Mountain Top Hunting Cabin | 35.6 Acres | Bakers Peak Thunderbird Wilderness
Description
Escape to the mountains and experience the privacy, wildlife, and wide-open views that make northwest Colorado such a sought-after destination for outdoor recreation. Located approximately 43 miles north of Craig in the Bakers Peak Thunderbird Wilderness, Lot 68 encompasses 35.6 acres of mountain terrain with a rustic cabin perched in a setting that offers what may be the property’s greatest feature—exceptional panoramic views from the mountaintop.
Wildlife is a regular part of the landscape, with elk, deer, moose, grouse, and other mountain wildlife frequently moving through the property and surrounding wilderness. The property’s location and adjoining public land provide an appealing setting for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a private mountain retreat away from the pace of everyday life.
The existing cabin provides a substantial head start for creating your own hunting camp or four-season getaway. The cabin is equipped with a generator for power, wood-burning stove, propane heater, propane/electric refrigerator, propane cook stove, propane instant water heater, and a 200-gallon water tank. The cabin is furnished with pots, pans, silverware, and bed linens, making it possible to spend time at the property without starting completely from scratch. A spring is also located on the property. The cabin needs some final touches, offering an opportunity for the new owner to finish it according to their own vision.
Outdoor storage is already in place with a 12’ x 16’ storage shed, providing additional space for gear, tools, hunting equipment, and recreational toys.
One of the property’s significant advantages is its relationship with public land. A portion of the property borders approximately 235 acres of BLM land, creating direct access to additional open space and expanding the recreational opportunities surrounding your own 35.6 acres.
For hunters, the surrounding area offers opportunities for elk, deer, grouse, and other game species. For those who simply enjoy the outdoors, the property provides a basecamp for exploring the surrounding mountains, wildlife habitat, and backcountry. Winter access is seasonal, with snowmobile access available when conditions require it.
Located approximately 43 miles north of Craig, the property offers the rare combination of mountain privacy and reasonable proximity to town. Craig provides groceries, fuel, restaurants, hardware, medical services, and other necessities, while the surrounding region offers abundant opportunities for hunting, camping, hiking, wildlife viewing, snowmobiling, and exploring.
Whether you’re looking for a dedicated hunting cabin, a private mountain escape, or a place to create your own Colorado backcountry retreat, Lot 68 offers 35.6 acres, an existing cabin, direct BLM adjacency, abundant wildlife, and a mountain-top setting with impressive views.
