Nestled among the aspens high above Leroux Creek, just north of Hotchkiss, this charming mountain property offers the ultimate recreation getaway with incredible privacy, views, and access to the National Forest. Elevate Internet on property. From the property, you can ride your ATV, drive your truck, or take your horses into the National Forest, where you'll find miles of roads, trails, fishing reservoirs, hiking and exploring opportunities, and excellent hunting areas. Wildlife is abundant, making this a truly special mountain retreat. The owner's trail cameras have captured moose, elk, deer, bear, coyote, fox, and marmot on the property. The cozy cabin is small but exceptionally functional and comfortably set up to sleep six. The current pre-fabricated modular cabin was originally intended to serve as temporary recreational quarters. The property was thoughtfully developed with the infrastructure already in place for a large cabin. If the large cabin is built, the current cabin can be used as a comfortable getaway, guest quarters or short-term rental. An attached small garage provides convenient storage for your recreational equipment, while a separate heated building includes laundry facilities and a sleeping loft. The washer and dryer are included. A large, level building pad is already prepared for a future larger cabin. If you choose not to build, the expansive pad provides plenty of room for parking, horse corrals, a shop, or other uses. Access from the year-round maintained county 3100 Road is 1.4 miles via Stoney Creek Road to Alta Vista Road on a well-constructed, graveled driveway climbing approximately 1,000 feet to set you high above the valley and tucked away in a remarkably private setting. The elevated location provides exceptional mountain and valley views, including Green Mountain, Grand Mesa, the Leroux Creek Valley, and Patterson Reservoirs. The property is well equipped with essential infrastructure, including a private well connected to the cabin and frost-free hydrants, plus an excellent water storage system with two 1,500-gallon cisterns. Electricity is already installed at the building pad and connected to the cabin and separate building. A permitted septic system is in place and was designed to accommodate a larger future cabin. The cabin features central propane heat, a range/oven, refrigerator, kitchen sink, and 3/4 bathroom. Included are appliances, furniture, kitchenware, tools, and more—making this a ready-to-enjoy mountain retreat. Whether you're looking for a private weekend escape, a short-term rental, a basecamp for hunting and outdoor adventures, a recreational property, or a place with the potential for year-round living and future expansion, this sweet mountain hideaway offers an incredible combination of privacy, infrastructure, recreation, and views. Come experience the peace and possibilities of Leroux Creek for yourself.
