This amazing cabin sits on a private road with access to a fast-flowing creek that you can hear from inside. Very private and secluded yet accessible year-round. The land is mostly flat and surrounded by Aspen trees. Frequent wildlife interactions. Very serene relaxing experience with nature. There is no reason to drive on Forest Haven Ln unless you own property there, there is no drive-by traffic. Located near numerous additional trailheads and recreational area including Loveland Ski Resort, numerous white-water rafting guides, and much more. Incredible opportunity for hunters, nature lovers, or those looks for a serene place to relax.
The land is on a 20-year land lease from the US Forest Service which renews in 2028. You do not own the land. The landed is leased for $1307 a year from the National Forestry Service.
