Welcome to "Mountain High Cabin, " located just 16 miles north of Durango in the middle of the San Juan National Forest at 10, 500 feet. It offers ideal cool summer days, allowing you to escape the heat from below. This 10-acre in-holding property is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest on all sides, making it a perfect retreat when you want to disappear from everyone. Land The property includes a spring, making it an ideal location for a solar well, which is currently popular and would be a great addition to the cabin. The land itself is adorned with big, beautiful trees, including several Aspen trees that showcase stunning fall colors. The views are endless and breathtaking. There is a metal gate which provides access for this cabin along with three other cabins in the area. Everyone helps each other and looks out for one another while there, yet you cannot see each other, ensuring your privacy remains intact. Improvements Mountain High was built in 2000 and is a two-story log cabin boasting 2, 400 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is 100% off-grid while providing all the comforts of home. The cabin features a 780-gallon water tank with a cistern and septic system already installed. Powered by 500 watts of battery power and a 4, 000-watt peak inverter, the cabin also has a 500-gallon propane tank to operate the refrigerator and gas stove, as well as an on-demand hot water system for refreshing showers. Additionally, the cabin is equipped with a great surround sound system throughout. Recreation For the hunters in the family, Mountain High is located in BGU 74 and offers the opportunity to hunt elk, deer, bear, and grouse with OTC elk tags in Colorado. It would be an incredible hunting cabin, boasting amazing views. History One of the property's best features is a small clearing known as The Overlook, complete with wooden benches. The views from this spot must be seen to be believed. Moreover, it would be an ideal location to set up a large hammock, as it is situated right on the edge of a vast cliff overlooking the world below. Currently, the owner is using a backhoe to clear away some of the deadfall and prepare the cabin for the new owner, along with making some improvements to the cabin itself. Whether you desire an amazing cabin in the woods for your family, a hunting cabin, or even a great VRBO rental, Mountain High can fulfill all of those wishes and more.
