Set along Creede’s historic Bachelor Loop—a scenic 17-mile loop that starts and ends right in downtown Creede and serves as a major hub for ATV enthusiasts—this serene 10.26-acre off-grid property offers the perfect blend of solitude, rustic comfort, and sweeping valley views. Nearby Rat Creek Pass is a renowned local off-roader favorite, making this setting an absolute dream for trail adventure. Nestled among dense pine and aspen groves with a seasonal creek meandering through the land, this rare retreat directly borders the Rio Grande National Forest on both its northern and southern boundaries, providing direct access to hiking, hunting, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and four-wheeling right from your doorstep. Unlike many remote mining claims and Bachelor Loop parcels that require grueling drives, this parcel sits just minutes from downtown Creede’s shops and dining, offering easy accessibility throughout the dry months via USFS Road 503 (road is not plowed in winter months). Already in place is a cozy, well-built one-room structure designed for high-country comfort and instant basecamp living. The building is heavily insulated with R30 walls and an R45 ceiling, warmed by a central woodstove, and beautifully finished throughout with character-rich blue stain (beetle kill) pine and durable cement floors for easy maintenance. Electric wiring is already installed—just hook up a generator for immediate power and lighting—and the property includes a brand-new outhouse. Use this efficient space as your primary getaway now or live in it while building your dream cabin, retaining the existing structure as a guest house, studio, workshop, or garage. Offered at $350,000, this mountain retreat combines rugged privacy, convenience, and a rare opportunity to create your own high-altitude sanctuary in one of Colorado’s most captivating landscapes.
