Description

Just seven miles east of Estes Park, Colorado, lies this private and secluded 80-acre retreat. Tucked behind a locked gate, the property offers everything you'd want in an off-grid sanctuary: sweeping views, abundant wildlife—including elk, deer, moose, black bear, turkeys, and grouse—and direct access to hundreds of thousands of acres of Roosevelt National Forest, much of which is inaccessible to the general public.

From lush meadows and ponderosa pines at the base to lodgepole pines at the summit, the land also features scattered aspens, offering a rich mix of mountain flora and terrain.

HUNTING

This property is located in Game Management Unit (GMU) 20, known for its diverse game populations. Elk, Moose, Mule Deer, Black Bear, Turkey, and Grouse can be found both on the property and on adjacent public lands.

  • Tags: Cow elk, deer, and bear tags can currently be drawn with no preference points. Turkey tags are available over-the-counter. Bull elk tags typically require 4–7 preference points for resident hunters. Grouse can be hunted with a small game license.
  • Trophy Potential: Elk up to 330"+ and mule deer reaching 170"+ are possible in this area.

RECREATION

Beyond hunting, the property serves as a perfect base camp for outdoor recreation. The surrounding Roosevelt National Forest offers endless opportunities for hiking, backpacking, and exploring. The Big Thompson River, located at the entrance to the community, provides excellent fishing. With Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park just minutes away, recreational possibilities are truly limitless.

IMPROVEMENTS / BUILDING POTENTIAL

Current improvements are minimal and include an old outhouse, a fire pit with a grill grate, and some lawn chairs. However, the building potential is significant. Several prime locations near the top of the property offer breathtaking views and ideal building sites.

Any construction would need to be fully off-grid. Solar power is a viable option, and propane can be used for heating and cooking.

Directions: *Road to the property is gated. Please reach out to the listing agent to arrange a private showing* From US 34, take Soul Shine Road (located roughly 7 miles east of Estes Park) to the south. It's 0.9 miles from US 34 to the gated entrance. Once through the gate, take the road for 0.5 miles and turn right. Immediately after turning right, you will take the right fork in the road going away from the house. This road will continue on to the property and take you to the top of the hill to the back side of the property. The road is gated again at the back of the property.
