Property Description
Own a rare piece of Rocky Mountain history with this exceptionally maintained 1940s Forest Service cabin. This log & stone vacation property is on Forest Service land (Full-time primary residency and rentals are not allowed). Surrounded by Arapaho National Forest just outside Idaho Springs, CO, this charming cabin sits in an idyllic forest setting on the Mt. Blue Sky Scenic Byway. The fully furnished interior features a living room/bedroom with a Murphy bed, a cozy wood-burning fireplace, propane heater, kitchen with sink & range, and a bathroom with a hot/cold shower & composting toilet. All powered by solar and a gas inverter generator with a spring for water. While accessible for four-season use, the road is not winter maintained so bring your snowshoes for a holiday get-away. For extra guests, bunks could easily be added to the porch for additional sleeping quarters. Outside there is a generator shed, a natural spring and a nearby stream. Unplug or bring your Starlink for wildlife viewing and monitoring weather conditions while you are away. You are just minutes from Echo Lake Lodge, multiple trailheads, Echo Mtn Ski area and the highest paved road in North America. There is a zip-line and rafting just down the road, a network of mountain biking trails and a gondola with a mountaintop restaurant and music venue. Historic Idaho Springs is within 10 miles where you can enjoy bistros, breweries & galleries or grab groceries & gas. Nearby Georgetown offers another lake for kayaking and the Georgetown Steam Railroad. Skip the expensive, maintenance-heavy, depreciating RV and enjoy a piece of history with real appreciation potential. The current Forest Service Special Use Permit lease is $1,460/year, and transfers to new owners upon the sale/Forest Service permit application, and is up for a 30-year renewal in 2028. Please review the official program guidelines at the National Forest Homeowners website www.nationalforesthomeowners.org.Your adventure awaits!
