    What's special

    You've watched every episode and variation of Tiny House show HGTV has to offer, and dream of one day simplifying your life and moving to a tiny house of your own in the mountains. The problem? Denver's ridiculous real estate market means you're out of money before you’ve even built a thing! Not to mention, the city has actually made them illegal, like the wet blankets they are. So what if you could have your own little piece of paradise in a small mountain town just outside of the city? It sounds almost too good to be true, right?! Well, unlike those infomercials on the Justice Network that promise you can drop 30 pounds in 4-½ minutes, this is the REAL DEAL! Located in Indian Hills, this cabin is a blank canvas, waiting for the realization of all your tiny house dreams. With a new roof, wood floors, electricity, and a wood stove that could easily heat a house twice the size, you’ve got the perfect beginnings of a place you will be happy to make your home. The footprint of the space is approximately 250 square feet, and sits on a tenth of an acre of property. Offering a tranquility and peacefulness that makes you question why you didn't leave the city sooner, you'll love the outdoor space, where you'll no doubt spend most summer nights and a decent number of cold weather days. The 8' high ceilings are capped with a gabled roof that could provide ample storage space, while the underside of the house is perfect for housing water and waste. There is a driveway along the edge of the property that can fit two cars, and plenty of road parking for your huge reveal party. Other fun facts about the house: - It was originally part of a resort that was nestled up here on these two roads, which was at one time owned and run by the Union Pacific Railroad. - After the railroad started selling the cabins off, this one was purchased by none other than George Olinger, the namesake of the Olinger Mortuary, currently home to Linger in downtown Denver. - It comes with the complete, hand-written ledger of its purchase history. This is how they kept track of property sales before computers. - The cabin is constructed of Douglas Fir. Not only does this make it cooler than any other low-dollar shanty you would have to build with inferior woods, but it is an incredibly stable and sturdy building material. - Jefferson County has appraised the property at just under $85K, so your purchase has instant equity, like it's already been redone by Chip and Joanna Gaines! - Deer and other wildlife frequent the area and love to hang out in the yard, grazing and sunbathing. They're great neighbors! - The location gives you stellar access to the mountains, beating out the city traffic. 30 minutes to Idaho Springs, 90 minutes to Vail, and 3 hours to Aspen. If you are interested in seeing the property, schedule a showing through IndianHillsTinyHouse@gmail.com. For some of the finer details, keep on reading. It may save you some heartache, so probably worth your time. Or not, whatever you want. - This property is being sold AS IS. The structure is sound, the metal roof should last you a long time, and the wood floors are brand new. We covered all of the stuff nobody really wants to spend money on anyway, so you can build out the inside exactly how you want! - You may be wondering "where's the bathroom?" Currently, this property does not have running water. We have explored a number of solutions to this quandary, and are happy to share our findings with you! - This is a small neighborhood in a small town, and this property sits directly across from our house. Your personality and how great of a neighbor you are going to be count as much, if not more, than the power of your checkbook. We intend to have a jerk-free neighborhood! - If you INSIST on using a Realtor for this transaction, all associated fees and commissions will be the responsibility of the purchaser, and will be added to the final purchase price.
