CREEK FRONT HOME! Off-Grid - this two-story, off-grid, cabin sits along the banks of Indian Creek outside of the small town of Fort Garland, Colorado. This serene mountain getaway runs on solar electricity and propane, yet it also features a large & efficient woodstove as well as a kitchen cook stove. Downstairs you'll find the living room, dining room, pantry & bathroom. Upstairs you'll find one large room that could easily be made into two bedrooms. Outside, Indian Creek runs along the Northern boundary of the property. Upstream and downstream, the creek is just a creek, but on this particular lot, your mountain stream spreads out and becomes a gorgeous, one-acre pond! Dragonflies, ducks, geese, and fish all enjoy this gorgeous, mountain wetland. If you raise your eyes above the pond, you'll see Mt. Blanca, the 4th highest peak in Colorado - the views are just spectacular! Tucked away next to the driveway, you'll find what looks to be an unfinished, subterranean greenhouse. A new roof is required, but you could grow food here year-round! While unfinished, the home is certainly habitable, and cozy. You just need a bit of texture and paint on the new drywall and some finish trim in places. Some solar upgrades may be necessary if you intend to live in the cabin year-round.
