A rare unicorn. This property is worthy of that description. It's so unique... qualified prospective purchasers should schedule a showing with their buyer agent because photos don't do it justice. This property has a 1-bedroom 900 SF historic cabin with the best river frontage we've seen plus a separate bunkhouse that houses 2 additional sleeping areas. Bedroom count includes both buildings. A large, oversized detached 2-car garage also includes a 195-sq.ft. workshop that is already stocked with the tools the next owner will need. This magical property has not been available for sale in more than 70 years. It has been lovingly cared for by the same family for decades. Unlike other river locations, this land has over 2.4 acres of pristine frontage that includes flat, useable land, a pond, private foot bridge, dramatic rock outcroppings and a lovely meandering stream. It is private, quiet, wooded and has outstanding fishing access. The main cabin is beautifully maintained and offers an inviting warmth on the interior and spectacular views and access to the river from two large decks where you can entertain and enjoy the rushing sounds of the river. The location is ideal as it's a short drive to world-class recreational and hiking opportunities and Allenspark, Estes Park or Lyons. Because of the non-conforming nature of this historic property, it would probably not be approved for a short-term rental. It's best use is for someone to use it as their primary residence or a 2nd home retreat. Showings are by appointment only.
