We have a newly built two story 800 sq ft cabin available for rent.
We finished building the structure two years ago using non-toxic materials.
Everything is impeccable with lots of natural light (13 windows total). Given that we did the work ourselves from top to bottom, we are looking for a responsible couple or an individual who will take care of the cabin. This is a custom building in a very special setting. We have tons of trails and wilderness right outside the door. The area is peaceful and quiet. The cabin has very good internet so fast connectivity is not a problem.
We prefer someone with some type of mountain living experience. We are looking for someone who values cleanliness as part of their experience. Keeping the space clean is non-negotiable.
Experience operating a wood-stove is a huge plus.
We are located 20 miles west of Boulder. Your commute to Boulder will be of approximate 30 - 40 minutes via beautiful Left Hand Canyon Rd. Winter access is excellent via a double lane recently paved road. Given our strong winters, you will need a 4WD vehicle to live here. We commute to Boulder daily as we run our business predominantly in Boulder. Having said that, please think of our winters as strong and long. The cabin is located on four acres at 9,250 ft of elevation. Though 90% of us who live in this area of Boulder County work in Boulder, this is not Boulder. To live up here you need to love winter. Our winters come with a lot of snow.
Please know that in the winter months there will be days when the road leading to the cabin is closed for days. If need road access on a vehicle 365 days per year, our space won't work for your needs. There will be days when you will need to carry items, groceries, etc by foot on uneven terrain for 350 ft until we manage to clear the road. Our space is in a location where unexpected storms close the road for multiple days at a time. If you work from home, our storms won't truly affect your needs.
The beauty of this building is that, unlike most other Colorado mountain properties, the utility cost is very low. The building is extremely well insulated featuring a 2*6 framing/sprayed insulation combination. The wood-stove inside is excellent. Windows are energy efficient and new. If you like heating with wood, you'll have a very low utility bill. There is also an excellent propane heating stove that provides great backup heat. We designed the building with excellent passive solar gain. This means that even in the dead of the winter, the building is most of the day in the sun. The space is very quiet and its air circulation is very good. The cabin comes with a 150 sq ft south facing deck. You will be surrounded by an aspen grove. The main house in the property is located 350 ft away.
Depending on your Internet needs your Internet bill can be as low as $50/month or as high as $105/month. Check Nedernet for availability and pricing options. You will be responsible for propane, Internet and a small electrical bill.
The cabin features stone countertops, stone shower with a bathtub, non-toxic floors, wood ceilings and double pane windows. It also has a French door.
Please know that our property is a drug-free environment. Cannabis only. If you are a tobacco smoker the setup won't work for your needs.
Please note that based on previous experience, the space is not open to pets.
We require recent references from previous landlords, a complete background check, first month's rent and an $1,800 deposit.
We have multiple references as landlords as well. We have been landlords and housemates of a different space for over eight years.
Please note that our schedule is super hectic. As such, unfortunately we don't have time to do video tours, chats, Zoom, Facebook Time, etc. We are more than happy to show the space in person and answer all pertinent questions then. We very much appreciate serious inquiries only.
