Escape to your own private mountain retreat! Nestled on 11 wooded acres in Idaho Springs, this charming 1-bed, 1-bath, 2-story cabin is the ultimate off-grid getaway amid nature & tranquility. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle, the cabin includes a composting toilet & operates without running water for a true back-to-nature experience. Tucked behind two gated entries on a private road, the property features a seasonal stream, natural spring & rock water feature beside the spacious wrap-around deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunsets in mountain serenity. The land is filled with Aspen trees that blaze with vibrant color each fall, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Inside, warm tongue & groove ceilings, hardwood floors & vaulted ceilings create a cozy, open feel. The kitchen offers green cabinetry, propane appliances & a functional island with seating, flowing seamlessly into a welcoming living area centered around a wood-burning stove. A spiral staircase leads to the upper-level bedroom with built-in bookshelves, large windows & peaceful forest views. Powered by owned solar panels, this cabin includes a propane refrigerator, stove & classic clawfoot tub plumbed with a drain but not currently connected to water—previous owners used the upper spring, though the setup is no longer in use. Thoughtfully designed for guests, the cabin sleeps up to eight & comes fully furnished, ready for your next mountain adventure. Enjoy abundant wildlife—elk, deer & bears—and nearby trails for hiking & ATV exploration. With a solid cinder block foundation, strong bones & easy access to town despite its secluded setting, this home blends rustic comfort with self-sufficient living. Located 2.5 miles up Ute Creek Road, a high-clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended for access. Whether you’re seeking solitude, a weekend escape or a nature lover’s haven, this cabin invites you to relax, unplug & reconnect with the great outdoors.
