Loggers Cabin
995 Co Rd 341 : Westcliffe, CO 81252
Custer County, Colorado
Ranch Description
An original log cabin was a cabin built by a logger. Meticulously felled, peeled, fit, and sealed to create a unique, historical and original home or cabin retreat with 2 sleeping areas, a bath, a simple kitchen, and a living area.
Improvements
Half of the cabin is covered by a large open loft with windows, the other half is open to the roof line, and the entire ceiling has exposed beams, log posts, and lintel supports. The staircase to the loft is peeled wood rail, and the stairs are 1 2 logs. A wood stove provides heat in fall and winter, and the large, covered wrap-around decks are cool and inviting for reading, eating, or watching games. Privacy is a given. Not too far from the mountain town of Westcliffe, off a county road just a mile from a state highway. Good well, septic, and currently, the cabin is run by an off-grid solar system with generator backup, but rural electric is not too far away. Mountain views are great, and the property has a mixed forest of Aspen, ponderosa pine, and fir, perfect for the outdoor enthusiast.
Located in Custer County, with the town of Westcliffe as its county seat. Westcliffe is an hour from Pueblo, Canon City, and Salida, and Colorado Springs is an hour and 30 minutes away. The Arkansas River known for its amazing trout fly-fishing is a 30-minute drive, and Lake DeWeese is a 10-minute drive. Hunting is exceptional, and San Isabel National Forest borders the Wet Mountain Valley to the east and west. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains are designated Wilderness above the Rainbow Trail, and there are 50+ high-mountain lakes for undisturbed fishing. The skies are blue, the air is clean, and the people are friendly.
This acreage is made up of several mining claims that border and overlap. The seller is offering 20 +/- acres with the cabin. Mineral rights will transfer if applicable. BLM is surrounding most of the mining claims. Private and beautiful.
