Property Description
Live the True Colorado Mountain Life: Off-Grid on 40 Acres at the Base of Mount Shavano! If end-of-the-road seclusion and off-grid living are what you are after, this rugged mountain retreat may be exactly what you have been searching for. Nestled at the base of majestic Mount Shavano, this 40-acre forested property offers unmatched privacy, sweeping alpine views, and a chance to fully disconnect while living in tune with nature. The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features 1,344 square feet on the main level, including a large living area, a practical kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms, and a full bath. A wood stove provides cozy, reliable heat through the winter months. Downstairs, the unfinished basement provides space to expand, with another full bathroom already in place. An attached 2-stall garage connects directly to the basement - ideal for vehicles or gear after a day of exploring.
Built for self-sufficiency, the home runs on solar power with a backup generator, keeping your footprint light and your independence strong. A durable metal roof and brand-new stucco (installed in 2025) ensure long-term, low-maintenance living. This property isn't for the faint of heart-it's for the hardy, those drawn to the raw beauty of Colorado's high country. Whether you're seeking a full-time homestead, seasonal getaway, or basecamp for outdoor adventures, this off-grid sanctuary offers the freedom, solitude, and lifestyle so many only dream about. Don't just visit the mountains-live in them. Property's NW corner abuts National Forest. Well allows for an additional home, 1 acre lawn/garden, and domestic animals. Home is located along a private road in which you must be accompanied by a broker (sorry, no drive bys), home is occupied full time. Note: This is one of 3 adjacent properties being offered for sale, giving you an opportunity to purchase 120 acres with a total of 3 homes if desired.
