NEW PRICE - 11.5 ACRES BORDERING NATIONAL FOREST. Your Colorado mountain basecamp starts here. Set on 11.5 private acres directly bordering National Forest, this furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home offers something increasingly difficult to find: space, privacy, direct access to public land, and room to enjoy the Colorado outdoors right from your own property.

Step off your land and into thousands of acres of National Forest for hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, ATV/UTV adventures, snowmobiling and seasonal hunting on nearby public lands in accordance with Colorado regulations. Elk, mule deer, wild turkey, foxes and other native wildlife are frequent visitors, while wide-open mountain views and dark Colorado skies provide an incredible backdrop in every season.

Inside, more than 3,200 square feet provides plenty of room for family and guests, with comfortable gathering spaces, generous bedrooms and large windows connecting the home to its mountain setting. The home is offered furnished, making this a true turnkey opportunity for a full-time residence, weekend retreat or four-season Colorado getaway.

Outside, the expansive wraparound deck provides room for morning coffee, evening sunsets and gatherings after a day in the mountains. A recently installed roof adds peace of mind, while the garage/workshop provides valuable space for vehicles, outdoor equipment, tools and recreational gear.

Located in Ranch of the Rockies with convenient year-round access, owners also enjoy community amenities including central trash service, a dog park, pavilion and stocked fishing reservoir. World-class fishing, rafting, skiing, mountain biking and endless public-land recreation are all within reach.
