Exclusive Rocky Mountain Ranch land in Lake Creek
Tucked away in the upper West Lake Creek Valley, just 20-minutes from Edwards, is an idyllic, equine friendly alpine utopia. This two-bedroom mountain cabin takes full advantage of its immense acreage just below New York Mountain. Surrounded by BLM & National Forest that will never be built on, the property includes a mountainside shooting range, great for hunters to hone their skills, and a nearby trail that winds up from the cabin to a hidden overlook at the property's edge with stunning views of New York Mountain and the pastoral meadow below. At trails end, a natural open space offers the perfect elements for a star-studded campout. A simple, split rail fence encircles the well-maintained pasture with a quaint yet durable barn that provides shelter for horses or extra storage for equipment to manage the land. Completing this authentic western Colorado setting is a tranquil stream-fed pond that can be stocked for fishing in the summer and drained in the winter when it freezes.
The property's 80 acres includes a two-bedroom cabin and the potential for additional build sites. The cabin's main floor great room features vaulted ceilings and towering picture windows that showcase dramatic views of the surrounding wilderness with access to the large wrap-around deck where lounging and listening to soothing sounds of West Lake Creek flowing by is a must. The well-appointed kitchen has all the conveniences with an elegant stone-topped center island that opens to the dining area/great room and offers extra seating. A versatile loft overlooks the great room and provides extra sleeping space or storage as needed. The primary bedroom has an ensuite bath and vaulted ceilings while the second bedroom has views of the lush corral. The entire lower level is a massive, oversized 2-car garage with ample space for storing all the accessories needed to explore and enjoy this secluded mountain property. 801HolyCross.com/?mls
