Beautiful Mountain Retreat Overlooking Private Lake
9071 State Highway 165 Wetmore, CO 81253
Description
Welcome to your dream mountain retreat in the breathtaking Wet Mountain Range! This expansive 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is nestled on over 62 awe-inspiring acres that border 100’s of thousands of acres of the San Isabel National Forest. Imagine waking up to your own ½ acre private lake, multiple springs, and the soothing sounds of Bigelow Creek.
The property is a natural paradise, surrounded by towering spruce, pines, and aspens, with a vast grassy meadow and ridge that once hosted the charming Ski San Isabel ski resort. A newer Cleary Barn, multiple sheds, and an old caretaker’s cabin offer endless possibilities, whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a short-term rental business, or a peaceful escape to tranquility.
The private lake just steps away from the home is perfect for fishing, ice-skating, swimming, and paddling, while the abundant wildlife, including elk, deer, bear, and turkey, can be spotted right from your windows. The vaulted main room features a stunning wood burning stove, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere during any season.
Additionally, a separate 1-bed/1-bath apartment just off of the main house is perfect for guests or rental income, while the nearby caretaker’s cabin, though needing some love, has full utilities, presenting further potential for your vision.
Conveniently located within an hour of Westcliffe, Canon City, Rye, and Pueblo, this mountain sanctuary offers the perfect blend of serene seclusion and easy access to amenities. This is more than just a home—it's a lifestyle of stunning natural beauty and endless adventure.
