If you've been looking for the ideal mountain getaway, this is it! Tucked away at the base of Berthoud Pass, this place is the outdoor lovers dream. This home is at the end of a road and backed by forest service land which makes you feel completely secluded, yet you are just minutes from the towns of Empire, Idaho Springs, or Georgetown, and endless recreation. This cute home comes fully furnished with rustic cabin decor. Throw some wood in the fireplace and cozy up on those cold nights. Within just minutes from ski resorts, backcountry skiing, hiking trails, fishing, and any other summer/winter activities that you may desire, this is such a great place to escape to! This home CANNOT be used as a primary residence or short term rental. There is no water to the home. It is a CASH only sale, sold AS-IS. It is on a Forest Service Land Lease which is paid annually. More info on the forest service cabin program can be found at www.nationalforesthomeowners.org.
