5565 Forest Rd 504, Creede, CO 81130

Located high on Creede’s Bachelor Loop, this 21-acre property includes three mining claims, year-round access, and some of the most protected views in the upper valley. Over the past five years, the land has been thoughtfully restored with a high-quality road, extensive dead-timber removal, and renewed natural springs. With National Forest behind the property and a conservation easement in front, the privacy and views will remain undisturbed for generations. The upper acreage features several level building sites surrounded by wildlife; moose, elk, deer, bears, and more. The setting is profoundly quiet, shaped only by the natural world. At the entrance to the property sits a handcrafted 640 sq ft log cabin built from 8” D-logs harvested and milled onsite. The cabin blends warm craftsmanship with modern off-grid comforts: spring-fed water, solar power with generator backup, propane heat, Amish alder cabinetry, live-edge details, and a covered deck built for slow mornings. A fire pit set among native rock and a cast-iron cowboy hot tub offer an unforgettable way to take in the landscape. Additional covered storage and two secure 40’ containers provide flexible space for equipment or gear. This is one of the only large parcels with water, privacy, and permanently protected views near the top of the Bachelor Loop—an opportunity to build a home surrounded by true Colorado wilderness
