This cozy mountain cabin in the Sangre de Cristo Ranches offers a great opportunity for anyone seeking a hunting retreat, weekend getaway, or off-grid-style living with modern comforts already in place. Built in 1979, the cabin sits on 5 acres with beautiful mountain surroundings and views of Mountain Home Reservoir from the driveway. The home features an open floor plan on the second level, where the bedroom, family room, and living room flow together, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A wood stove and propane furnace keep the cabin heated. The lower level includes a garage/workshop space, along with utility rooms for the water pumps and water heater. The property is already connected to power and includes a septic system and cistern for water. Surrounded by nature and located in a designated Dark Sky Sanctuary area, you’ll enjoy abundant wildlife, crisp mountain air, and star-filled night skies. This cabin has been vacant for over five years, and while some routine maintenance and updates may be needed, the essentials are already in place—making it a solid foundation for your vision. Located just minutes from Mountain Home Reservoir and close to Trinchera Ranch and countless outdoor opportunities, this property offers both privacy and convenience. Being sold as-is.
