Property Description

Escape to your exclusive mountain retreat, Lakeview Hideaway, a secluded 40-acre haven just moments from the shores of 11 Mile Reservoir. Nestled amidst a sprawling expanse of the Pike National Forest, this private ranch offers unrivaled access and seclusion into the great outdoors. Gaze upon lake vistas from your rustic cottage's front deck and explore the trophy Trout and Northern Pike waters of 11 Mile and Spinney Reservoirs, or cast your fly at the Dream Stream—each a mere five-minute drive from your gate. With frequent visits from Elk, Mule Deer, Bear, Antelope, and even Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep on the property, fall evenings and early mornings will provide you with plenty of opportunities to fill your tag on your very own property or in the adjacent National Forest. Situated within Hunting Unit 581, you can secure an Over-The-Counter (OTC) Elk license for either Archery, 2nd or 3rd rifle seasons, along with extremely low preference points (0-2 points) required to draw a Mule Deer, Bear, and Antelope license. In addition to its exclusive and private National Forest access, expand your opportunities on over 6,000 acres of publicly accessible hunting lands in the neighboring State Trust Lands and State Wildlife areas, all within 8 miles of the ranch.

Lakeview Hideaway provides a true Rocky Mountain panorama, with timbered mountains to the North and a sweeping valley adorned with lakes and distant peaks to the South. Open meadows, a year-round spring (a huge Big Game gathering spot), Aspen groves, Pine pockets, and rocky outcroppings provide an idyllic habitat for local wildlife throughout the ranch. The existing 3-bed / 2-bath off-grid cottage is supported by a well, septic, propane, and solar power. Enhancing your homestead, discover a quaint Adobe Hut, a Bunkhouse, a versatile Yurt frame, and a well-equipped barn poised for horses, ATVs, or boats.

Embrace a life enriched by nature, wildlife, adventure, and solitude—a realm where the Rocky Mountains become your playground and your retreat becomes a legacy.
