Public Remarks: A very rough house on a decent parcel. The land is generally steep except where the existing structure sits. This area is heavily wooded but relatively level and accessible. There is power to the house, otherwise in need of much attention. Potential problem with "deeded access" so may be additional issues with permits. Cash only sale, will not loan. Going to be a challenge but certainly an attractive getaway, nearby valley is spectacular. Also seasonal stream. 30mins to Boulder, 3 to Ward.
