Public Remarks: Diamond in the rough. A perfect long term Glamping opportunity. Rustic cabin & outhouse on picturesque property with 150 feet of river frontage. Large rocky forested hill behind cabin is adjacent to National Forest with views of back range. Although a legal residential lot, the odds of living here permanently are slim to expensive. The electrified cabin can be repaired but not enlarged. Currently the only legal access is to walk across the creek as the bridge washed away in the 2013 flood. It can be rebuilt, $1K-$100K. A new septic system is doubtful to expensive. Lots of hiking trails nearby. Easy access to Estes, Nederland, Lyons & Boulder. Call Agent to set showing. Seller will consider Owner Financing: Full price, 50% down, 10% interest, 1-3 year balloon note.
