Description
This is the vacation getaway home you've been dreaming of! Nestled above the charming town of Empire and situated at the base of Berthoud Pass, this cabin is an outdoor lover's paradise with easy access to a myriad of recreational activities. Originally built by the National Forest Service, these cabins were designed to immerse you in nature.
Significant renovations have been made to enhance this home’s appeal, including an updated kitchen, refinished wood floors, fresh paint, and numerous exterior improvements. Featuring 2 bedroom areas and a loft, there is ample space for everyone to come and enjoy! There is no well for water, or sewer/septic, however the home does have an incinerating toilet system and a sink pump to hook up to a water jug.
Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and an abundance of privacy, this home also boasts a seasonal stream that flows through the yard, adding to its enchanting charm. With both a wood stove and a fireplace, you’ll stay cozy and warm no matter the season. This cabin truly embodies the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort.
This cabin is on US Forest Service land, so you purchase the cabin and lease the land. It is a 20-year land lease which is paid annually and renews in 2028 for another 20 years. This home cannot be used as a primary residence or as a short term rental. This is a CASH ONLY sale or possible seller financed sale.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have one alumni of and one current student at CCHS. They have both taken full advantage of what CCHS has to offer in terms of academics and activities! Our children are very different from each other in terms of academic tracks and interests. CCHS has offered them both the ability to take the pathway that best fits their aspirations and interest areas. They have: taken AP courses, attended Warren Tech, participated on sports teams(no cut) football, basketball, poms, cross country. track, and baseball, participated in theatre productions fall and spring, and been members of various bands(concert/jazz) as well as choirs(concert/specialty). They have also participated in various school clubs and organizations like student government. Our experience at CCHS has been and continues to be amazing! We are so grateful for the teachers, coaches, counselors, and administrators that have worked with our children over the years! If you are looking for a more personalized HS experience CCHS is it!Parent Review1y ago - King-Murphy Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers here are amazing! All the teachers, and staff, know every single kids name in the whole school. The classes are small, average of about 9-10 kids per teacher. Everyone there is so sweet and welcoming. It is a village educating the kids, not just left to one teacher alone. They have the most amazing SPED teacher, who made a world of difference to one of our students. However, all of the teachers connect with the families and students to ensure excellent learning and fun.Parent Review1mo ago - Clear Creek Middle School

Small class sizes, supportive, dedicated teachers and staff, so many opportunities for learning (set up for HS), and MS sports, music, and theatre. Our children participated on the football and basketball teams, as well as the band, choir, and theatre groups. Their/and our middle school experience was positively excellent!Parent Review1y ago
