Set on 9.77 private acres bordering the White River National Forest, this is the kind of Colorado property people dream about but rarely find. Ruedi Creek runs through the land and feeds three private ponds, creating a setting that feels more like your own mountain retreat than a traditional home. The 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence spans 2,546 square feet and is built from reclaimed Civil War–era barn wood using traditional mortise-and-tenon construction—authentic, solid, and full of character. The craftsmanship is immediately evident, with every beam and detail telling a story that simply cannot be replicated in modern construction. This is true Colorado—raw, timeless, and built to last. Large windows and a south-facing orientation bring in natural light while framing the surrounding forest, water, and mountain landscape. The property also includes a private spring/cistern water system, enhancing its self-sufficient, retreat-like feel. A major highlight is the 2,618 square foot heated shop/garage with concrete floors and hot and cold water—ideal for recreational vehicles, equipment, storage, or projects. Located near Ruedi Reservoir and within reach of Basalt and the Roaring Fork Valley, the property offers access to some of Colorado’s best fishing, boating, hiking, and year-round recreation. In a market where premier mountain properties often command significantly higher price points, this offering presents a rare opportunity to secure land, water, privacy, and authentic craftsmanship at a compelling value.
