Step back in time to a little piece of paradise steps away from the Rio Grande River. With breathtaking views of the cliffs outside of Creede and wild animals strolling through the meadow that is your backyard, this house is nestled in one of the most coveted, private, and gated communities in all of Colorado. Lovingly maintained by the owners for the past 29 years, this one bedroom, one bathroom summer cabin has had many upgrades and additions. Local artisans have hand-crafted custom-made alder cabinets, aspen accents, vaulted ceilings with rough cedar, and the discovery of exposed logs in the bedroom show cozy mountain charm in each nook and cranny. From the custom kitchen granite table, to the addition of the 20X20 living room to showcase the meadow and mountain views, you will be in awe of every view from every room. Big picture windows, vaulted ceilings, a full size washer/dryer, and a small walk-in closet make the tiny cabin feel like you are ‘living large’. Professionally landscaped by the current owners, there are mature aspen and spruce planted decades ago to provide privacy and shade. Enjoy gardening in a raised bed with vegetables, or simply use the current watering system to keep the garden vibrant and lovely. There is room enough for 2 cars in the driveway, and ample storage for all your toys in the sheds. Big River Ranch is a small community with shared fishing access on the Rio Grande River. NO RENTALS ALLOWED and a private gated entry helps maintain a close knit community. It is currently NOT set up for winter use due to being on the shared well and septic and electric only heat. It’s an easy ‘show up and leave’ kind of place where you don’t have to worry about a thing while you’re away! HOA dues cover water & sewer (May to October), trash service, and common area maintenance. You only pay separately for electricity and Wi-Fi. The playground and picnic table are just around the corner for making mountain memories. Wild turkeys, deer, fox, bear, and so much more also call this place home. Located between Creede and South Fork, across from the Blue Creek Lodge, high speed internet and Wi-Fi are available.
