Rustic Off-Grid Retreat on Red Dirt Creek - A Serene Mountain Getaway
Just 1.4 miles from the Colorado River, this historic, off-the-grid cabin offers a rare opportunity to own a peaceful escape nestled along Red Dirt Creek near Bond, Colorado. Originally located in Avon, the cabin was carefully disassembled, transported, and reassembled on this beautiful 42.58-acre property in 1997—with the help of friends and a vision. Fondly renamed the ''Magic Cabin,'' it blends historic character with thoughtful updates.
Set in a private canyon and accessed via a private road, the property features a year-round creek, sweeping views, and total tranquility. The two-story cabin includes an open main level with a cozy living and dining area, kitchen, and full bath featuring a vintage clawfoot tub. Upstairs, a bright and spacious sleeping loft overlooks the main living area and comfortably accommodates 4-6 guests.
The cabin's rustic charm continues outside with a generous wraparound covered porch—ideal for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings.
Sustainable and self-sufficient, the home is heated by a wood stove and solar-powered custom boiler with in-floor radiant heat. Lighting is provided by fixed propane gas lanterns, while a generator supports the well system. Additional features include an approved septic system and two tool sheds for ample storage.
Whether you're seeking a private retreat, hunting base camp, or a rustic getaway for family and friends, the Magic Cabin is a truly special find.
