Property Description

Step back in time and experience the charm of authentic Colorado mountain living in this quintessential 1953 log cabin nestled in the highly sought-after St. Elmo Mining District. Set on 2.8 pristine acres with over 550 feet of coveted Chalk Creek frontage, this rare property offers the perfect mountain escape surrounded by towering peaks, abundant wildlife, and the soothing sounds of rushing water. This cozy one-bedroom, one-bath cabin is filled with rustic character, featuring original log construction, a beautiful stone hearth with a wood-burning stove, a modest country kitchen, and an updated 3/4 bath. Whether you're relaxing after a day of exploring or enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, this cabin embodies the timeless appeal of a classic Rocky Mountain retreat. Unlike many high-country cabins, this property is easily accessible by county road during the summer months. Winter transforms the area into a snow-covered paradise, with the road unplowed, providing exceptional opportunities for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and endless backcountry adventure right from your doorstep. The property also offers outstanding future potential with a newer three-bedroom septic system already installed, an in-house use well, and ample room to expand or create your dream mountain getaway while preserving the charm of the original cabin. Whether you're seeking a peaceful seasonal retreat, a basecamp for year-round outdoor recreation, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this rare Chalk Creek frontage cabin delivers an unforgettable Colorado mountain experience in one of Chaffee County's most treasured alpine settings.
