Escape to a Mountaintop Retreat in SW Colorado

Three bedroom, two bath, log home on 160 acres in the middle of the San Juan National Forest. We are off-the-grid but powered by solar energy & propane with our own wells and infrastructure. Our ranch is located adjacent to a Forest Service Lookout Tower at 9600 feet. We have views of the nearby snow-capped La Plata peaks as well as Sleeping Ute Mountain to the west.

The Bunkhouse has a full working kitchen, a pot-belly heating stove for colder weather, and a central dining room. One of the bedrooms has full-sized bunkbeds anda sleeping loft with a full futon mattress. The upper bedroomhas a full bed and the 3rd, lower bedroom has a queen bed; so five beds in all.

The are hiking trails, ATV trails, and riding trails all around the ranch as it is a well-known recreational area in the county. We often have a resident elk herd on the ranch during the summer. At dusk it is not unusual to here a coyote pack howling. Wildflowers are abundant during the summer months and the aspen leaves turn golden in the second half of September.
