Elk Ridge Cabin

Have you ever dreamed of owning a mountain cabin that feels like it belongs on a postcard? Nestled just below Cathedral Peak, this 40-acre retreat in Cathedral Peak Ranch offers breathtaking scenery at 8700 feet, seclusion, and direct National Forest access.

Built in 2008, the well-constructed cabin sits on caissons with a metal roof and was fully permitted and inspected by Montrose County. Inside you’ll find one bedroom and a ¾ bath, spring-fed water (tested), and thoughtful details throughout. Outside features include a carport, a second carport for UTV/ATVs (machines come with tracks included for winter access), two Conex boxes (one serving as an underground cellar, the other storage), a laundry cabin, a 1,500-gallon water tank, 1,000-gallon buried propane tank with 250-gallon wet leg, plus a lean-to that shelters a pristine 1980 Playmore travel trailer, conveying with the property.

For hunters, this is the ultimate base camp. The property sits in big game unit 63 and borders National Forest to the east, providing immediate access to thousands of acres of wilderness. The area is rich with wildlife, trophy mule deer, elk, black bear, and spring turkey are all plentiful. A 16-foot teepee with propane fireplace and aspen chairs creates a unique spot to relax and take in the views.

Whether you’re seeking a private hunting cabin, family getaway, or one-of-a-kind mountain escape, this property delivers the Colorado lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of.

There is no winter road maintenance on Cathedral Peak Ranch. This cabin has been a full-time residence for a couple since 2008 and is set up with solar and all the needed amenities to live off grid. Use it as a residence or a hunting cabin or a peaceful retreat. Please review the Cathedral Peak website to learn about the ranch and how it is managed.
