATV exploration. With a solid cinder block foundation, strong bones & easy access to town despite its secluded setting, this home blends rustic comfort with self-sufficient living. Located 2.5 miles up Ute Creek Road, a high-clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended for access. Whether you're seeking solitude, a weekend escape or a nature lover's haven, this cabin invites you to relax, unplug & reconnect with the great outdoors.

Direction The cabin is located 2.5 miles up Ute Creek Road. In order to access the cabin on Ute Creek Rd you will need a 4WD high clearance vehicle. Google maps will get you to the location. However, once you are on Ute Creek Road you will no longer have cell phone service. DO NOT reset Google Maps since you will not have service to reconnect once you are on that road. There are two locked gates to access the property. There is a lockbox on the chain of the first gate that has keys for gate 1, gate 2 and the cabin. The keys for the cabin work on the back door by the picnic table, not by the grill. The keys are a copy so the silver key does stick slightly, it just needs a jiggle and will work.
