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.
