Escape to the Colorado high country with this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 864-square-foot cabin on 5.25 acres in the sought-after Nine Mile Heights area of Hartsel.

Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, granite countertops, white cabinetry, a gas range, spacious bedroom, and beautifully updated bathroom. Major recent improvements include a new well installed in summer 2025, a cistern, brand-new solar batteries installed in 2026, and a shipping container added in 2026 for convenient storage. An RV/camper hookup adds even more flexibility for guests, recreation, or additional outdoor living. Step onto the front porch and take in what may be some of the best views in Hartsel, with sweeping panoramic mountain scenery and incredible views of Pikes Peak. The wide-open setting, abundant sunshine, and 5.25 acres create a peaceful sense of privacy while offering the freedom and functionality of full-time off-grid mountain living. Outdoor recreation is nearly endless. Fly fish the renowned Dream Stream, boat or kayak at Eleven Mile State Park, explore Tarryall Reservoir, go rafting near Buena Vista, soak in area hot springs, swim at Guffey Gorge, ski Breckenridge, or head over the pass toward Aspen. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting, camping, off-roading, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and abundant public lands are all nearby. Despite its peaceful mountain setting, the property remains within reach of Colorado Springs, Denver, Cañon City, Buena Vista, Fairplay, Woodland Park, and Breckenridge, making it an excellent full-time residence, mountain retreat, or basecamp for exploring the Colorado high country. Come fall, enjoy spectacular foliage at Wilkerson and Kenosha Pass, then stop by Hartsel’s new mercantile while exploring town. With the future Wild Horse Reservoir adding another recreational destination to the area, this property also offers exciting long-term potential. Whether you’re looking for a full-time off-grid home, vacation getaway, recreational retreat, or Colorado adventure property, this one combines recent infrastructure improvements, acreage, privacy, and exceptional mountain views in one special high-country setting.
