Property Description

Located in historic Grant, Colorado, this riverfront mountain retreat offers the spring and summer lifestyle buyers come to the mountains for—private river access, open meadow space, wildlife, fresh air, and easy access to outdoor recreation. Set on nearly two flat, fully fenced acres, the updated cabin backs directly to the North Fork of the South Platte River and includes a private gate for easy water access. Spend spring mornings fishing, summer afternoons relaxing by the river, and quiet evenings watching wildlife move through the meadow. Tucked just off Highway 285, the property offers reliable year-round access while still feeling quiet and private. Bailey is a short drive away for shopping, dining, fuel, and everyday essentials, and Pike National Forest is only minutes away for hiking, camping, exploring, and mountain recreation. The Shaggy Sheep is also within walking distance. Inside, the cabin blends classic Colorado character with thoughtful updates. Warm beetle-kill pine accents and original hardwood flooring create a cozy mountain feel, while the efficient galley kitchen includes all appliances and opens into a comfortable living and sleeping area. Heating is provided by a newer remote-controlled gas stove along with a wall furnace in the kitchen. The updated ¾ bath is accessed through a modern barn door. Recent improvements include new siding in 2018, new windows and doors in 2019, and a sliding glass door leading to a newer 16’ x 10’ partially covered wood patio overlooking the meadow and river corridor. Extensive fire mitigation has also been completed. Additional features include two sheds, one with electricity, a heated pump house, owned propane tank, updated 1,000-gallon septic system with new line and cleanouts, and plenty of flat parking. Whether used as a mountain getaway, rental opportunity, fishing basecamp, or future build site, this property offers true river frontage in a highly desirable South Platte corridor location.
