Property Description

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Colorado heritage! Step into history with this 1930 rustic retreat, perfectly positioned in the prestigious High Drive neighborhood - just minutes from Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. With sweeping views of Longs Peak, this 2-building property sits on .44 acres north of the Fall River corridor near the eastern border of RMNP. Remodeled 2006. With a total of ~1413 sf, the Main Cabin (~714 SF) is anchored by the original 1930 moss rock fireplace.
