Description

Riverfront mountain retreat with rare access to the North Fork of the South Platte. This updated cabin sits on nearly two acres in an ideal setting—flat, fully fenced, and backing directly to the river with a private gate providing easy access to the water. Tucked just off Highway 285 for year-round access, the property offers both immediate enjoyment and long-term potential, with quick and convenient access to Bailey for local shopping, dining, and everyday essentials. Inside, the living space is warm and inviting, finished with beetle-kill pine accents and original hardwood flooring. The galley kitchen includes all appliances and flows into a comfortable living/sleeping area. Climate control is handled by a newer gas stove with remote, along with a wall furnace in the kitchen. The updated ¾ bath is accessed through a stylish barn door. Recent improvements include new siding (2018), new windows and doors (2019), and a sliding glass door that opens to a newer 16’ x 10’ partially covered wood patio overlooking a peaceful meadow with frequent wildlife activity. The property has seen extensive fire mitigation and is well set up for storage and future expansion, with two sheds (one with electricity) and a heated pump house. The owned propane tank, updated 1000-gallon septic with new line and cleanouts, and ample parking on the flat lot make this an easy property to enjoy year-round. Located in historic Grant, CO, this amazing mountain gem is less than five minutes from Pike National Forest and offers a true Colorado lifestyle. Just a short walk away is The Shaggy Sheep, open year-round for coffee, meals, or a drink at the bar. With river frontage, highway access, proximity to Bailey, and room to build a future dream home, this is a versatile mountain getaway—or rebuild opportunity—that’s becoming increasingly hard to find.
