This is the vacation getaway home you've been dreaming of! Nestled above the charming town of Empire and situated at the base of Berthoud Pass, this cabin is an outdoor lover's paradise with easy access to a myriad of recreational activities. Originally built by the National Forest Service, these cabins were designed to immerse you in nature. Significant renovations have been made to enhance this home’s appeal, including an updated kitchen, refinished wood floors, fresh paint, and numerous exterior improvements. Featuring 2 bedroom areas and a loft, there is ample space for everyone to come and enjoy! There is no well for water, or sewer/septic, however the home does have an incinerating toilet system and a sink pump to hook up to a water jug. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and an abundance of privacy, this home also boasts a seasonal stream that flows through the yard, adding to its enchanting charm. With both a wood stove and a fireplace, you’ll stay cozy and warm no matter the season. This cabin truly embodies the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. This cabin is on US Forest Service land, so you purchase the cabin and lease the land. It is a 20-year land lease which is paid annually and renews in 2028 for another 20 years. This home cannot be used as a primary residence or as a short term rental. This is a CASH ONLY sale or possible seller financed sale.
