2009 Strauss Drive, Fort Garland

Traditional A-frame cabin on 2 lots, comprising nearly 11-acres of privacy and seclusion in gated Forbes Park. Cabin comes furnished, along with lots of tools, and enough cut and split firewood for at least 2 years! The cabin is tied to electricity, and features a wood-burning stove, 2 high-efficiency ETS heaters, propane, and a bonus Generac generator in case of the occasional power outage. A 200' well supplies the cabin with delicious, ice-cold drinking water. TWO freshwater springs on the property flow year-round, attracting wildlife. Gaze upon Mathilde Lake in the large meadow below and see 200+ elk herd frequently meander through. This is a Certified Wildlife Habitat at 9,800ft with only Greenbelt to the rear to hike and roam freely. The large ground-level basement with separate entrance could be modified for numerous possibilities. A fenced yard keeps your canines close, and a BBQ area provides outdoor dining for you and your friends. FOUR outbuildings house your mountain toys and tools - with all of the items shown already included! On this quiet road, you'll have only the sound of the wind in the trees, elk bugling, birds chirping. Detach from the city life while staying connected with high-speed fiber-optic internet while working from home. Enjoy the simple mountain lifestyle with the security of this gated community providing comfort and peace of mind. Your neighbors are generations of deer, elk, bear, wild turkeys, coyotes, etc. and many varieties of birds, for a true mountain living experience in perfect harmony with nature. Low annual dues include year-round road maintenance / snow removal (once cabin is occupied or with 5-days notice of your arrival), a dumpster at the front gate for household trash, a shed for FedEx/UPS delivery, gated security, use of the Forbes Park Community Center, and private access only 5.7 miles from the cabin to the San Isabel National Forest for hunting and exploring.
