Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Colorado's iconic ghost town of St. Elmo, this fully remodeled 884 square foot log-sided cabin offers a perfect mountain escape on 0.55 acres. Surrounded by towering peaks, dramatic rock outcroppings, and sweeping mountain views, this cozy retreat blends historic character with modern comfort. Inside, the open-concept living space features warm wood tones, abundant natural light, and thoughtful updates throughout. The primary bedroom provides peaceful rest, while the second non-conforming bedroom offers flexible space for guests, a home office, or extra storage. Complete with electric baseboard heat and a wood stove perfect for unwinding after a day on the trails. The full bathroom has been tastefully updated for everyday convenience. Step outside to your private sanctuary and a custom-built standalone wood fired sauna awaits. The gently sloping 0.55-acre lot provides ample room for outdoor living, with great vistas of the surrounding mountains and easy access to hiking, four-wheeling, and the rich history of St. Elmo. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway, short-term rental investment, or year-round mountain home, this turn-key cabin delivers unbeatable charm and location. Experience true Colorado serenity in one of the state's most photographed historic towns. Priced to enjoy-don't miss your slice of St. Elmo history!
