Property Description

The ultimate Colorado fixer-upper opportunity—three secluded acres tucked among the pines with stunning panoramic views of Jackson Lake, bordering Mancos State Park. You’ll find three separate structures on-site: a log cabin shell, a primary residence, and a large detached garage/workshop. Both living structures are ready for a full transformation and are being sold as-is, presenting a blank canvas for renovation or new construction. Electricity is already installed to log cabin with a panel, and run throughout the main house however never finished. Electricity to garage is run thru extension cords. Recent improvements include a new hot water heater and wall heater installed in summer 2025, plus a wood stove for supplemental warmth. Domestic water must be hauled in at present, though the Upper Road 42 Water Users Association is actively developing a water system that would be installed along Road 42. Bringing water to the house would be owners responsiblity. A cistern and septic are needed; a soil test has already been completed by septic engineer Craig Wickstrom. Cost for septic and cistern installation $20k. The property offers abundant southern exposure—ideal for gardening. Several natural springs can be found throughout the land, and with no neighbors in sight, you’ll enjoy total peace and quiet. Step outside to explore endless hiking trails and miles of surrounding forest. No HOA. Covenants apply. Short-term rentals and a commercial business are not permitted. Sold AS IS.
