Don’t miss this opportunity to own your dream cabin with spring rights! This charming 1 bed/1 bath cabin is located in the old mining town of Irwin. Owners enjoy privacy and seclusion in the mountains, yet are still close enough to the town of Crested Butte to pop in for some boutique shopping or dining. The cabin is mostly solar powered with a backup generator, propane heating system, and on-demand hot water heater. Water comes from a year-round spring on the property and is stored in an underground cistern. The cabin has excellent satellite internet, so you can connect or disconnect as you please. Let’s just say that you may be off the grid, but you’ll hardly be roughing it. Upon entering the cabin, you’re greeted by a cozy but open floor plan. The kitchen boasts gorgeous cabinetry, a full-size propane powered stove, deep farmhouse sink, and stainless steel refrigerator. The main features of the living room are the wood stove and the Nanawall that opens up to the huge wraparound deck for true indoor-outdoor living. The full bathroom is on this level as well, finished in Colorado river rock and slate tile. Head upstairs to the loft style bedroom with lots of closet space and vaulted ceiling. In the summer, this area abounds with wildflowers. Lake Irwin is just a few minutes from your front door, where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, and barbecues. Some of the area’s most spectacular hikes, like Scarp Ridge Loop, Mt. Emmons, and Copley Lake are nearby as well. In the winter months, the property is accessed via snowmobile on an easy, groomed road. Cozy up by the wood stove after a day of snowmobiling, backcountry skiing, and snowshoeing. If that’s not your thing, I promise, it’s someone’s! You can long term rent the cabin for extra income, just as the owners have done for the past several years. They’ve also had success with short term rentals in the summer. At just under two acres, there’s plenty of room to expand the current home if you wish. The sellers have drawn up plans to build a garage, and county permits allow for a second home or addition. Offered furnished and turn-key, just pack up the car and move right in… the mountains are calling!
