Details
Located about 20 minutes south of Montrose and situated in complete privacy in the midst of a thick Ponderosa pine forest sits a cabin....hand built....and designed to be entirely off-grid and self sufficient. Water is supplied by a year-round spring. Power is supplied via solar panels, and when the sun doesn't shine the batteries can be charged by the adjacent gas generator. Wood stoves and a fireplace provide the heat and cooking is done on an old-fashioned but very classy wood cook stove. This cabin sits on just under 112 acres which is completely surrounded on 3 sides by Uncompahgre National Forest. The property is heavily wooded with aspen and Ponderosa pine, interspersed with small meadows hidden in the trees. It's home to elk, deer, bear, turkeys, and last summer there was a mountain lion holed up on an adjacent acreage. If you're looking for a unique property with off-grid sustainability, a corporate retreat or one-of-a-kind hunting lodge, this may be it.
