2495 Ute Creek Road

Escape to your own private mountain retreat! Nestled on 11 wooded acres in Idaho Springs, this charming 1-bed, 1-bath, 2-story cabin is the ultimate off-grid getaway amid nature and tranquility. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle, the cabin includes a composting toilet and operates without running water for a true back-to-nature experience. Tucked behind two gated entries on a private road, the property features a seasonal stream, natural spring and rock water feature beside the spacious wrap-around deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunsets in mountain serenity. The land is filled with Aspen trees that blaze with vibrant color each fall, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Inside, warm tongue and groove ceilings, hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings create a cozy, open feel. The kitchen offers green cabinetry, propane appliances and a functional island with seating, flowing seamlessly into a welcoming living area centered around a wood-burning stove. A spiral staircase leads to the upper-level bedroom with built-in bookshelves, large windows and peaceful forest views. Powered by owned solar panels, this cabin includes a propane refrigerator, stove and classic clawfoot tub plumbed with a drain but not currently connected to water—previous owners used the upper spring, though the setup is no longer in use. Thoughtfully designed for guests, the cabin sleeps up to eight and comes fully furnished, ready for your next mountain adventure. Enjoy abundant wildlife—elk, deer and bears—and nearby trails for hiking and ATV exploration. With a solid cinder block foundation, strong bones and easy access to town despite its secluded setting, this home blends rustic comfort with self-sufficient living. Located 2.5 miles up Ute Creek Road, a high-clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended for access. Whether you’re seeking solitude, a weekend escape or a nature lover’s haven, this cabin invites you to relax, unplug and reconnect with the great outdoors.
