Step back into a special place in time with this original tiny cabin and live your Colorado dream. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a lot of charm! Lovingly maintained by the same owner for 26 years, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make new memories for years to come. On a little more than half an acre, keep it as your summer getaway, or build something new on the large lot while you live in the cabin. This cabin is one of the original cabins built in 1938 when Big River Ranch was a dude ranch, and still shows the cabin number “12” on the door. Sold fully furnished, so show up and enjoy and worry about the rest later! Enjoy magical sunsets on the western facing covered deck that overlooks the expansive .57 acre lot with mature cottonwood and towering pines. The birdsongs will enchant you all day, and be careful not to startle the families of turkeys and deer that make this place their home too. Summer only access due to shared well and septic that gets turned on mid May to mid October. Big River Ranch is one of the few private gated communities in the area. Located on the Rio Grande River, and backing to the Rio Grande National Forest, you can enjoy easy access hiking, and private fishing rights for a mile along some of the best fishing in all of Colorado. Put your raft in or take it out less than 25 yards away. Everyone knows each other, and the summers are magical with wildlife as your neighbors too. Wild turkeys, deer, foxes, and the occasional bears live in harmony day after day. No short term rentals allowed means a closer knit community. Shared community storage for small boats and bikes, a community picnic pavilion and kid’s playhouse, and full size playground for everyone to enjoy. Easily walk the mostly flat dirt roads to get your steps in, and don’t worry about cars running you over. Make sure you get here by July 4th for the annual community picnic that’s right next door at the picnic pavilion!
