Description

Nestled within the enchanting embrace of Colorado's wilderness, this charming cabin on 1/4 acre Forest Service land offers a cozy retreat that Mother Nature herself would approve of! With majestic mountains as your backdrop, this cabin beckons you to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and embark on a serene journey. Boasting an inviting rustic design, the log cabin is known as the HiLo or Peggy Hill Cabin, and is surrounded by Pike National Forest. It exudes a timeless charm, featuring warm wood accents, wood and tile floors, and a cozy wood-burning moss rock fireplace. An ultra-efficient pellet stove has been added to keep it warm on even the chilliest of days. There is a practical and efficient kitchen with an electric oven/stove, refrigerator, water cooler, microwave and pantry closet. The sink drains to the outside, but be aware that there is no water source for this property. Steps outside the kitchen is an adorable and clean outhouse, with a toilet that leads to the septic system. A main floor bedroom features log accents and a closet, as well as south and west facing windows. A ladder leads to the upper loft, with plenty of space for another bed or two, or a large bonus space with the impressive moss rock fireplace running through it. The front porch is perfect for a morning coffee or evening stargazing. The scent of pine needles and the symphony of birds outside provide the soundtrack for all your adventures. Palmer Lake is an absolute paradise, touted as Almost Heaven! Trails meander through the surrounding forest, inviting hikers and wildlife enthusiasts to explore. The nearby lake is available for fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking and picnicking. This forested haven is only an escape, and cannot be used as a permanent residence, or for any income or commercial use.
