Property Description

Secluded 2-Bedroom (Studio Style) Off-Grid Cabin on 5+ Acres Surrounded by National Forest - Welcome to your private mountain escape! This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom off-grid cabin sits on over 5 acres of pristine land, bordered on three sides by National Forest-a rare and unbeatable setting offering total seclusion, endless outdoor adventure, and breathtaking panoramic views. Inside, the cabin is cozy and efficient with propane in-floor heat (set at 50F through winter for temperature control), and a wood-burning stove that heats the home beautifully. The cabin is powered by solar energy with a backup generator, and includes a simple main power switch for easy shut-downs and startups. Solar batteries were replaced in 2018. A 500-gallon cistern (indoors) supplies the home, with two included portable tanks (100- and 350-gallon) used to haul water from Loveland or Estes Park. Water is easily winterized in minutes thanks to a quick-drain system for the pipes (cistern remains full year-round). There's a full bathroom with a shower and a clever back-flush system to conserve water when heating. A 1,000-gallon septic tank was professionally inspected in 2019. Also included is a grandfathered, working outhouse that's well-maintained. All major systems run on propane, including heat and cooking. The leased propane tank is filled roughly once per year-most recently in April. The property is actively maintained for fire safety-brush and pinecones are cleared regularly, and deadfall is removed. Wildlife lovers will appreciate the daily presence of hummingbirds, deer, elk, moose, turkey, marmots, and the occasional bobcat, bear, or mountain lion. This is the perfect blend of rugged mountain living and smart sustainability, with no compromise on comfort. If you're looking for solitude, unmatched natural beauty, and the freedom of off-grid living, this cabin is the one.
