Nothing else like it! Loaded with character this spiral shaped retreat cabin on 2.5 acres with separate 900 sq ft studio is located near Gold Lake Ranch 20 miles from Boulder. Completely private and surrounded by National Forest, and miles of hiking trails, bordering vast meadows with ponds and abundant wildlife yet close to a county maintained road. An observation deck with giant views is on the property too. Bring your telescope. It's rare to find this kind of "must see" property. The photos that are shown on this MLS page were taken from a previous sale.Presently as you see this Listing the house and property are being ambitiously upgraded with newer bigger Solar system, new windows, new roofing, new water lines, new electrical services and a full 1,500 gallon tank of propane, and more. Presently the buildings are completely empty and ready for you to move in. It's an amazing price for this beautiful Property now. Call me with questions
